Jerusalem Cafe

About a decade ago I used to make the trip from Texas to Kansas City pretty frequently to see my sweetheart. It was about a 9 hour drive in a little pickup. Usually I had black lab laying in the bed of the truck. He'd put his head through the back window and lick me on the ear to keep me awake. I'd roll in to my sweetheart's place in the middle of the night and try to look as cheery as you can after a 600 mile drive.

One of our favorite places to eat back then was the Jerusalem Cafe. The Jerusalem Cafe was the first place I ever tried hummus. I still think it has the best hummus I ever tried. As the years went by I eventually moved to KC. The Jesuralem Cafe stayed one of our favorite haunts. Eventually kids came around and we ate there less and less. My son Kai doesn't take much to strange foods, he's more of a hamburger and hot dog boy. My little girl Zoe likes the food, but just can't seem to keep still.

Well things change and sweetheart's don't always stay together. Anyway, tonight I ate alone at the Jerusalem Cafe. It was the first time I had been there in years. I'm happy to say the food was still as good as I remember. The service was a little slow, but the staff was friendly and I wasn't in a hurry. I decided to skip the hummus this time and just have a falafel sandwich. It tasted just like it did back in the day.

So if your in the mood for a good gyro, falafel or hummus, then give the Jerusalem Cafe a try. It's located in Westport at 431 Westport Rd.
