The cattle trade brought big business to Kansas City, and a history of barbecue shaped our culture. Now, local butchers are carving out a niche for high quality meats and specialty items, whether you're putting together a charcuterie board or preparing for a neighborhood cook-off.
Kansas City has a long and glorious history with meat, and we don’t just mean burnt ends.
Beginning in 1871, the Kansas City Stockyards brought some of the best livestock to the Midwest, helping to define what quality meat looked like in the U.S. for the next 120 years.
In 1949, the West Bottoms establishment Golden Ox is credited with blessing the world with the Kansas City strip steak, a boneless cut that’s taken from the short loin. Kemper Arena, which hosts the American Royal and their annual World Series of BBQ every year, stands on former stockyard land nearby.

It should be no surprise that Kansas City’s local butchers still carry on that tradition. With a level of experience and meat knowledge that you just can’t find anywhere else, local butchers are your best guides for creating a great meal, whether you’re having a neighborhood barbecue showdown or just cooking for yourself."...
