The new book "Iconic Restaurants of Kansas City" takes readers on a journey to discover the roots of Kansas City's favorite eateries such as the Colony Steakhouse, Allen's Drive-In and Smaks.
A city's history can be traced through its restaurants. Sitting at the nation’s crossroads, Kansas City has satisfied the appetites of hungry travelers since it was a western outpost on the Santa Fe Trail.
Whether it's perfectly grilled KC Strip steaks, barbecued burnt ends steaming bowls of chili or fried chicken dinners, generations of families and restaurateurs have turned out delectable dishes that became part of the city’s food heritage.
Andrea Broomfield, author of "Iconic Restaurants of Kansas City," says with all the options and history associated with these restaurants, she had to take into account many different factors when choosing which places were iconic.
