We are excited to welcome to the runway a male stomach cancer survivor and an ovarian cancer survivor. Request for funding for both men and women with any cancer has pulled the BCKC organization to provide funds for services to these patients as well … while providing support for breast cancer will always remain our primary focus, we want to continue to move beyond the bra to provide care to any uninsured cancer patient in the greater Kansas City area. We are very proud to say, all funds raised by Bra Couture KC, stay here to care for our own.

Bio:
Chef and Owner/Operator Ryan Moody brings a hands-on approach to a unique local concept right outside of historic Downtown Shawnee. With a vision of incorporating the original street food of Kansas City (BBQ) alongside Mexican street food. Tex-Mex / BBQ fusion was born from the passion to not be another BBQ or Taco joint that you can find on any corner in any neighborhood. If he’s not smoking meats on his hand made barrel smoker you will find him on the big purple food truck slinging tasty fusion street eats all over the Kansas City Metro area. Fresh quality ingredients not just in the kitchen but behind the bar is what he calls his “secret recipe to success”. Always looking for a way to help out the community while working with local schools and nonprofits, Ryan believes investing in the community is the only way to do business. Starting with just a food truck 6 years ago he has grown to a stand alone brick n’ mortar that is homebase to his ever growing mobile concept. Feel free to stop him and ask about the eclectic décor or the one of a kind tasting street eats as he is very proud of his brand and is always happy to make new friends.

Serving fresh, delicious food, crafted to the highest standards and using the finest ingredients, will always be at the heart of what we do. As led by Chef Eric Rodricks, a twenty-year service industry veteran who has done it all, from tending bar to leading the kitchens in some of Kansas City’s finest dining establishments, our commitment to our food – and our customers, is second to none.
We also hold a great belief in the value of culinary innovation and flexibility. We love to listen to our clients, hear all about their needs and wants and their tweak of vision to better suit theirs, rather than forcing them to conform to what we might think is ‘right’.
Great food brings people together, crosses cultural and personal boundaries and can simply help spread joy. Whatever your catering needs, we are here to meet them, and to exceed your expectations as we do so.
