Guy Fieri to open new concept in Power & Light District

Celebrity chef, restaurateur and TV personality Guy Fieri is bringing a bar and taco restaurant concept to Kansas City's Power & Light District next year.

In a statement, Fieri said, “Kansas City has always been one of my favorite cities … the people, the food, the culture. Let me just put it this way: If you like to party. And you like tacos. This is gonna be your kinda dive!”

According to the Kansas City Star, he has visited the Kansas City area often and featured several local restaurant owners on his Food Network show “Diners, DriveIns and Dives.”

Details of his new venture were scarce, but a later Kansas City Star report identified the planned location as the former Cleaver & Cork space.
