Plenty to Love
Our February issue — "Love Local" — is one of our easiest issues to put together. There are so many gems here in Kansas City and the Northland, so it's always nice when we can just dedicate an entire issue to some of our favorite places.
First up is Price Rite, which is, hands down, my favorite hidden gem in the Northland. Price Rite is a family-owned corner store right by Line Creek that makes some of the best pizza in the city. It gets overlooked because, well, it's an unassuming place and off the beaten path — especially given the years-long construction that just wrapped on Waukomis! One of my family's favorite things to do is visit Line Creek, whether it's to splash around in the little waterfalls, take a ride on the railroad, or ride our bikes. We cap the end of the day at Price Rite, grabbing slices of hot-andready pizza to eat in the back of the pick-up truck. We usually have to fend my kids off of the pizza until it's cool enough to eat. It's the perfect end to a perfect day.
We reach a little further south in this issue, but I promise it's for good reason. I love a good staycation, and luckily, there are plenty of places in the city to spend the night. Hotel Kansas City gets featured this month and our dinner at The Town Company will be one I remember for years. I also loved that we could spend our entire stay being entertained inside the hotel without ever leaving the premises.
Finally, the Weston farm, Green Dirt, recently expanded down south with a fully serviceable restaurant in the Crossroads. Green Dirt on Oak expands the creamery's cheese operations, adds another cafe to their belt (please grab one of their amazing grilled cheeses!), but also includes a farm-to-table restaurant concept to their foray. The restaurant is truly nose-to-tail, with so many of the dishes utilizing the farm's sheep. It's an idea you won't find too many other places, and definitely nowhere else in the city.
We hope you love this month's magazine as much as you love Kansas City. And for us, that's a lot!
Until next month,

From-Scratch Pasta
what you need
Lavender Bath Salt Blend
what you need
16 ounces Bokek Dead Sea Salt 20 drops lavender essential oil
what you do
In a mixing bowl, add drops of the essential oil to the bath salt and mix well; store in a glass jar. Add 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the scented salts to a bath for a relaxing experience. SeaSalt.com
Yield: 1 pound
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
4 large eggs
what you do
1. Mound the flour in the center of a work surface with a well in the middle. Crack the eggs into the well and beat with a fork until smooth, then work flour into eggs with the fork. Use a bench scraper to work in the rest of the flour a little at a time. When the flour is incorporated, form the dough with your hands into a rounded mass for kneading. Lightly dust your workspace with flour and knead dough about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover dough with a bowl or plastic wrap and rest 1 1/2 hours, or chill overnight.
2. To roll by hand, flour a clean work surface. Vigorously roll dough to a very thin circle and roll constantly with even pressure as it stretches for several minutes until as thin as possible, almost translucent.
3. To cut by hand, lightly fold sheets one at a time into thirds and cut to desired thickness. Recipe from MarthaStewart.com
Dark Chocolate Truffles
what you need
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup cocoa powder, for dusting
what you do
1. Bring the cream to just a simmer in a saucepan over low heat. Pour the cream over the chocolate in a bowl and let stand about 10 minutes to melt the chocolate. Add the vanilla, stir until smooth and set aside to cool for 1 hour at room temperature.
2. Beat chocolate at medium speed until thick and light-colored. Spread over the bottom of a baking dish, smooth and refrigerate 2 hours until firm.
3. Pour cocoa powder onto a deep plate or shallow bowl, and using a melon baller or small ice cream scoop, scoop out balls of chocolate. Roll in cocoa powder until coated and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Recipe from FoodNetwork.com

THE LITTLE STORE turns ten
PRICE RITE MARKET & DELI IS ONE OF THE NORTHLAND'S BEST HIDDEN GEMS
ARTICLE BY JENNY VERGARA PHOTOGRAPHY BY HANNAH SCHREINER
The Price Rite Market and Deli, lovingly known as “The Little Store,” has been a cornerstone of the Northland community for the last decade. Known for its delicious and affordable Italian specialties, the store is far more than just a place to grab a meal or pick up groceries—it’s a hub for building connections and fostering good neighbors. Owners Santo and Jeannine Smiroldo, who took over the store in 2014, have successfully created not just a culinary destination here, but a true community gathering spot.
