The Sunflower State gets a bad rap as being somewhat uncultured. Maybe it's that we're landlocked or maybe it's a result of our agricultural heritage or sparse population, but many outsiders think our dining scene is meat and potatoes and not much else. Of course, those of us that love Kansas know nothing could be further from the truth. We have some amazing international restaurants in Kansas, and if you're looking to take your taste buds on a world tour without leaving the Midwest, we think you'll love the spot we're featuring for you today.
