Daniel and I enjoyed an amazing evening in Kansas City last night!
We drove 10 total hours to see Coldplay, SO worth it. The show was fantastic, by far the best concert I’ve been too. Lots of surprises, like an acoustic session in the middle of the audience, giant balls that rotated with projection images, old songs with new twists and new songs all together! I wish I could see Coldplay live every night! What an AMAZING experience!
Before the show, we stopped into a restuarant called Azul. It was wonderful. Everything was fresh, right down to the Bloody Mary, for which the bartender pureéd fresh tomatoes! Presentation on everything but the desert was great. The highlight of the meal was the quesadilla appetizer which was filled with chirizo, sweet potato and goat cheese and was topped with roasted red peppers and flat leaf parsley. I couldn’t believe it when I tasted it. Daniel had a sirloin with fingerling potatoes and chantrells with truffle oil!! No way! I had the Chilean Sea Bass with a pureé of cauliflower on one side and of pumpkin on the other with pumpkin and pomegranate seeds. Everything we had was great on its own and even better together, just as cooking like this should be.
To top it all off, our server was great; causal dress, but he scrapped our crumbs off of the table for us, was polite and chatty. The atmosphere was great too, the lighting was low but the mainly booth seating was back lit by a glowing blue wall making it easy to see. I couldn’t believe we were the only people in the place the entire time! If I’m ever back in Kansas City I will definitely eat at Azul again!
Other than that, we arrived back in Springfield at 6am and I had to be at work at 8:30…3 hours to go!
