KC's seasonal eats: What's on the menu this fall

Sip & snacks

• 🍺Boulevard Brewing Co. brought back Bob's '47 Oktoberfest, a malty, toasty KC staple since the '90s.
• ☕️Good Karma Coffee pours "Three on a Match," an espresso with oat milk and a spiced house syrup (cardamom, black pepper, allspice).

• 🥟Thai Orchid fries apple wontons that hit the cinnamon-apple sweet spot.

Dinner

• 🍝 Farina serves butternut squash raviolini in brown butter with sage and pine nuts — comfort with finesse.
• 🦌 The Antler Room layers focaccia with sweet potato ricotta and delicata squash, plus fried sage and currants.
• 🥕 Extra Virgin roasts autumn vegetables with ajo blanco and hazelnut dukkah, a shareable that eats like a main.

Sweet finish

• 🍫 André's Confiserie Suisse refreshes the case with salted-maple pralines, spiced apple tortes and pumpkin-pecan macarons.
• 🥧 Rye opens Thanksgiving pie preorders through Nov. 23, including Dutch apple, banana cream, KC MoKan, plus cinnamon rolls from co-owner and James Beard semifinalist Megan Garrelts.

💭 My thought bubble: Fine, fine. I get it! Stop asking. I'll go taste test all of these in the name of journalism.