When the couple purchased the abandoned woodframe building, it was a forgotten relic of the early 1900s. Originally constructed as a single-family home, it had evolved into a feed store, and later, a corner market. But after the previous owners closed its doors in 2009, the building sat dormant for years, crammed with old groceries, broken fixtures, and forgotten relics.
For Santo, a grocery man himself, taking on this corner store was deeply personal. Growing up in Kansas City’s North End, he worked at his grandparents’ grocery and liquor stores, stocking shelves and helping out after school. When “The Little Store” went up for sale, he jumped at the opportunity to honor his family’s legacy while serving a new community.
After clearing out the space, the couple installed a commercial kitchen, allowing them to offer hot, fresh food to go. Refrigerated cases were stocked with takeand-bake favorites like pizzas, pastas, garlic bread, and sandwiches. Outside, when the weather is nice, the covered patio, filled with picnic tables, offers customers a bit of shade and the opportunity to enjoy their breakfast, lunch, or dinner alfresco.
Inside the store, narrow aisles lined with goods provide a cozy corner store charm as customers squeeze by each other, exchanging greetings while shopping or waiting for their food. The staff behind the counter greet regulars and newcomers alike with a smile. It is the kind of hospitality that makes strangers feel like neighbors.
The deli menu is packed with Italian specialties. Favorites include New York-style pizza, stromboli, Italian beef sandwiches and the crunchiest onion rings.
People also flock in for their dinner special, a bucket of spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread for just $25.99, enough to feed a family of four.
Beyond the deli, the store is a treasure trove of culinary finds. Shelves are stocked with cans of Italian San Marzano tomatoes, jars of lupini beans and packages of high-quality dried pasta. You’ll discover cases of peach Nehi soda next to tubs of saltwater taffy, and even a bottle of Gooey Butter Cake-flavored crème liquor. Italian wines, slices of cheesecake, and Italian soda in every color and flavor round out the eclectic offerings.
Even after a decade, Santo and Jeannine are still at the heart of the operation, with Santo working behind the counter seven days a week. The couple’s shared vision has turned Price Rite Market and Deli into more than just a store—it’s a beacon of community spirit and proves the power that good food has to bring people together.
Whether you’re stopping in for a slice or picking up dinner for the family, you’ll leave with more than just groceries—you’ll leave with a sense of belonging, and that is worth celebrating.

put STAY
Check into the Hotel Kansas City for an all-in-one staycation
ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY KATIE CURRID
Every year, my husband and I celebrate our wedding anniversary with a staycation. Our anniversary is the day after Christmas, thanks to an elopement on military leave 11 years ago. Every year I think it’s such an inconvenient, busy time of year to celebrate our anniversary (it’s also in the midst of two of our kids’ birthdays, on top of the holidays and my birthday), but the staycation always proves to be
exactly what we need in the midst of it all and I’m always thankful we make the time.
We’ve done our staycation now for at least five years, and we’ve stayed in plenty of cool spots all over the city, from boutique hotels to cabin retreats on the edge of the metro area. Hotel Kansas City has long been at the top of our list, though it eluded me for one reason or another year after year. But this year, we finally had the chance.
Hotel Kansas City is a gorgeous 14-story building in the heart of the city’s Library District. The 1918 building originally housed the Kansas City Club and contained handball courts, restaurants, a bowling alley, and even a swimming pool, in addition to hotel rooms. The hotel, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, is a beautiful blend of 1920s art deco details along with early 20th-century gothic revival woodwork.
My husband and I arrived at Hotel Kansas City on a blustery winter day and decided quickly that we wanted to check in and not leave the premises until our checkout time. Thankfully, that was more than easy enough to do, as the hotel has a coffee bar, two bars and a restaurant. After nerding out over the exquisite gothic woodwork in the lobby and the art deco finishes near the elevators, we had a quick glass of wine in our room and then headed down to dinner at The Town Company.
Last year, The Town Company’s executive chef Johnny Leach was a semifinalist for the James Beard Award for Outstanding Chef. Along with executive pastry chef Helen Jo Leach, The Town Company’s team delivers a modern menu that changes with the seasons. The dining room is cozy and intimate, with low lighting that compliments the white oak burning hearth that drives many of the items on the menu.
