The ICMA Host Committee invites you to visit the Greater Kansas City Region, for the 102nd Annual Conference, September 25-28, 2016. Why Kansas City? Because Kansas City Barbecue is Smokin’!!!
Legend has it that Kansas City barbecue began in the early 1900s in an old trolley barn at 19th and Highland. A fellow named Henry Perry created an aroma that attracted daily crowds to the back of that barn, where he slow-smoked ribs and sold them, wrapped in newspaper, for 25-cents a slab. Kansas Citians couldn’t get enough of it!
The beauty of Kansas City barbecue is that you can ask ten different people to define Kansas City barbecue and you get ten different answers – that are all correct. That’s because in the nearly 100 barbecue joints smoking in Kansas City, there is a melding of flavors and styles from across the country that result in award-winning, mouth-watering, tummy-stuffing flavors that defy conventional adjectives.
So join us in Kansas City in September for some smokin’ world-famous barbecue! Make a note of the following “can’t miss” barbecue joints suggested by VisitKC:
