There's a lot of long weekend highlights I could report about today. Cocktails at Beretta and Elixir, rye whiskey at Whiskey Thieves, the bistro hangar steak and the arista I made yesterday. But I'll have to stop short and reveal that this show is going on the road later this week, as I return to the land of my birth, Kansas City.

Just for a short, family-focused jaunt. But even given the brevity of my trip, I do hope to be looking at something a lot like the picture to my right while I'm there, as often as possible!
