The American Restaurant

Growing up in Hawaii I never imagined that I’d spend a lot of time in the Midwest. Then, a couple of years ago, I moved to Minnesota with my wife so she could pursue her doctorate. Now, my work takes me around the Midwest area including the Dakotas and Wisconsin. Recently, I also went down for some seminars in Kansas City for a few days. Interestingly enough there are a couple of restaurants in Kansas City that were on my list of places to try one day, so the work trip ended up being the perfect excuse!

Here is the menu I had for dinner at The American Restaurant on October 7, 2013:

Amuse - Smoked salmon
