PIZZERIA LOCALE X RYE : FOOD FOR A CAUSE



I am a foodie and I am a Mom. So when I got the invite to check out a unique collaboration of two famous Chefs coming together, for a charity benefiting children, I knew I had to be there. Rye, is one of our favorite restaurants in town, and has been featured earlier in my Blog. And we fell in love with Pizzeria Locale, when we sampled their fare at the Foodie Chick Event. Two James Beard award winning chefs, Colby Garrelts(Rye, Blue Stem) and Lachlan Mackinnon Patterson(Pizzeria Locale) decided to bring their unique culinary styles together, for an unique creation.

Their delicious partnership is a part of a fundraiser for Child Protection Center(CPC),which has been serving the Kansas City area, for the last 20 years. The CPC is a child-friendly safe haven for children who are allegedly victims of child abuse, or who have witnessed homicide or extreme violence. As a mother, who is trying her best to explain her daughter, what could possibly be child abuse , almost every day, before she leaves for school, this collaboration rang close to heart.


What exactly is the specialty Pizza ?


Kansas city is after all the barbecue capital of the world, so this collaboration also pays an homage to that. Chef Colby brings his famous Barbecue Sauce, to pair with Chef Lachlan's four ingredient crust.




Its a white pizza, which is one of my favorites. The customary fur ingredient crust, chicken, red onion, garlic oil and the pizza goes into the oven. Baked to perfection its finished off with Rye's signature barbecue sauce. It could not have had a better platform to show off that fabulous barbecue crust. The pizzas are 11 inch personal pizzas and they fill your tummy and your heart.




It pairs very well, with a full bodied Red. Pizzeria Locale has a few wines on tap, and they really were good with their wine pairing suggestions.





This creative collaboration is on till October 10th , at any of the Pizzeria Locations in Kansas City. Both Chefs will be available at the Oak Park Mall location on October 10th, between 5 to 7 pm.



So if you are making plans of eating out , make sure you head to Pizzeria Locale and contribute to the cause. Not to mention that fabulous slice of goodness. I bet you will order yourself another pizza to take home with, once you have worked your way around one.
