"This restaurant at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art serves a satisfying brunch and a rotating prix-fixe dinner that’s the real standout. They’re not playing it safe for museum-goers either. When we were there, the menu had grasshoppers, crispy pineapple potatoes, and a chocolate cake with shiitake ice cream that we’re still thinking about. The dining area is sleek and modern, with skylights and windows allowing you to watch tourists taking in the lobby installations. The chef claims the menu is in conversation with the artists, which totally tracks when you’re sipping mezcal and watching locals admire a Mexican artist’s newest installation. We’re still connecting the dots between chicharróns and the somewhat terrifying Picasso and Francis Bacon reproductions lurking in the next room. photo credit: Jack Kapple photo credit: Jack Kapple photo credit: Jack Kapple photo credit: Jack Kapple photo credit: Jack Kapple Pause Unmute" - Ryan Bernsten
