Heidi Gardner, the longest-tenured female cast member on Saturday Night Live, expresses her deep love for her hometown of Kansas City, describing it as her 'comfort place.' In an interview, she notes a positive shift in perception of the city, which was once regarded as a 'stop-over town,' now becoming a sought-after destination. Gardner enthusiastically highlights the local barbecue scene, offering specific restaurant recommendations and represents Kansas City with pride, especially as she participates in SNL's 50th-anniversary celebrations.
Kansas City is like a hug - it is like my comfort place... I feel like myself when I'm here.
People are starting to realize there's so much more here, and it's turning into a destination spot, which feels really good.
For burnt ends, my top pick is LC's Bar-B-Q... I go to Arthur Bryant's Barbeque for its ribs.
First-time visitors should head to River Market, which is a cool open-air market with lots of vendors.
