THE INSIDER TIPS NO ONE ELSE TELLS YOU There are things about Kansas City that no map can show you. Show Me KC includes a full guide to the things that trip up first-time visitors: that KC BBQ is a specific slow-smoked style with a distinctive sweet-and-smoky sauce; that "burnt ends" are the prize, not the scraps; that the city spans two states and locals measure distance in minutes, not miles; and that cannabis is legal in Missouri but not across the state line in Kansas. Eight categories of local knowledge, written like advice from a friend who lives here.
