The weekly show has eight episodes and it debuts March 9.
Former NFL player Shawn Barber, CEO Chase McAnulty and radio host Nikki Vivas are among the dozens of Kansas City personalities who are hosts and tour guides on the program.
“After sports, Kansas City is best known for its food. With so much to offer, Hit Me With Your Best Spot is a guided tour of some of the best restaurants, entertainment venues and spots that make the city amazing,” said KMBC-KCWE president and general manager Justin Antoniotti. “Whether you have just moved here or you’ve been in Kansas City your entire life, you are going to learn about new places to discover.”
