What will you eat for Easter? KC restaurants serving surf & turf, glazed ham, mimosas

Many Kansas City area restaurants are serving up Easter specials, both for takeout and dining in (call for reservations).

According to the National Restaurant Association, trends that have been surging during the pandemic should still be popular through the rest of the year, including an overwhelming shift to off-premises dining, blended meals (part homemade, part restaurant-supplied), restaurant-brand meal kits, and alcohol to-go.

All of these trends are showing up as part of Easter specials at some area restaurants.
