6 new Kansas City area menu items: BBQ quiche, brisket chili beer cheese fries, more

With fall weather rolling in, locally owned restaurants and chain operations are putting new seasonal items on their menus — from new barbecue options to desserts. Here’s a sampling from across the metro:

Local restaurants

▪ Andre’s Confiserie Suisse, Overland Park, South Plaza: Its new Q39 BBQ Brisket Quiche features caramelized onions, Calabrian peppers, chunks of Q39 smoked brisket and barbecue sauce mixed with Gruyere and Emmentaler cheeses and topped with a drizzle of barbecue sauce. Customers can preorder now for pickup or shipment starting Oct. 1. It will be offered in October and November while supplies last. $35

It also will be available by the slice on launch day, Oct. 1, at both locations for $8.75.

▪ The Peacock, Westport: Liquid Cheesecake (coconut cheesecake, mango puree and dragon fruit syrup with graham cracker crumbs) has a creamer texture than traditional cheesecake, according to the chef. $10
