The 15 Best Kansas City BBQ Restaurants | Eater

"All of the action happens right under your nose at this classic counter-service restaurant, where cooks shuffle whole briskets, racks of ribs, and hams around a three-tiered pit lacquered jet-black with grease. Although founder LC Richardson died in 2021, his granddaughter, Tausha Hammett, runs the restaurant now and has kept the recipes (and that original three-tiered pit) in place. Stick with the classics: burnt ends, brisket, and ribs. Like a few other old-school Kansas City joints, LC’s lets you order your ribs from the “short end” or “long end” (the long-end ribs tend to be better rendered)." - Liz Cook
