Flavors of Asia is BACK ✨ with our special guest @chefamantedomingo featuring @troutastekc repping Cambodia 🇰🇭

Chef Amante is the owner of 3 very popular restaurants in Kansas City: @therussellonmain @nokakansascity & @lechampionkc - so he DEFINITELY knows what’s going on 👏🏼

Trou Taste is at @mademobb EVERY First Friday! The dishes featured were: lemongrass chicken, beef skewers, lemongrass chicken patty, chicken wings, egg rolls, and shrimp rolls! 😋

Thank you so much @mademobb for letting us use the back warehouse to showcase this amazing pop-up 🙌🏼

Grateful to have Kathy Nelson — President & CEO of Visit KC and the Greater Kansas City Sports Commission & Foundation — and George Guastello — President & CEO of Union Station — join us today. The real MVPs.

Kathy, your leadership, vision, and relentless commitment to this city are a major reason the World Cup is in Kansas City. Thank you for everything you continue to pour into Visit KC, the Sports Commission, and our community.

And a special shoutout to George — who absolutely does know that Rome holds the most fountains… he just misheard our question. 😇 @martincityvintage

These young ladies @sloane_mueller1 took the bull by the horns and interviewed @vitapopsoda_usa owner @matusvavercak and I think Kansas City officially stole his heart… or maybe it was the BBQ! 😂🔥

The good news? Matus is coming back to KC, and now he needs to know where to get the BEST ribs in the city!

Megh makes KC look really freaking cool. 🎨

Her studio is packed with bold, colorful pieces inspired by music, sports, Kansas City and pop culture, from Taylor to the Chiefs and beyond. And getting to see the work up close, in the space where she creates it, makes it even better.

Part of KC’s Open Doors! program

Go meet the artist behind the art. 🫶

✨ THIS is what supporting local looks like. ✨

I recently visited Precious Frivolities, an Open Doors participant, and got to experience a space filled with truly one-of-a-kind pieces you simply won’t find anywhere else.

April brought together 5 local artists, designers, and creatives to fill the space with beautifully made, thoughtfully curated pieces — each one bringing its own story, style, and personality to the shop. 🎨🛍️

And honestly, that’s what I love most about shopping local in Kansas City. I couldn’t find ANY of these unique pieces anywhere else because they were created by local talent and brought together right here in our community.

KC has such an incredible creative scene, and I love immersing myself in the artists, makers, designers, and small businesses that make this city so special. ❤️

When you shop local, you’re not just buying something — you’re supporting someone’s creativity, passion, and small business.

📲 Follow along for the good stuff — locally and beyond.
