‘Blue buildup' on doughnuts, duct-taped sink: Kansas City area restaurant inspections
Dining establishments like sit-down restaurants, drive-thrus, gas stations and cafeterias are required to get food inspections, and governments have to release those inspections to the public.
In Kansas City, the city's health department enforces the food code while in Kansas, the state's Department of Agriculture handles inspections. The lower the number of violations, the better.
Most restaurants often correct violations at the time of the original inspection or shortly thereafter. The full inspections show how each establishment has corrected or is working to correct any remaining violations.They are available for Kansas City at inspectionsonline.us/foodsafety/mousakansascity/search.htm and agriculture.ks.gov.
Here are the restaurants in Kansas City that received seven or more critical violations from May 4 to 17. During that time, no restaurants in Johnson or Wyandotte counties reached the threshold of seven priority violations.

What Will Powell Reveal About Interest Rate Cuts on August 22? And How Will Markets React?
We're mid-week, and so far, it's been a quieter trading affair. Traders and investors are awaiting the annual Kansas City Federal Reserve Economic Policy Symposium that moves into full swing Thursday in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is expected to give an update on the Fed's monetary policy framework on Friday morning.

The FREE Barchart Brief newsletter keeps you in the know. Sign up now! Powell's speech could give the market a new perspective on how much Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) support there is to lower U.S. interest rates in September. Following are some of the arguments that have been put forth by monetary policy doves (who want lower U.S. interest rates sooner) and hawks (who want no U.S. interest rate cuts anytime soon). Then I'll give you my prediction for Friday's Powell speech. The Dove Case on Interest Rate Cuts The surprisingly weak U.S. employment report for July showed a modest increase in the unemployment rate, rising to 4.2% from 4.1% the previous month. While the headline number showed a small increase, the jobs growth was surprisingly minimal, with only 73,000 jobs added — and there were downward revisions to job gains in the May and June reports. Other major central banks are starting to lower, or leaning toward lowering, their interest rates, including the European Central Bank and the Bank of England. The U.S. Fed does not want to get behind the curve on global central bank monetary policy easing. Recent U.S. inflation reports have been mostly tame. The July Consumer Price Index (CPI) report rose 2.7% annually. That's just slightly above what the Federal Reserve wants to see for annual inflation. The 'Too late Powell' nickname from President Donald Trump gained some credence following the July jobs report. Trump's needling of Powell for not lower U.S. interest rates faster may well have pushed Powell into a more dovish posture, to be revealed at Jackson Hole. The Hawk Case on Interest Rate Cuts The hotter-than-expected July Producer Price Index reading of up 3.1%, year-over-year, raised eyebrows. Most of the recent U.S. economic data has been upbeat, which supports a steady U.S. monetary policy stance. U.S. tariffs are a wild card. While the tariffs have so far not sparked problematic inflation, there is the distinct possibility inflation will fire up in the coming months, as U.S. consumers may have to scramble to buy a shorter supply of goods on store shelves. Also, higher tariffs on imported goods to the U.S. suggest manufacturers and retailers will pass along those increased costs to consumers. Holding steady on U.S. monetary policy and not lowering interest rates is bullish for the U.S. dollar. How I See Powell Leaning Friday and the Resulting Impacts on Markets I don't think anyone has a solid read on what Powell will say at Jackson Hole on Friday. That means markets are a little more anxious — not knowing what to expect. My best guess is that Powell leans a bit easier on U.S. monetary policy, mainly due to the surprisingly weaker U.S. jobs data in July. Also, Trump's pressure on Powell to lower rates has likely impacted Powell's thinking, especially after the weak July jobs data. And if Powell does lean easy, commodity markets, including the metals, energies, grains, livestock and softs, would be supported. The U.S. dollar index would likely be pressured, and the Euro currency would rally. U.S. stock indexes would also rally, probably to new record highs since they are already close to record highs. U.S. Treasuries would also see price rallies (lower yields). We'll see what happens Friday. Tell me what you think. I really enjoy getting emails from my valued Barchart readers all over the world.

Powell would have to move goal posts for a Sept. Fed rate cut
Investors are watching for any signs that the Federal Reserve will cut rates during Fed Chair Jerome Powell's Friday speech at the Kansas City Federal Reserve's annual Economic Symposium. BNP Paribas head of Americas' macro strategy and US economics, Calvin Tse, joins Market Domination with Josh Lipton and Barron's senior market analysis writer Paul La Monica to discuss his expectations for Powell's comments and for the Fed. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination. Well, pressure coming down on the Fed for policy changes. Expectations point towards a Fed rate cut in September, while President Trump continues to call for a big cut to rates. However, while markets look for a glimpse of a dovish tone from Fed Chair Powell, our next guest believes the Fed should remain on hold for the remainder of the year. Calvin C, BNP Paribas head of America's macro strategy and US economics, joins us now to discuss. Calvin, it's good to see you. Let's start, Calvin, with what we expect tomorrow. We're very wound up, Calvin, about tomorrow. I don't know if you've noticed, all eyes on J. Powell, Jackson Hole. What kind of J. Powell are we going to see? Wait, is it is it neutral J? Is it dovish J? Do we get a hawkish J? What do you think? Well, that's a million dollar question. We have been amongst the most hawkish banks on the street, calling for the Fed to remain on hold ever since December of 2024. That's been a challenging call to hold, especially as we've just mentioned, the markets have been really sticky on pricing in September at an extraordinarily high probability for a cut. Go ahead, come on. J. Powell has told us, however, that he has a very clear reaction function, and the two things that he looks at is the year-over-year rate of PC inflation and the unemployment rate. Based on that reaction function, the Fed should not be cutting rates in September. Therefore, what I think is the most important thing to be watching out for tomorrow morning is whether or not J. Powell shifts that reaction function. If he stands pat, which is our base case, continuing to highlight that the labor market still remains tight, given the unemployment rate, we think that a lot of that cut pricing can come out of the curve and push interest rates higher. If he stands pat, Calvin, your base case, how does the market respond? We think it will respond in a couple of ways. The first is we're probably going to see that September probabilities come down from those about 75% chance right now to maybe somewhere closer to 50/50. And what we think was also going to happen is that the yield curve is probably going to flatten quite significantly as well, as the front end rises relative to the back end. All right, Calvin. Uh, Paul, Calvin says stand pat, base case. What do you think? Yeah, I mean, it's obviously going to be data dependent to use that sort of trite saying, and we have, you know, some jobs numbers, some more inflation data that will be coming. The thing that I'm really struck by is that we talk a lot about hawks and doves. To use another bird analogy, Jerome Powell, as we all know, is a lame duck. He's not going to be the Fed chair for a third time. President Trump is going to nominate someone else, potentially sooner rather than later. So I think the big question is, if Powell is trying to cement his legacy, how cognizant is he going to remain of last year's arguable mistake in cutting rates aggressively because they were worried about some of the data? And then it turned out that inflation, kind of like, you know, the the, uh, guy in Monty Python who's saying, "I'm not dead, I'm not dead." Uh, it still is something that they have to worry about. So I do think that there's a chance Powell sounds a little bit more hawkish, and we can't cement that September rate cut just yet. It's going to be about the data, I think, more importantly, than anything Powell has to say tomorrow.
