These 11 Iconic Foods In Kansas Will Have Your Mouth Watering

Let’s face it: Wherever you go in Kansas, you are guaranteed to find a great meal. But, you may find yourself asking, "what food is Kansas known for?" or even "which foods are the most 'Kansas' of all the foods?" If you ask us, we find the following 11 Kansas foods to be the most iconic in the Sunflower State:

1. BBQ

Contrary to popular belief, part of Kansas City actually does reside in Kansas ... crazy, huh?!

2. Bierocks

We can thank our German ancestors for these delicious pockets of hamburger and cabbage.

3. Grebble

Deep-fried bread = yum!

4. Lefse

Are you noticing a pattern with these European foods?

5. Loose meat sandwich

It tastes better than it looks — trust me. (Think Sloppy Joe without the Sloppy.)

6. Sour cream and raisin pie

My Grandma Velora (who was born and raised in Kansas) made the BEST sour cream pies.

7. Pork

In my best Bubba (from "Forrest Gump") voice: There's pork tenderloin, pulled pork, pork chops, pork roast ...

8. Steak

Let's just say that there's more to Kansas than just our golden fields of wheat.

9. Burgers

See: Steak.

10. Fried chicken

With incredible fried chicken restaurants in almost every town, this selection shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

11. Potatoes

What can we say? We're a meat and potatoes kind of state! Mashed, baked, roasted — we love them all!
