Mother’s Day at Third Street Social
By Dayle Ringer
This evening was spent with family. These wonderful ladies and
Zach allowed me to share the experience of doing my blog. This mostly means;
Wait! Don’t eat yet! Have to take pictures along of tasting their meal. It was an
excellent time, great laughs, and memories were created. Nina is Mitch’s stepmother,
(or mom he calls her) The softest caring hearted woman that I know. She has meant
so much to me over the past couple of years, she has become a mother to me.
Michaelle, Mitch’s sister, Nina’s daughter; there are really no step(s), we are
just family. She is the most wonderful kindest sister, couldn’t have hand
picked anyone better. Then there is Michaelle’s son, Zach, Mitch’s nephew
(godson). We had a fun time hearing about his Sunday afternoon adventures of
getting the golf cart stuck in pile of manure. I’m extremely lucky to be part
of this wonderful family.
Michaelle the wonderful daughter made the reservations for
the five of us for Third Street Social. I’ve eaten here several times,
everything I had here is excellent. I always order something different each
time. I do highly recommend making a reservation.
Third Street Social is located at 123 SE Third Street in Lee’s
Summit, MO. This is also owned by the dynamite duo Andy Lock and Domhnall
Molloy, they also own the Pearl Tavern, from a previous blog, that I wrote. Just know if you hear of these two owning the restaurant,
it’s legit; off the charts. This is located in the Arnold Hall that is also
listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1946 by Sherwood
Manufacturing, this housed many businesses in the past, before Lock and Molloy
opened Third Street Social. When doing some research on the history, I found
this building sits on the spot where the old Memorial Building used to stand.
This building was made famous from President Harry S Truman where he stood and declared
his candidacy for Eastern Judge of the Jackson County Court.
We started with three different starters, two of our favorite
and one new. We all must been hungry. The first was crispy fried Brussels and
Cauliflower; this comes with jalapeno aioli and a malt vinegar sauce, the
second was Deviled Eggs; cornichon pickles and nueske’s bacon, the third, the
new one for us was Pork Belly Burnt Ends; these have a dry rub and is house
smoked and also charred BBQ with an Alabama Sauce, which Zach was using with his
French fries since it was good together. I imagine it was. I can say there was
only one lonely deviled egg left. That is how good all of them were. Also, we
finally got Mitch to try the brussels sprouts. I mean, they are fried; fried,
who doesn’t like anything fried. Mitch stated they were good; however, I think
this will be the only time he probably will eat them. With the Pork Belly Burnt
Ends, this was served with a few vegetables. I will warn, that carrot tasted sweet,
then wait for it; the fire will kick in.

Nina ordered the Chicken and Spinach Lasagna; this was a classic
garlic bechamel Sauce’ with crispy americano prosciutto with a grilled
baguette. I was able to take a bite. This was creamy heaven to me; I love a lasagna
and it’s a great way to add in the spinach.

Michaelle ordered the Hot Chicken Salad, this looked so
yummy and a very healthy entrée.

Zach ordered chicken strips and fries, the boy
must have worked up an appetite from his earlier adventures since he ate all of
it, and started on a second helping of French fries; before ordering dessert.
Mitch ordered Chicken Fried Beef Tenderloin; this was good
homemade stick to your rib’s meal. A beef tenderloin, with chorizo Verde gravy,
peas and onions served over mashed potatoes.

I ordered the Shrimp and Grits. I was going to order the Fish
and Chips, but they already ran out, it must be that good. This Shrimp and
Grits has wild Argentina Red Shrimp, with Tasso ham and cheese grits. I’m not a
grits fan. These were good; Mitch stated he had better, but me not being a fan
and I ate them is saying something. The shrimp were cooked excellent, I did
have some with bits of shells on them, and they left the tails on. In a dish like
that of how they served it; I think it would be easier to have the shells and
tails fully removed to make eating easier. I didn’t think this was too spicy. I
think it could have used a little more spice, at least for me.

You think after all that food, we didn’t need anything else,
but wait, dessert time. We all tried each other’s and I think all were excellent.
I will have to say, Zach’s was very rich, and he ate most of it.

I’m curious to know if anyone has eaten here and if you did,
did you or someone else try their Fried Fritz Bologna Sandwich? This is thick
cut bologna, pickles, fried egg, Dijon, and American cheese. Let me know if you
do try this. I want to try this so bad, just haven’t yet.
From our family to yours Happy Mother’s Day.
