Steve Gaudreau, owner of Dempsey’s Burger Pub locations in Lawrence and two other cities, recently completed a deal that will bring the restaurant concept to Westport in Kansas City.  Burgers are made with 100-percent chuck. They’re cooked on a flat griddle versus charcoal grill so the meat cooks in its own juices.  4120 Pennsylvania
