We chatted with four of the best-known chefs in Overland Park to dish about all things food in Overland Park. With so many dining options, Overland Park is quickly becoming a culinary hub in our region. So we had to ask:

As a chef, where do you go for the best meal in town?

 

Rob Magee – Founder and Executive Chef of Q39

"We’ve enjoyed outstanding celebrations at J. Gilbert's. From family birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations we love the outstanding food and great service.  My favorite meal is the seared sea scallops with lobster risotto. Fresh and light and loaded with flavor."

Chris Rohde – Executive chef of The Brass Onion

"Besides everything at The Brass Onion?! 😊 Q39 has a new Pork Belly Sandwich that is seriously life changing. The smokiness of pork belly is only enhanced by the decadence of the meat. It is so rich and paired perfectly with the buttery brioche. The herb aioli brings a touch of freshness to brighten everything up."
