Your post reminded me of an article in the Readers Digest. "The Best Sandwiches in every state:

Bierocks, dough balls stuffed with cabbage, onions, and seasoned meat.

This article might also offer some suggestions:

BBQ Ribs, Chili and Cinnamon Rolls, Barbecue Hot Wings, Chicken Fried Steak, The Z-Man Sandwich, Pie, Fried Chicken, Pot Roast, Brown Bread Frozen Custard, and BLT, just to name a few.

That sounds like good eating to me!

Thank you Anne. I wanted to bring some iconic KC dish to a potluck on February 12, 2023. The selections in the general Google search were pretty general. I even looked up old cookbooks from the 1800's to find something unusual and authentically KC. Nothing stood out as a KC specialty. I ended up making red beans and rice.
One site that impressed me quite a bit is called, The Kansas Farm Food Connection. The recipes come from the heartland and include Bierocks as you suggested.

I hope the potluck turned out well.

The only way I like beans is "Red beans and rice".

One of my memorable trips was to Kansas City, I just don't remember if that was to Kansas City, Kansas, or Kansas City, Missouri.

This trip also introduced me to cellars as Texas does not have them. Or they are very rare.  And this was my first time taking a trip on a plane.

Wonderful memories of KC, Kansas & Missouri, Anne. I share all of them with you!
The party was exciting, stressful, lots of yelling, and in the end, half of the guests were really happy.

Super Bowl?
