Controlled Burn Ignites New Connections For Kansas Beef

The Kansas Beef Council (KBC) recently participated in Controlled Burn, a first-of-its-kind live-fire cooking fundraiser benefiting BoysGrow, a Kansas City nonprofit that mentors urban youth through agriculture, entrepreneurship and culinary training. The event brought together top Kansas City chefs, community members and BoysGrow participants for an immersive evening centered on food, fire and purpose.

Through its sponsorship, KBC worked to connect beef to Kansas City’s vibrant food scene while highlighting the people, passion and values behind the state’s beef industry. The event served as a platform to build relationships with chefs and community leaders, and also inspired the next generation of culinary professionals to learn more about where and how their food is produced.
