The Best Barbecue and Brewery Pairings in Kansas City, MO - AFAR
"Founded as a food cart in 1908 and converted to a brick-and-mortar “eat shop” in 1910, this city’s first official barbecue restaurant played a central role in popularizing KC burnt ends—charred scraps cut from the point of smoked brisket that went from free counter fare to a sought-after delicacy after a 1972 Calvin Trillin profile. Visitors are advised to arrive before 11 a.m. to avoid selling out of burnt ends; if they miss them, the saucy baby back ribs are another classic option." - Pete Dulin
