"Unforked is a local chain owned by the Sheridan Frozen Custard family, one of the many KC establishments that claim to do the dense dairy dessert best. Unforked is the only place to get a scoop and a $5 Happy Hour margarita, though. Sure, it looks like a stylish, upscale Panera with a dining room covered in Unforked puns—“let the ‘un begin”—but the menu is worth dealing with the corniness. Their green apple slaw-topped KC Hot Birdie is a near-perfect sandwich and would give any Nashville hot chicken a run for its money. Vegans and gluten-free folks will find a lot to love too, like their 100% plant-based, gluten-free burger or crispy avocado tacos. We order their Barking Pig, Tilapia Tango, and Citrus Crunch Chicken tacos and slather them in Horsetooth hot sauce as our go-to hangover cure. photo credit: Jack Kapple photo credit: Jack Kapple photo credit: Jack Kapple photo credit: Jack Kapple Pause Unmute" - Ryan Bernsten
