This isn’t a new restaurant or food service, rather a new location that allows Chef’s Crate to operate more hours, serving “vintage” western Kansas cuisine to anyone who wants to come pick them up. This is a restaurant of sorts, but one that leaves the cooking to you. Will you be picking up a sample platter or a week’s plate on your visit?
