Warm pastrami paired with spicy brown mustard, pickles, Swiss cheese and horseradish makes for a classically delicious sandwich. Now put that combination between two pieces of Dutch crunch bread and you’ve got a real *chefs kiss* sandwich. Bay Boy KC serves all of their sandwiches on Dutch crunch bread making them stand out from other sandwich spots in town. In fact, it’s that extra pizzazz that has earned multiple nomination from various local publications for “Best Sandwich” in KC.
Julian and Jake went from childhood friends to co-owners, sharing their love for food with others. They embrace the unintentional “if you know you know” vibes that Bay Boy has, and are proud to call it a hidden gem. Julian and Jake share with Sari the tough battles they faced during the pandemic, and how they are still keeping things fresh and saucy at the shop.
You can find their menu and order online at https://www.bayboykc.com/ or follow them on Instagram at @bayboykc.

While fro-yo is known for its smooth consistency, there was nothing smooth about running a fro-yo business during the pandemic. Isaac Lee Collins, owner of the Kansas City division of Yogurtini, talks about the adjustments his team had to make as the pandemic unfolded.
Isaac became a business owner at age 23. He says he’s driven to make a difference through his entrepreneurial experience. In his first ten years of entrepreneurship, Isaac has owned 7 for profit businesses and 1 nonprofit spanning many industries.
Now he is using that experience to coach others. Isaac started the Streamlined Profit Academy, a training and coaching company helping entrepreneurs get past the “I’m stuck” phase.

For many, the memory of eating caramels involves teeth feeling like they have been glued together or digging sticky caramel out of the back of your mouth. That's one issue you won't have when eating Kansas City Caramels candy. These caramels are soft and chewy that melt away in your mouth almost like chocolate.
Teri, owner of Kansas City Caramels, quickly found her motto and key to success- simplicity. Using six simple ingredients, Teri finds the best quality to make sure each of her candy's are delicious and filled with flavor.
Kanas City Caramels won Gold for Top Luxury Caramel at the International Chocolate Salon for their cherry almond flavor. Some of their other unique flavors are used with locally sourced ingredients such as apple cider from Louisbourg Cider Mill.
You can find a full list of flavors and order caramels at their website, https://kansascitycaramels.com/ or follow on Instagram to see what they are working next at @kansascitycaramels.

They say scent is connected to memories. The Corner Candle Shop, located in the heart from Brookside, has created over 175 different scents to help customers find their perfect match. Celebrating 20 years of business, owner Lori Block and her team have mastered candles that smell like freshly cut grass, dirt, tomato vines, baby lotion, leather, whiskey, fresh baked bread, popcorn and many, many, more.
Every product is made in house using the best oils, lead-free cotton wicks and clean burning soy-blended wax, and handcrafting candles in small batches, so every product meets their high standards.
The Corner Candleshop provides a special service to customers. Once they have burned through their container candles, they can return the used, clean container and the candlemakers will refill it for $2 per ounce. Or, if you have your own heirloom cup or vessel, simply bring it in and fill with your favorite Corner Candleshop scent and take home a gift completely unique that comes straight from the heart. The candles are ready for pickup in about one week and it’s a great way to reuse and recycle.

Our external health is connected to our internal health. When we treat our bodies with love and care, our brains can function better. Dr. Derek and Dr. Maran are dedicated to helping individuals in achieving the optimal mind-body connection.
Presence Chiropractic in Kansas City, MO, handles chiropractic care a little bit differently. Because at least one of their chiropractors specializes in neurology, they understand the brain, how it's wired, and the information it receives plays a significant role in how your body moves, the pain levels it feels, and how it helps your body function from day-to-day, especially while healing from an injury.
Their mission at Presence Chiropractic is to help people embrace the flow of life, discover their innate potential and allow them space to adapt, thrive, and evolve.
