Delicious Diversity

Missouri's cuisine varies due to geographical and cultural differences. St. Louis, a major city, blends French and African American influences due to its location near the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. Signature dishes include Gooey Butter Cake, Toasted Ravioli and St. Louis-style pizza. Kansas City, known as the "BBQ Capital of the World," boasts numerous barbecue restaurants, offering dishes like baby back ribs and beef brisket. To the south of the state lies the Ozarks, which offers traditional cuisine relying on locally sourced ingredients like corn, game, fish, and foraged fruits, resulting in dishes such as cornbread, chicken 'n' dumplings, fried catfish and vinegar pie. |
