Since the cattle rustling days of yore, steak has always been an important part of the culinary traditions of Kansas City. We even have a baseball team named The T-Bones. Whether it’s top sirloin, filet mignon, or a big bone-in ribeye, premium cuts matter a lot to this city. With so many varieties and types and restaurants to choose from, where should you go when you want both the sizzle and the steak?
On Friday’s edition of Central Standard, Charles Ferruzza and fellow Food Critics Mary Bloch, Chris Becicka, and Emily Farris chew the fat and guide you to the best steaks around town.
