Welcome to The Pitch's Best of Kansas City 2023 issue. The people of KC cast 679,500 votes in 505 categories, selecting their favorite people, restaurants, creators, businesses, and places to just get weird.
Does this magazine include every local hero and all that they did? Absolutely not. Is this the definitive list of the only people and businesses that are making a difference? Absolutely not. Is this a parade that we get to throw to celebrate the hard work and unyielding dedication of more people than there is space for naming them? Absolutely yes.