The menu is made up of small plates that are meant to be shared. Our server recommended we order three to five items, and because I couldn’t pick, we went with five. We started with the hot buns, served with carrot dip and house-cultured butter, which were devoured quickly and licked clean. Next, a sucker for seafood, we ordered the lobster toast, which was served on Japanese milk bread and topped with something called tasty crunch. It was like an Asian fusion lobster roll. Then came the smoked mackerel and carrot fritters, which were finely shredded, deep-fried
carrots shaped into a tall rectangle and topped with tinned fish, horseradish and capers. This turned out to be my husband’s favorite dish of the meal, which is a big deal since he’s not a huge vegetable guy, but it was such a unique treat that didn’t taste like anything we’d ever eaten before. Lastly came the main entrees — a chile-smoked pork chop with cornbread and ribeye with fried rice. We probably could have ordered nothing but these entrees, as they were plentiful helpings, though we would’ve missed out on some amazing food. The meats melted in your mouth and the cornbread turned out to be my favorite dish of the meal, as it was the perfect mix of soft and crisp and buttery.
As busy parents and Northlanders, it’s not often we get downtown for a nice meal, and we tend to be picky about where we go. Going out to eat can feel expensive these days, and lately, I’m hesitant to go somewhere new when I’m not sure if the value will hold up. However, our meal at The Town Company will be one we talk about for a long time and it was absolutely worth every penny. Every single bite was perfection, a well-balanced marriage of crispiness and fluffiness, tang and buttery-ness, or salt
and fat. While it’s a fantastic special occasion restaurant, I think it could also be an excellent happy hour spot, with its wonderful cocktails and small plates, or a fun night out with friends who split multiple dishes and the tab. It’s a place I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to again and one I will remember for a long time.
After dinner, we ventured down to Nighthawk, a speakeasy-esque bar in the basement with live entertainment. Though we were too early for the show, a jazz singer performed later in the evening, and we had a lovely time exploring the bar and sharing a negroni. After more exploring of the hotel — seriously, we went on an internet deep dive with the building and neighborhood’s history — we cozied up in our room and then woke in the morning and ventured down to the lobby’s coffee bar.
We were sad to leave after breakfast, but had such a restful stay and were able to return to our kids rejuvenated and ready for another year of marriage. With an unforgettable dinner and a fantastic piece of our city’s history, Hotel Kansas City was definitely one of our best staycations yet.
This staycation was made possible in partnership with Hotel Kansas City as a hosted visit. CONTINUED >
CHEESE, PLEASE
GREEN DIRT'S NEW CROSSROADS RESTAURANT COMPLETES THEIR FARM-TO-TABLE CIRCLE
Since opening its doors in April 2024, Green Dirt on Oak has become more than just a destination for cheese lovers—it’s an immersive culinary experience that bridges the gap between farm and table. An urban outpost of Green Dirt Farm in Weston, MO, this cozy yet expansive restaurant offers a curated selection of artisanal cheeses, thoughtfully paired wines, and an evolving menu that celebrates the region’s agrarian roots.
ARTICLE BY PATRICK MULVIHILL PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANNA PETROW
For anyone who’s passionate about the art of cheesemaking—or just eating its byproduct—Green Dirt on Oak is simply a must-visit.
Green Dirt Farm was originally founded by Sarah Hoffmann in 2002 as a testament to her commitment to sustainable agriculture and exceptional cheesemaking. Located about 40 miles north of Kansas City, the farm’s mission centers on producing high-quality, small-batch, handcrafted sheep’s milk cheeses.
Today, Green Dirt Farm is celebrated nationally, with its cheeses earning more than 90 awards and accolades at prestigious events like the American Cheese
Society Awards, World Championship Cheese Contest, and the Good Food Awards. The farm itself has become a beloved regional agritourism destination for food enthusiasts, offering tours, cheese tastings, and farm-to-table dinners with some of Kansas City’s top chefs showcasing this connection between land and plate.
“Happy ewes make the most delicious milk,” Sarah frequently attests. And it all starts with the term “green dirt,” which alludes to the farm’s efforts to cultivate some of the region’s most nutritious pasture grasses. The team practices rotational grazing to build healthier soil and
“HAPPY EWES MAKE THE MOST DELICIOUS MILK."
prevent soil erosion year-over-year while committing to humanely raising a well-socialized flock of sheep. The result? More flavorful milk and the highest quality artisan cheeses.
