Featured Restaurant

Several years ago one of La Bodega's owners, James Taylor, paid an extended visit to Spain and returned to KC with a 150 page notebook gleaned from the traditional recipes he enjoyed in the homes of local families.  La Bodega [in both locations] offers many of these recipes as part of their fare and also introduced the Spanish tapas [shared small plate] concept.  The Crossroads and Leawood locations share the same core menu but each has its own executive chef  tailoring their menu to reflect the tastes and comfort zones of their guests.


Featured Recipe
Paella Valenciana
6 oz Bomba Rice or Calasparra Rice
3 Cups Hot Water
1 pinch Saffron
4 oz Diced Chicken Breast
2 oz Bilbao Chorizo, Sliced
2 oz Soffritto (Equal parts sautéed Yellow, Green, Red Bell Pepper and Yellow Onion)
