It’s not always easy to define Midwestern cuisine. At its heart and soul, Midwestern cuisine is rooted in comfort foods, but that doesn’t mean we can’t imbue staple dishes of meat, potatoes, farm-fresh vegetables and fresh-baked goods with a comfortable dose of creativity.

The Royals need a translator to communicate with outfielder Nori Aoki, who was acquired from Milwaukee in the offseason and who is the team’s first Japanese-born position player and just their fourth overall from Japan, but it looks like a snug and happy fit so far.
Why aren’t more airports like ours? Because it was built for a future with supersonic passenger service — a future that never materialized. Still, KCI has many local fans who say it remains one of the most convenient airports in the world. They do not want its three circular terminals replaced with a single modern one.

At this point, we’re not sure whether we want Children’s Mercy nurse Nikki Ferrell to win this season’s “The Bachelor” or not. In case you haven’t been following the mayhem surrounding one of the least-favorite bachelors of all time, walk down that rose-strewn memory lane with us today. The season finale begins at 7 p.m. Monday on ABC.
“True Detective,” the runaway HBO hit about two Louisiana cops chasing an elusive evil for two decades, wraps up its first season Sunday. Rustin Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and his old partner Marty Hart (Woody Harrelson) are all set to nail down at least one part of whatever awfulness is coming. “True Detective” deserves most of the effusive praise it’s getting, managing to be dark, sexy, terrifying and sad, sometimes all at once.

It’s an astonishing project for a congregation just 24 years in existence and already boasting a hulk of a building that opened a decade ago. The plans call for one of the largest stained glass windows in the country. But they also call for more intimacy. The Rev. Adam Hamilton describes the challenge for this megachurch with 18,700 members: “To grow larger by growing smaller.”
A review by The Star of public records from Kansas City, Lee’s Summit, Overland Park and Olathe tracking the replacement of residential heating and cooling units in 2013 determined that permits were rarely pulled. The records showed that some of the area’s well-known and established heating and cooling companies took out few if any permits. This means many homeowners don’t get safety inspections to ensure carbon monoxide is vented properly.
After becoming international sensations two weeks ago when the judges ran out of words, Kush and Sophia Hoffman met again Saturday for a chance to go to the Scripps National Spelling Bee. When Kush finally won, the polite young man gave the moderator a handshake before hurriedly going to Sophia. They hugged.
When most people are winding their weekend down and preparing for the work week ahead on Sunday night, a crowd of arts, culture and community supporters will gather at Farm to Market Bread Co. for the first Bread! KC event of 2014.
Sure, sauces get nearly all the public attention, but if you’re interested in legitimate Kansas City barbecue, the rub is the other very important half of the equation. “It’s said that Kansas City didn’t invent barbecue, we just perfected it,” says barbecue pro Rod Gray of Leawood. That includes creating the products that make perfection possible.
The three-day negotiating window for NFL free agency began Saturday, and the Chiefs have about $9.62 million to spend, barring any restructures or other cap moves. That’s not a lot, but it’s enough to seek some cost-effective solutions at various positions that are considered to be team needs.
