Kansas City’s most famous food is barbeque—burnt ends, to be more precise. These delicacies are created from the ends of smoked beef briskets. Once removed, they’re placed back in the smoker until they’ve gotten a flavorful char, hence this popular dish’s name. Try them alone or in other popular foods, like macaroni and cheese or poutine. 

In 1915, the city officially adopted the slogan “Heart of America” based on its geographic location within the country. Kansas City is geographically near the center of America, hence being the “heart” of America. The city is also known as “The City of Fountains” for its sheer number of these water features.
