Pizza. Edamame dip. BBQ mushroom tacos. New plant-based restaurant for Johnson County

A locally owned meal subscription service is opening a restaurant in Leawood’s Town Center Plaza.

Whole Harvest Kitchen plans to open this summer, at 4853 W. 117th St., serving “whole food, plant-based” meals.

“For people eating this way, they don’t have a lot of options. There are a lot of places that say they are healthy but they use a lot of sodium and a lot of oil,” said Eric Turner, chief operating officer of Whole Harvest LLC. “That’s the shortcut way of doing it. But we are all about making sure it is healthy and delicious.”

Menu items will include zucchini bread, seasonal soup, loaded sweet potatoes, lentil pancakes, Cowboy Caviar (with heirloom legumes, tomato, roasted corn, bell pepper, avocado and lime), edamame dip, smokey carrots (dukkah crunch, chive dip and house vinaigrette), salads, noodles and dumplings.

Entrees will come with a choice of roasted yam hash or salad. They will include barbecue mushroom tacos, spinach lasagna marinara, blackened tofu wraps, and pizzas such as Exotic Mushroom (with roasted garlic sauce, caramelized shallot, fig and herbs).

Desserts will include a chocolate almond cake and chocolate date truffles.
