The
Green Parrot Inn of Kansas City
was opened in 1929 in a 3-room
farm house at 52nd Street and
State Line Road on the Missouri
side. Over the years, the
building grew to seat 300 and
became known as "the place" for
fried chicken in Kansas City.
Two more Green Parrot Inn
restaurants would open in the
United States, one near St.
Louis and another in
Houston, Texas. Kansas
City's Green Parrot Inn closed
in 1955.

May Dowd shares some of her
favorite recipes collected
during more than thirty years in
the restaurant business.
Many were originated by Mrs.
Dowd, herself. Some have
been handed down in her own
family from one generation to
another; others were given to
her by friends from far and
near. |
