The Peddler of Good Food: Pedaling Flavor with Purpose
The Parlor | Kansas City
At The Parlor—where kitchens unite and cultures collide—
we found a fresh trail: The Peddler of Good Food, led by Todd Barlow,
a chef who blends cycling spirit with culinary art.
Dishes that spoke:
• The Frittata — well-crafted, flavorful, crowned with spring mix and tender asparagus.
• The Veggie Panini — fresh, vibrant, and light on the stomach but heavy on satisfaction.
Even with a bread change due to popular demand, the flavor still rolled strong.
If I could dream a little:
A touch of Todd’s pickled red onions from the panini would’ve made the frittata next level.
(Not his model, but hey—just a Suggestion.)
Environment:
Relaxed. Comfortable.
Great seating, Lakers vs. Timberwolves on the big screen,
and the right kind of atmosphere to savor a meal before catching a flight back to Dallas.
Ratings:
• Food: 8.5/10 (fresh, thoughtful, flavorful)
• Atmosphere: 9/10 (creative and chill)
• Service: 8.5/10 (felt like family)
• Creativity: 9/10 (unique concept tying cycling to cuisine)
Final word:
The Peddler has momentum. The Parlor is the perfect avenue for it to thrive.
Already excited to see what’s new when we roll back through KC for Memorial Weekend.
Coach Mike — signing off with full heart, full plate, and full gratitude.
Food. Family. Fellowship. Flavor. Follow the journey!
