Dott Boss

First off, Blue was a treasure. Extremely friendly and provided great service. As for the rest, the drinks were good. We had a Charcuterie Board and it was an interesting flavor and adventure. We did eat the whole thing.

The atmosphere was great, and the booths were comfortable. It was well lit and overall a great expience. Thinking of skipping out on our lesser hotels breakfast to enjoy Dott Boss again.

Whenever I travel for work, one of the things I look forward to most is diving into the local food scene. When I was in KC for a week, I had a full list of spots I wanted to try. But for the first time I can remember… I didn’t make it past one place.

After some quick math, out of maybe 14 breakfasts and dinners that week… I ate here 11 times. Eleven. Times.

Why would anyone possibly do that?
Well, have one meal here and you’ll understand. The menu is insane—like “I want one of everything” insane—and the execution is flawless. Every single dish comes out looking like a work of art.

A few personal standouts: the chopped club, mushroom Benedict, banana bread French toast, lamb sliders, and the steak vegetable bowl, Tenders, Brie. I’ve worked in kitchens, and this was genuinely one of the most impressive displays of culinary detail I’ve ever seen.

But here’s the crazy part: the food wasn’t even the best thing about this place.

The people are.
On a good day at most restaurants, you might remember your server’s name. Here? I swear I know 80% of the staff—Blue, Franky, Lucas, Lauren, Nicole, Brittani, and Franky’s mom (the sous chef!). Every single one of them is kind, hardworking, and somehow makes you feel like family.

I’m leaving KC today, and honestly, what I’ll miss most isn’t the BBQ or the skyline—it’s my friends at Dott Boss.
An incredible culinary experience, only surpassed by even more incredible people. ❤️

P.S. Please come visit us in Canada. I’ll cook for you this time. 🇨🇦
