Just when I start to get extra frustrated again, with what I feel are limited options locally, something amazing happens to give me hope. The latest inspiration comes from a local business taking their existing operation of carry out seasonal, organic meals, and expanding it to a storefront (which just happens to be in walking distance of my current residence).
The space itself has so many possibilities with what may evolve, and I am personally so excited about watching the process. canihaveabite? hosted their soft opening today, and I made sure to take an extended lunch break to attend. The new location, located in the Waldo neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri, houses the kitchen, where all of the delicious food is created, as well as an organic coffee bar featuring items from Red-Headed Philosopher Coffee.
The best part of this new business expanding for me personally is the fact that the menu is GMO free, and always includes gluten free options. I am delighted to finally see this happening in Kansas City. We are so far behind the times with so many things. And I have almost lost my patience with this particular issue too many times to count. But maybe, just maybe we are catching up to the point that I can consider staying here. It is such an affordable place to live, with many positive characteristics. However, it is not quite a mecca for safe food that I can enjoy………at least not yet.
Looking forward to trying out more menu items from canihaveabite? Thus far, I have purchased their items from a local coffee shop, or weekly market. I can now order online, and pick up a few blocks from my house.
