Jim Eddy: Remembering Kansas City’s Beloved Restaurateur
Today, we're bringing back our conversation with our dear friend, the late Jim Eddy. We hope you enjoy his stories of life, love, family, and food as much as we do. Thank you for your legacy, Jim. You've made a lasting impact on this city, and you are deeply missed.

Jim Eddy is a Kansas City second-generation restaurateur and Kansas City native who has seen it all. Take a trip back in time to the food, entertainment, and lifestyle from the 1940s, ‘50’s and 60’s in Kansas City to today. The “Eddy Brothers” became world-famous during the era of the Supper Club Circuit, and Kansas City was right in the middle of the boom.
Eddy’s Supper Club at 13th and Baltimore in KC was hoppin’ in the ‘50’s, hosting some of the biggest names in pop music. Jim Eddy talks through everything from mandated 24/7 bowling alleys during WWII, to a terrible business decision passing on a to-be pop icon, to the KC Chiefs and Popeye’s chicken. Take the wild ride through KC food history with Jim Eddy!
