The Downtown Dish podcast serves up what’s new, in the works, and on the menu in the re-emerging Downtown dining, shopping, and entertainment scenes.
The Downtown Dish is your virtual opportunity to sit down with Downtown KC chefs, bartenders, baristas, retailers, and artists over lunch each week. It serves up what’s new, in the works, and on the menu in the re-emerging Downtown dining, shopping, and entertainment scenes.
The Downtown Dish will now publish weekly podcasts as a partner of The Pitch Podcast Network, which means you can get the Dish on your favorite podcast platform. Subscribe to our podcast to be notified of new episodes and check out past episodes below.
Thanks to the brilliant local musician, They Call Me Sauce, you now have a soundtrack for your Downtown Kansas City adventures: “Downtown,” the new theme song of the Downtown Dish.

In May 2020, at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Downtown Council, Downtwon Neighborhood Association, KC Streetcar, Lynchpin Ideas, and Katy Schamberger founded the weekly Downtown Dish web series to support our local restaurants and provide a weekly update on the dining scene.
To continue our podcast, we need your help. Please help us invest in the quality and consistency of Downtown Dish programming by contributing a financial gift that will elevate the Downtown Dish into an even more effective vehicle for raising awareness about Downtown restaurants, bars, bakeries, and coffee shops!
