KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tucked away in Olathe, Kan., is one of local celebrity chef Stretch’s favorite restaurants. The J Bar, inside the Embassy Suites hotel at K-10 and Ridgeview, according to Stretch is a place to brag about. During a recent trip to the restaurant Stretch met up with the executive chef, Eric Carter, and invited him to the FOX 4 morning show to share one of the restaurants signature recipes.
While in Olathe checking out The J Bar, you may want to cruise on over to Lake Olathe. It recently contributed to the town being named one of America’s Best Beach towns.