Compared to standard cow milk cheese, Green Dirt’s products offer a rich, creamy texture and a uniquely complex flavor profile. Sheep’s milk cheese is naturally higher in protein, calcium, and essential nutrients, making it easier to digest for many people due to its lower lactose content. Green Dirt’s standout (and most award-winning) products include Prairie Tomme, a hard alpine-style aged cheese with nutty, earthy, and slightly tangy
notes, Bossa, a creamy, washed-rind “stinky” cheese, and their line of fresh, spreadable cheese which can be found in many area grocery stores.
What truly sets Green Dirt on Oak apart from other cheese-centric establishments is its commitment to education and community. While the distinctive taste of sheep’s milk cheeses make them the preferred choice for many discerning palates, the Green Dirt’s menu is making these flavors more approachable and accessible for Kansas Citians.
Put simply, Green Dirt on Oak isn’t just a spot to eat; it’s a place to learn and connect with the stories behind the food.
The restaurant’s knowledgeable staff are always eager to share insights about the cheesemaking process, from the careful tending of sheep to the aging of the final product to its incorporation into the food they serve.
The menu at Green Dirt on Oak, helmed by chef Oskar Arévalo, is as seasonal as it is inventive. Cheese and charcuterie are, unsurprisingly, the stars of the show. Patrons can choose from a rotating selection of Green Dirt’s own creations alongside the usual cheeseboard suspects like pickles, nuts, and locally sourced honey. Not to be outdone, their grilled cheese elevates the humble comfort food to a hearty and showstopping meal. Paired with a glass of biodynamic wine, a locally brewed beer, or Kansas City-distilled spirits, every meal feels like a celebration of the region.
Green Dirt on Oak’s space feels like a reflection of the farm’s ethos—and of Sarah herself: warm, inviting, and unpretentious. Exposed brick walls, wooden accents, and cozy seating options create an atmosphere that encourages lingering. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite, indulging in a leisurely wine-andcheese pairing, or shopping for the perfect gift in the retail section, Green Dirt on Oak makes you feel right at home.
For those familiar with Sarah, Green Dirt on Oak is an exemplary symbol of her farm’s mission. By bringing the farm’s products to a rustic yet urban setting— located across Oak from the shiny glass facade of the former KC Star building—the team has created a space where local food culture can thrive.
More than two decades after its founding, Green Dirt’s reputation continues to grow, and it’s not hard to see why. Their cheeses have graced tables around the country, from casual get-togethers to high-profile events. Each wheel and wedge tells a story of meticulous craftsmanship and a simple yet admirable (and delicious) mission, building on Kansas City’s standing as a true culinary destination.
As the region’s food scene evolves, places like Green Dirt on Oak play a vital role in shaping its identity. Sarah, Oskar and the Green Dirt team aren’t just selling food; they’re fostering a deeper appreciation for the connections between farmers, artisans, and diners. For anyone looking to experience the best of local flavor, Green Dirt on Oak offers an unforgettable journey into the heart of Midwestern hospitality and gastronomy.
Stop into the East Crossroads restaurant—open Wednesday through Sunday— to sample their award-winning cheeses, sip a thoughtfully chosen wine, and savor the knowledge that every bite is rooted in a commitment to sustainability, community, and the simple joy of great food.
TO MY
Valentine
ARTICLE BY LEANN PARKER | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JANIE JONES
Create timeless keepsakes for those you love with this easy DIY Valentine Stationary. There is something special and reminiscent of our earlier years of creating homemade valentines for those special in our lives. While stores are filled with Valentine candy, cards and gifts, the thoughtfulness and time put into to a handmade card holds a different meaning. Words are the things we treasure most, so let those you care about most know how you treasure them this Valentine’s Day.
