APRIL THROUGH OCTOBER

Maybe it has something to do with the barbeque. But whatever the reason, Royals fans in Kansas City love to eat—and eat good—before their hometown baseball team gets up to bat. With some tailgaters showing up hours in advance of the game with their grills, the air is soon filled with aromas of brisket, sausages, and even vegetables. And yes, some of those vegetables are wrapped in bacon, but that’s okay.

In a city that loves sports as much as Kansas City, baseball season runs right into football season so the grills and chafing dishes don’t get time much to rest. The clothes just get warmer and the games move from nighttime to daytime.
