Besides being a self proclaimed KC CHIEFS tailgating expert, I proclaim myself to be a BBQ expert as well. When I travel, I make it a point to track down the local BBQ joints, to see whats what.
Memphis, Dallas, St. Louis, KC, New Orleans, all do it different, all do it great.
Mr. Neely of the famous Interstate BBQ in Memphis once told me that the best compliment a customer could give him is if he served them a plate of ribs and they forgot to use the sauce. I couldn’t agree more. (keep reading baby)
As far as KC BBQ on game days, well for me its a tie between Arthur Bryant’s and LC’s. Both are open early on game days, both have the best BBQ in KC, in my humble opinion.
When it comes to atmosphere, Arthur Bryants wins. Great celeb photos on the “wall of fame”, great pick up football on the parking lot, and their sandwiches beat LC by frog hair.
LC’s beats AB’s in the rib department, I actually think they are the best I’ve ever had. A bonus is LC is still alive and well to bark at the meat cutters and cooks, then sit at your table and pass along some fishing stories associated with the mounted specimens that ordain his wall.
You can’t swing a dead possum without hitting a KC BBQ joint , and on regular days whichever you pick is gonna be good.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ADDICTS? WHAT BBQ JOINT DOES GAME DAY FIND YOU AT AND WHY?!?!
