- Funny thing is, I have been to KC on business, several times and I just never really noticed a large Asian population or culture. I do go to Arthur Bryant's BBQ quite a bit when I'm there though. lol. Then again, being from Los Angeles, I guess everywhere else seems lacking in Asian anything. Wonderful lens and thanks for the info.
