What's the difference between Kansas City Strip and New York Strip? We're going to fill you in on a little secret: almost nothing. It’s the bone-in version of a New York Strip. Apparently in the 1930's, restaurants in New York City decided that selling a steak named after Kansas City (where the stockyards and slaughterhouses were located) wasn't fancy enough, so they renamed it. Like all our beef, our strips are dry aged, creating an incredibly flavorful cut.
