This was on the Kansas City Star Website at 6pm this evening.

Alot of us knew something had happened yesterday

Lauren Chapin, The Star’s restaurant critic for the last eight years, died Wednesday at St. Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City.

This is a very very sad day the Kansas City restaurant community. We have lost a very good friend and supporter of those of us who live and breathe food. She will be greatly missed. Peace to her family. :sad:

Wow - I had heard of her demise, then heard it was a false report so I stopped looking for news on kansascity.com.

I won't try to pretend I was a fan or in agreement with her (too many postings to the contrary) but certainly sad to see her untimely demise. And my sympathies to her daughters and to Tim.

Agree with her or not, she was a Missouri farm girl, well-traveled and a great supporter of the locals. She will be missed. I spent two days lamenting her loss; a day grateful that the news was errant, and now this. Perhaps a memorial fund at Broadmoor would be in order.

Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly.

I echo moosnsqrl's sentiments - word-for-word. If you haven't already, do take time to read the article about her in the Kansas City Star today.
