Kansas City's Top 100 Restaurants

We're going to Blue Nile Cafe (an Ethiopian restaurant) for my birthday dinner tonight and I was looking on their website to get their phone number to make a reservation. On their website was a link to this, Kansas City's Top 100 Restaurants:

I was curious so I looked through the list and was surprised to see that I've only eaten at 7 of the 100 restaurants listed:

Blue Nile
Blue Koi
Fritz's
Garozzo's
Manny's
Nick & Jake's
Thai Place

All of the above places had great food, except for Fritz's...which was very so-so. However, I'm guessing they made the list, not because of their food, but because of the experience. It's a fun place for kids, so I suppose it can be on the list. Nick & Jake's I was just a little surprised at. I've only been there once. I liked the food there, but I didn't necessarily think it was Top 100 quality. Perhaps I need to go again...

There were a few places on the list that I've been to, but haven't eaten at: Tom Fooleries, Reverse, Classic Cup Cafe, Blanc, and Jerusalem Cafe. I've been to both Tom Fooleries and Reverse a handful of times to drink, but I've never ordered food there. I went to a wine tasting in the basement of the Classic Cup Cafe, so I've been in the building, but I hardly think that counts. James and I went to Blanc once in Leawood, thinking it was Blue Koi (which was right next door). Luckily we figured it out before we were seated. And I ALMOST ate at Jerusalem Cafe the day of Crawl for Cancer. Courtney and I and a bunch of other people went in there to eat but they wouldn't split our checks, so we walked out.

There were a handful of places on the list that I've heard great things about, but I've never been to. I'm going to do my best to make it happen: La Bodega, JP Wine Bar, Gate's, Hereford House.
