The Brick Kansas City, MO

What kind of city names itself after another state? For that matter what state allows another state's copy of its city to be nicer than its own? Geography aside, the Brick is a bar near the headquarters of The Kansas City Star with art on the walls and stage for live music. They have local craft beers, including a wheat which is excellent on a hot summer day.

I ordered the reuben with a side of sweet potato fries. I guess I am becoming a broken record with those., but they are so yummy.

The sandwich came with marbled rye which seemed a bit doughy and not at all grilled. Fortunately, it wasn't soggy. The corned beef had a nice cooked taste. It had been grilled before the sandwich was assembled.

The reuben could stand to have a bit more cheese. The dressing was an appropriate amount but poorly distributed.

All in all, the sandwich was okay but not wonderful; however, I did have an excellent raspberry lemonade cupcake for dessert.

3 out of 5.
