Lenexa, is a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri, but is located across the state line in Kansas. The area was settled by truck farmers, mainly from Belgium and Holland, whose main crop at that time was spinach. At one time, the city was the spinach capitol of the world. To find spinach there now, you'll have to go the salad bar - or to the annual spinach festival. My wife and I live in neighboring Overland Park, only a couple of blocks away from Lenexa, and have several favorite places to eat in that city. |

Hi, Frank! Thanks for your page about that place...><>< | WilliamFox Thu Nov 29, 2007 02:32 UTC
Great place to eat! Food is fresh and a good value for my buck. I stop here every time I'm in the neighborhood. The service is top-notch as well as the menu. | Stephen-KarenConn Wed Mar 9, 2005 18:46 UTC
Your restaurant tips are so good they make me hungry - and I just finished lunch. I was just in Crystal City, Texas, and they claim to be the spinach capital of the world, and I think there's another spinach capital in Arkansas. | yooperprof Mon Dec 1, 2003 04:33 UTC
Polish cuisine in Lenexa? Who'd 'a thunk it? I'll have to try out the Holy Land and the Black Dog when I'm back for Christmas! |
