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.

Matt will also be popping up around KC over the coming weeks to chat about the book + sign copies.