What you will need
• Kitchen Knife
• Red or Russet Potato (for heart)
• Romaine Lettuce (for rose)
• Acrylic Paint
• Paint Brush
• Blank Envelopes
• Blank Cards
• Heart Template (SilvertoothHome.com/blog/DIY-stationery)
• Hand Lettering Template (SilvertoothHome.com/blog/DIY-stationery)
• Light Box
Instructions for Heart Prints
1. Cut the potato in half. Using a small knife, carefully carve a heart shape onto the flat side of the potato. Carve freestyle or use the free template under “DIY Stationery” on the blog at silvertoothhome.com/ blog/diy-stationery. Even when using the template, each carving will come out as unique art like the ones you see here.
2. With a paint brush, apply paint to the heart shape on the potato.
3. Stamp the potato heart onto blank stationery.
4. Set aside until completely dry.
Instructions for Rose Prints
1. Cut the end off of romaine lettuce. Set leaves aside and use the stem.
2. Using a paintbrush, apply paint to the lettuce stem.
3. Stamp the lettuce “rose” onto blank stationery.
4. Set aside until completely dry.
Once your stationery is completely dry it is time to add beautiful Valentine’s Day lettering. If you have beautiful handwriting then draw free hand. If you’re not as confident use a light box and my hand lettering template (found on the blog at SilvertoothHome.com/blog/DIYstationery) to transfer lettering onto the stationery. To do this, first lay the hand lettering template on a light box with the stationery on top. Then trace the hand lettering onto the stationery with a pen or marker of choice.
THE LURE OF SCOTTSDALE
BY MICHELLE GLICKSMAN
FROM RELAXATION TO SHOPPING TO GOLF TO SIGHTSEEING, THIS DESTINATION HAS IT ALL
The endless skies of blue are interrupted only by cacti rising majestically from the ground, arms reaching skyward, and palm trees, which are often adorned by lights that twinkle when the sun sets. There are vistas of open desert, rising mountains, and even the lush green of the locale’s many golf courses. And, of course, there are the vibrant shopping, dining, art, and event scenes, too.
Scottsdale is a city located in Metro Phoenix in Arizona, which as a whole is nicknamed “The Valley of the Sun” for its more than 330 days of sun each year—one of the reasons the area is a draw for visitors. With few rainy days, it’s easy to plan your daily activities without worry. Yes, though, the summer gets hot. But the rest of the year? Perfection.
Scottsdale is a mix of a resort destination, city, and suburbs, with more open desert the further north you venture. To the south is Downtown Scottsdale —also known as Old Town Scottsdale—which is a mix of old Southwestern charm (including the legendary cowboy saloon, Rusty Spur Saloon); modern eateries from famed chefs; lots of shopping at small boutiques and specialty shops; the Arts District , which is filled with art galleries; and even tasting rooms from Arizona wineries located along the famed Scottsdale Wine Trail
Nearby is Scottsdale Fashion Square , one of the nation’s premier shopping destinations. While you’ll find many usual retailers there, there are also more than 40 luxury brands, including Christian Louboutin, Bottega Veneta, and Louis Vuitton.
Heading north are open-air shopping destinations Scottsdale Quarter and Kierland Commons , which sit across the street from each other. Take the afternoon or evening to stroll through, exploring the shops, restaurants, and activity destinations such as the indoor mini-golf destination Puttshack
What else is there to see and do? Plenty.
CULTURE
The beauty of Scottsdale’s Sonoran Desert led famed architect, Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), to build Taliesin West , his winter home and desert laboratory, in a mountainside in East Scottsdale. Today, there are daily tours of the UNESCO World Heritage site, and events are offered often.
However, Wright’s architecture isn’t the only art in the area. Beyond the Arts District in Downtown Scottsdale, there is public art all around the city, from sculptures to murals, so definitely keep your eyes open!
There are also museums such as Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West , a Smithsonian Affiliate, which showcases items from the Greater Western region, and the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art , affectionately known as SMoCA.
On Thursday evenings, there’s a free public ArtWalk in the Arts District, where galleries stay open later. Wander the streets and galleries, often against a backdrop of live music and even artist appearances.
NEARBY
While there’s so much to do, see, and experience in Scottsdale proper, there’s also much to see nearby. Make sure to experience the Musical Instrument Museum (affectionately known as the MIM), which is the world’s only global instrument museum. Desert Botanical Garden features an array of desert plants, and Phoenix Art Museum has an impressive collection of art. And, of course, the Phoenix Zoo is a perfect place for both kids and adults alike.
