Description

Food Pedaler is Todd Barlow’s chef-driven American comfort food stall at Parlor KC — the Crossroads food hall at 1707 Locust Street, where Barlow has operated since February 2024. Barlow is a Kansas City metro native and Army Desert Storm veteran who spent his career in KC’s professional restaurant world — Gibson/Robinson, Haddad Restaurant Group, Michael Forbes, Tomfooleries, Metropolis, Shiraz — before founding a catering business in 2021 and eventually landing his first solo concept at Parlor. The name comes from his competitive cycling; the menu comes from a career learning classic American cooking. Signature items include bison meatballs, roasted whole chicken, and rotating seasonal dishes; Tuesday nights are steak night featuring tenderloin from KC Buffalo Co., and Sunday service adds cinnamon rolls and breakfast pizza. Kansas City Magazine covered the Parlor opening; the Crossroads Arts District lists Food Pedaler as a Crossroads business.
