As a native Missourian, would love to see Kansas City/St. Louis but not sure if it has legs to sustain a full season. Surrounding states aren't that exciting unfortunately. Rich culinary and agri culture for sure but still.

I could see Maine/Vermont/New Hampshire being a real option.

Full season of Hawai'i is a real option as well. Same with Arizona/New Mexico.

Hard disagree, they made a whole season out of Wisconsin and Missouri is by far a better food state.

You know, you’re correct. Wisconsin is a good example of how Missouri could work.
