Apparently, Jasper’s Restaurant was voted best Italian Restaurant in all of Kansas City by Zagat. Even though I personally voted for Fazoli’s, it’s a huge honor for everyone there! Congratulations should go out to 3J, Leonard, Anthony, the host staff, the entire kitchen staff and that other guy, Chef Jasper Mirabile.
Did you really just say you voted for Fazoli’s. Shame on you for even mentioning that name anywhere near Jasper’s Family their food and the rock that sits in the parking lot. FOR SHAME I say to yo sir. FOR SHAME.
Congratulations! A good Italian meal is a joy to behold.
Italian is one of my favorites. Even though I’m not much into pasta I love the tomato-y flavors and the garlic and the… oh, how I could go on.
And I think Italian foods – because of their powerful, bold flavors is one of the few cuisines that you really have to TRY to mess it up.
Let’s see – what would be a great Italian mea?l How ’bout starting with some cold shrimp in a little olive oil, lemon juice and capers. A nice salad with some pecorino cheese and strips of broiled portabello mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes. A quintessential country dish like sweet Italian Sausage and peppers – maybe a few extra grilled veggies rather than the pasta for me. Oh, and a cannoli filled with that signature mascarpone for dessert. Oh, and a nice glass of red to sip along the way. It’s not too fancy – but I think it’d work. *smile*
Adam,
I owe you a cannoli. Shame shame on Mr. Perrin. He was raised better than that. LOL!!!
Seriously, I think he was kidding, he is a good friend and local writer but maybe his true feelings came out and he could not tell a lie.
NO MORE CANNOLI FOR YOU MR. BLOG WELL DONE!!!
Jasper,
I was only half serious in my comment. I will stand by steadfastness of him even putting the two places in the same sentence however I know the great appreciation Chris has for your food and family. I have dined with Chris at your wonderful establishment and each time his eyes light up as if he were a kid in a candy store. Plus someone has to give him a hard time every now and again right?
