bbq: I would like to plan a trip there to visit a friend, and I always hear about Kansas City BBQ. I'd like to try some. I love ribs. How is Kansas different from other BBQ? What is the best restaurant to eat that is also cheap for the BBQ?|||Let's see, it's mainly about the sauces except in Texas where BBQ is beef - everywhere else it's mainly pork... KC is a sweet tomato based sauce Memphis is about dry rubbed ribs and maybe a vinegar & tomato based sauce Texas sauces have a little more bite to them Western NC - vinegar based with atouch of tomato Eastern NC and Upper SC - vinegar, salt, and red pepper Lower SC - mustard based sauce Alabama - famous for their white sauce Kentucky - tomato, worcherstershire, and bourbon based sauce Florida - sauce with a citrus twist Everywhere else - whatever you like Bill Barbecue Recipes - http://www.bbq-book.com|||Kansas city bbq is more about the sauce rather than the rub on the meat. the cooking technique is the same as all meat in a smoker for many hours. If your not from kc dont go to Gates bbq because they are a very pushy and will rush you. Arthur bryants is very good and one of the originals. A list of good places to go Would be Arthur bryants, Jack Stack, Oklahoma Joes, Famous Daves. i might sound repeative but arthur bryants is the best in town. Hope you have fun in KC when you come here.|||i feel that many places have their significant thing in many diff states. i really dnt know how kc bbq is diff but i do know that it is defiently good.. probley because i was born and raised in kc.. some places you should go to is aurther bryants and gates.. very very good bbq.. you really wont find these two resturants any were else.. n ya arthur bryants is the best..|||KC bbq is served with a tomato based sauce - not as good as the NC vinegar based sauce IMO|||kansas is a native american state
