Barbecue, barbecue, barbecue. Ask any foodie worth their salt and they'll tell you Kansas City is THE place for lip-smacking BBQ.
Headquarters to four Fortune 500 companies (Sprint Nextel Corporation, H&R Block, Embarq Corporation, and YRC Worldwide Inc.) and numerous Fortune 1000s, Kansas's largest metro area is famous for its jazz and blues, as well as to cuisine (i.e. the incredible Kansas City-style barbecue).
Officially known as the "City of Fountains" (and unofficially as "The BBQ Capital of the World") Kansas City boasts more than 200 fountains, the second most in the world, just behind Rome. The fountains at Kauffman Stadium, commissioned by original Kansas City Royals owner Ewing Kauffman, are the largest privately funded fountains in the world. Plus, KC has more boulevards than any city except Paris. In fact, it's been called "Paris of the Plains."
Oh, and we did mention the incredible BBQ, right?
