It’s time we got KC involved in Meat Week

Until yesterday, I never even knew that Meat Week existed. And I call myself a carnivore. But Meat Week is very real. That’s why the domain name is meatweekisreal.com. The annual celebration of meat runs from January 31 to February 6 and, just like Fight Club, has spread under the radar to 15 cities in six years.

Founders Chris Cantey and Erni Walker decided that Meat Week “would be a holiday during which BBQ was eaten every night of the week.” And so the status quo in Kansas City is slowly steamrolling into a national celebration. I think it’s time we got involved.
