Food Tour Business Set For KC Launch In August

If you are a fan of Kansas City’s different neighborhoods and the food selections they offer then you are in luck starting next month.
KC’s Best Food Tours, which launch Aug. 3, will start by offering three different walking tours at a time, rotating through featured neighborhoods such as the Country Club Plaza, Kansas City Power & Light District, River Market, West 39th Street, Westport, Brookside and possibly 17th & Summit streets.
All tours will be three hours long and visit five restaurants.
Co-founder Jessica Burke said she’s working on hiring tour guides, but the tours will launch with herself and her partner, Carl Werner, as guides.
“We’re both passionate about food and especially locally owned restaurants,” she said.
KC Best also will offer a trolley tour of Kansas City barbecue restaurants. Burke said restaurants have been interested, and some have called her about being featured on the tours.
Tours will cost $50.
A separate food tour effort is launching in Kansas City’s Crossroads Arts District. Rebekah Dykstra will offer walking tours that visit six spots in the district.
