Best in Dough!
A donut can be whatever it needs to be. The only limit is the imagination. Coming in many shapes and sizes, the possibilities for toppings and fillings feel endless. In Kansas City, donuts cast a wide net. A diversity of offerings from a wide spectrum of purveyors. In honor of National Donut Day, I celebrated the best of each variety.
Devan’s (Double) Dozen: Burger Edition, Part II
You’ve waited for it. You’ve anticipated it. Now, it’s here: my list of the Top 12 burger spots in Kansas City. As much as soul food likes to claim the comfort food title, for me, nothing beats a cheeseburger, fries, and a shake. So if you’re hunting for the best burgers in Kansas City (based on taste, quality, and value), you’re in the right place. This is the definitive list of KC’s best local burgers; at least, according to me.
Devan’s (Double) Dozen: Burger Edition, Part I
From the paper-thin smashburger to the diminutive slider to the carefully constructed pub burger, I love cheeseburgers in all their glorious forms. As my list of Kansas City burgers conquered only grows longer, it felt like time to double down and return to the roots of “Devan’s Dozen” with a roundup of the best burgers in Kansas City from well-known hotspots, to must-try gourmet burgers, to the hidden gems you’ve never heard of.
Fantasy Baseball - Part 2
As my perfect game continues, I can only imagine one team fit to face Jackie Robinson and the Kansas City Monarchs. On this day of all days, a team comprised of the men who built the bridge across the chasm of baseball prejudice, and those who crossed it, feels like the only option.
Fantasy Baseball - Part 1
When Opening Day rolls around, I can’t help but think of all that once was great in Kansas City baseball. I love my Royals, but mostly, I think about the Monarchs, and what it would have been like to see those legends play at old Muehlebach Field. Since I will likely never see a perfect game, I decided to write one.

KCRW 2025 in Review
Simply put, my relationship with Kansas City Restaurant Week (KCRW) is complicated. In recent years, the promotion does not represent the value it once did. However, it still marks the beginning of the calendar for any Fountain City Foodie. The opportunity to support businesses I love and try new things was too much to ignore. This year, I enjoyed five different spots during KCRW, which I chose to grade on meal quality, service, and promotional value.
FCS: Best of 2024
No matter how aware I am of it, this exact article sneaking up on me is becoming a bit of an annual tradition. I am always thankful for this time to reflect on the year that was. So as I recount the “Best of 2024”, and the “Biggest Loss” of the year, it is important to remember that the places named within were not necessarily the very best in KC of a given category or that they were brand new, they were just the best of things that were brand new to me. That distinction is always important.
Shipping Off to Austin
In certain parts of this great nation, barbeque is so much more than food—it’s a religion. Ribs, briskets, and sausages are meant not only to be consumed but revered. Here in Kansas City, we know this all too well. But the burden of my curiosity left me wanting more, so when the chance presented itself to dig into the offerings of another barbeque mecca, I had to take the leap. This is the story of my smoke-filled odyssey through Central Texas.
