Featured Restaurant
JOHNNY CASCONE
 
Over the years we've introduced you to members of the KC Originals family of restaurants, chefs and owners, and this month we ring in the New Year  profiling another 3rd generation member of the Cascone family who owns and manages one of the most successful Italian eateries in Overland Park, Johnny Cascone's.  This popular venue has been operating for almost 30 years on 91st St., just east of Metcalf, and Johnny has been in charge for the last 4 years.  Like most of the Cascone youngsters, Johnny understands the business from the ground up, learning everything at the hands of his grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles.  Traditions and knowledge are passed down with love and respect for the Cascone brand.  Back of the house in the kitchen and out front with the public Johnny has it down cold and stands steadfastly behind the family mantra - "our family serves your family."
