We welcome you to our Ugly Happy Hour at Blue Bird Bistro!
For over 21 years, Blue Bird Bistro has brought people together around thoughtfully sourced, seasonal dishes—highlighting the talent of local farmers and the richness of Mid-American cuisine. Now, they’re partnering with US for an evening that puts ugly on full display: turning “imperfect” produce into unforgettable small bites.
Join us Tuesday, August 12th from 5:30–8:00 p.m. for a seasonal cocktail and chef crafted small plate made with rescued ingredients—showcasing what’s possible when passionate people and purposeful sourcing come together.
Tickets are $20 and include one featured drink and one bite.
You’ll connect with fellow food lovers, meet changemakers building a stronger local food system, and see how chefs and community partners are turning overlooked produce into something truly special.
Proceeds support Kanbe’s Markets and our work expanding access to fresh, affordable food in neighborhoods across Kansas City—through partnerships rooted in dignity, sustainability, and shared value.
Want to keep the night going? The full Blue Bird menu will be available—so bring your appetite and stay for more.
