Broadmoor Bistro is the restaurant run by the culinary students at Shawnee Mission South high school.
Every Wednesday night during the school year, they offer a 5-course dinner for $35 that is AMAZING! It would cost you twice that price at a regular restaurant.
It's served by the students, and they will even take you on a tour of the back of house if you ask.
They have a pastry case full of muffins and cinnamon rolls where you can take home goodies on a "pay what your heart desires" basis--of course, people always overpay since it's for a good cause.
They also have an incredible chef series where touring chefs come in and have a handpicked event to support the school. It includes passed apps, and 5 courses. The chefs are always noteworthy and usually James Beard award winners. It's usually a little pricier, but still in the $40-$45 range. Worth every penny. Just check out their calendar for dates since it is NOT on a Wednesday night.
Reservations are required. Bon Appetit!
