Great American Railroad Journeys: 2x4
Kansas City to St Joseph, Missouri
On the next leg of his American adventure, Michael Portillo hits cowboy central in the former meat-packing capital of America – Kansas City, Missouri. In Paola, Kansas, Michael auctions livestock to the latter-day John Waynes of the state and then dines out on smoky spare ribs.
In the West Bottoms district, he explores the city’s Irish heritage and discovers the first Irish business opened in America, still family- owned and run by the great granddaughter of the founder. In St Joseph, Missouri, Michael discovers the legendary Pony Express, not a train but a mail service, and investigates the treacherous death of the outlaw Jesse James.
