Bistro Kids has been serving St. Teresa’s locally raised and garden fresh meals since 2013. According to head chef Scott Brake, the primary influx of their food comes from Hen House. The grocery store receives a variety of locally grown foods that they contribute to Bistro.

“Those tomatoes last week on the BLTs… were fresh-picked here in Kansas City,” Brake said.

Brake mentioned a few different menu items to appear in the near future, including locally made hot dogs with a chili-topping, as well as a Thai curry and veggie dish atop cooked grain, not unlike quinoa or rice. Additionally, stuffed peppers are scheduled to reappear as a hot lunch item.

“[The peppers haven’t] always been the most successful,” Brake said. “But we are going to top them with some parmesan and risotto this time.”
