Kansas City: BBQ, Ice Cream, and Cinnamon Rolls

Kansas City takes pride in every aspect of its culture. This attention to detail, sense of community, and drive for success at a local level and abroad is the very reason Kansas City can sustain such a diverse economy. The diversity of the Kansas City economy is the driving force behind many investors using KC to grow their real estate portfolio. The restaurant industry in Kansas City is an example of this dedication to growth and prosperity. This is why Kansas City cuisine is known all over the world.

When many people think Kansas City they think BBQ, which is no surprise considering our very own Joe’s Kansas City BBQ was named America’s best BBQ restaurant. What they don’t know is that KC has a whole food scene, it is a perfect place for foodies and lovers of sweets. There are gourmet chocolate shops, an array of food trucks, lots of ice cream, and a staple of cinnamon rolls in bakeries and dinners alike. KC cinnamon rolls are good enough to have earned themselves a spot in a Condé Nast Traveler article. Thanks to this article many local businesses got a mention, including Scratch, Corner Café, Heirloom Bakery and Hearth, Rye, and Donut King.

 Another article, by the Kansas City Star, explored the gourmet ice cream being made here. This included shops like Glace and Cirque du Sucre. These shops all have unusual flavors and flavor combinations. Some of these include Goat Cheese Sweet Cherry Cream and Organic Rose Petal with Spanish Saffron (from Glace) and Sweet Pea with Mint and Cucumber Raspberry Swirl (from Cirque du Sucre).Being recognized for BBQ, and now cinnamon rolls and ice cream, is part of what makes Kansas City great.
