Hey, New Yorker, don't underestimate the Kansas City taco
Kansas City has a long tradition of respect and appreciation for the food coverage in the New Yorker magazine. Credit goes to esteemed New Yorker writer Calvin Trillin, whose interests span a wide range, not the least of them being quirky murders. On no subject is he more authoritative than food, however (witness the popular books he wrote dubbed 'The Tummy Trilogy') — especially the food of his hometown: Kansas City, Missouri. Despite his readership among snooty foie gras devotees, Trillin bravely declared Kansas City's seminal barbecue joint, Arthur Bryant's, 'the single best restaurant in the world.' He has had similar praise for the steakburger at Winstead's.
