Matt Stewart, an Emmy-award winning journalist, reporter + anchoranchor on the FOX4 Morning Show in Kansas City, is sharing 100+ iconic restaurants in his new book, “Unique Eats and Eateries of Kansas City.”

Matt visited and interviewed hundreds of chefs — all to tell the individual + personal stories behind their restaurants. He profiles 86 of the most unique spots in KC, including Dixon’s Chili, Arthur Bryant’s, and Cardboard Corner.

Each online order will be signed + comes with a bookmark with a checklist of all of the restaurants to mark off when you visit, encouraging readers to support local.
