Our team had the pleasure of serving at Ronald McDonald House Kansas City, cooking dinner for families during their stay. It was such a meaningful way to step away from the workday to engage within our community. Thank you to the RMHKC staff for the hospitality and for giving us a tour of the facility. We hope the Longfellow house enjoyed our Chicken Spiedini as much as we enjoyed preparing it!
