About Lidia's Kansas City
Executive Chef Dan Swinney traces his love for good cooking to the time he spent on his grandparents' dairy farm in southern Missouri. There he learned the importance of eating seasonally, growing locally and how to utilize everything available on the farm. Nothing ever went to waste.
In 1998 when Lidia and Joseph Bastianich announced plans to open a restaurant in Kansas City–their first outside of New York —Dan was chosen as Chef de Cuisine and was involved in all aspects of the planning and opening of this 165-seat showcase. In 2000 he was promoted to the position of Executive Chef. Now in his 14th year, the restaurant remains one of the top culinary destinations in the Midwest, regularly serving 2500 guests per week.
