Pearl's Southern Comfort

For owner Danny Beck, southern fare isn’t exclusively marked by bold bayou, creole, or slow-smoked barbecue flavors. It’s peppered with family, friends, a sense of belonging, and nostalgia. Sinking his teeth into a perfectly fried piece of okra transports Beck back to his southeastern Kansas roots beside his great grandmother, Pearl—the namesake of his welcoming bar and eatery, Pearl’s Southern Comfort.
