The Journey Begins: Kansas City BBQ is legendary, known for its slow-smoked meats, rich flavors, and signature sauces. As Andrew and Nicola embark on this culinary adventure, they're eager to see how Kansas BBQ stacks up against the other American delicacies they've tried. From ribs and burnt ends to pulled pork, this episode promises a feast for the senses and a true taste of American BBQ.
Restaurant Highlights:
1. Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que: www.joeskc.com/ Our first stop is Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que, an institution in the world of BBQ. Located in a former gas station, Joe's has been serving up award-winning BBQ since 1996. Known for their succulent ribs and mouthwatering burnt ends, Joe's has a reputation for delivering some of the best BBQ in the country. Their signature Z-Man sandwich draws in the crowds but will The Brits Try approve! Will Andrew and Nicola be able to handle the flavorful explosion of Joe's signature dishes?

LC's has been serving up smoky, tender meats for decades, and their BBQ pork ribs are a must-try. Andrew and Nicola will dive into a plate of LC's famous ribs and pulled pork, experiencing the authentic taste of Kansas City BBQ.

Kansas City is incredibly underrated. Great and beautiful city.
The bbq was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed Kansas City. 😀
I agree.
Don't tell no one😂
Don't tell no one😂
We like to keep it that way! Thanks for the nice comment about our city.
One great thing about Kansas City is that there are hundreds of individual BBQ places where one person is just cranking out their own special brand of BBQ. It's fun to go check out the Mom & Pop places.
If we had more time we would have loved to have checked out more places. Well it gives is a great reason to go back!
That's a great point. Sometimes a place will be the best for potato salad, another place will have great pecan pie or any other specialty.
And once a year they have the American Royal BBQ Event. Look that up, it’s a foodies heaven on earth.
Yes this is true. I always said one every mile. Might be a shack might be a brick building but we ❤ barbaque baby. 60 plus years I know
@@thebritstryyour welcome please try author Bryant's
KC native here. I loved this video for giving KC some love (BTW, Joe's was the only place you went that was in KANSAS... the others were in Missouri), but for anyone to judge "KC style" BBQ, you've got to start with the two granddaddies of the local scene: Arthur Bryant's and Gates & Sons. Next, another longtime local heavy-hitter is Fiorella's Jack Stack (formerly Smoke Stack). After those Big Three, there are many, many small stalwart mom-and-pop's as well as shiny newcomers and chef-inspired boutique BBQ joints. Everyone in town has THEIR favorite that they say is THE best. Slap's is definitely a good one among the newcomers, and Joe's KC (it will still always be Oklahoma Joe's to me...) is surely a local biggie as well. Many of these places (including Joe's) were prize-winning competition BBQ teams that decided to go into business. I'm 55, and I'm still finding BBQ places that I didn't know about! (For the record: Gate's is my personal favorite.)
Yeah, but Joe's is like 12 feet over the state line.
Gates is great when the building isnt on fire lmao. I have been wanting to try Slaps. Have you tried Woodyard in Merriam, and Johnnys in Olathe?
rite. I like LC's, Dickeys, Jack stacks And arthur Bryant
LCs is the best in KC, hands down, the burnt ends are best in the world. I'm also native and would skip any place for LCs.
lol, Arthur Bryant’s, Gates, and Jack stack have been overtaken long ago. Those are literally the worst now
I’m from Memphis, raised a few minutes south in northwest Mississippi, but moved to Kansas City almost 2 years ago. Slaps in Kansas City, Kansas is our favorite BBQ in the area. I love my Memphis style dry ribs but the ribs I had at Slaps are possibly the best I’ve ever had
Thanks for the recommendation! Next time we will give Slaps a try! Thank you for watching
I'll 2nd that...Slaps is the shiznit🔥...but you have to go early...they only make so much meat per day and close shop when sold out, which is every day
Yes agree. See slaps is the new champion of kansas City barbaque. Hands down❤❤❤❤❤
Check out my buddy’s spot, holy smokes bbq. Best sausage in kck
I was scrolling thru to see if slaps was mentioned. It’s very good and tied with Gates for my favorite, Wabash in Excelsior Springs, Mo (about 20-25min east of KC) is a goto also
I live about an hour from KC and have been a KC BBQ Society Judge several times. This vid is a VERY accurate portrayal of the KC style, from the texture to sauce to sweetness. Well done!
Wow!! Thank you so much! your comment has made our day!
@@thebritstry Enjoy your channel. Be well!
I live half an hour away from KC!!!
As a KC native, it's not often a KC native gives this kind of praise. Good job Brits!
So glad to see you tubers try all kinds of BBQ not just Texas beef. Love this couple! ❤️💛🏹
Thank you very much for the comment! We're excited to keep trying new BBQ styles for you all! Let us know if you have any suggestions for us!
@@thebritstry Memphis dry rub and East TN BBQ ( it’s a Memphis a bit Carolina)! For me born and raised in East TN it’s all about pork! ❤️
HEY! I was the guy behind the counter at Best Buy!!! So happy you enjoyed my recommendation! Come back for more BBQ sometime!
Good job repping 🎉😊❤
OMG!!!!!! That has made our day.... Your recommendation was right, thank you for checking out the video
You 2 have the best job in the world. I'm so jealous. I love KC BBQ.
We are very grateful to get to do this, thank you for watching! KC bbq is great!🤗
Jealousy is a BITCH trait
I've told people that British baked beans are closer to our pork & beans than our baked beans. For one thing our baked beans tend to have a thicker sauce because of the added brown sugar and molasses or maple syrup that is cooked diwn till it thickens up.
Exactly this. Slow baking them concentrates the flavor. What you put on toast looks like our pork and beans.
See, this is exactly what I bring up when people go "Nothing beats Texas BBQ, nothing" and I go "All BBQ is good, stop arguing over nothing!" lol Even garbage BBQ is good (well not when it's dry obviously) and there are so many styles around the US and so, so many places now that just serve amazing food. Glad you guys went to KC though, they are easily one of the best BBQ cities in the US.
Also, nearly 20K subs guys! I still remember when you had about 1.5K when I found you all those decades ago :D Keep it up you two, I'm glad you are having such a great time with the food and travel - but please don't burn out and enjoy yourselves :)
You're absolutely right! BBQ is a universal love language that shouldn't be argued over. Each style has its own charm and flavor. Thank you for watching
I grew up in the KC area and I totally agree with you, good BBQ is just good BBQ no matter where you're at. However my brother in law is a chef and does BBQ competitions and he says the battles and heat between Texas and KC are real real and real deep
@@KairiPrime Oh the competition stuff is intense as hell for sure. I went to a competition (and next door was a chili cook off, and boy did I have a good time there lol) about 15 years ago - and they play for keeps man. They don't play around with BBQ that's for sure lol
KC style is my favorite, but don't get between me and a Texas style sliced brisket sammich with pickles, onion and Texas toast.
Big difference between Texas style and KC is Texas BBQ is pretty much centered around beef, with a definite German influence while KC will cook EVERYTHING, beef. pork, chicken, sausage, turkey, raccoon, woodchuck, Opossum, snapping turtle, etc. Don't believe me? Go look up some of Henry Perry's (Father of KC BBQ) ads from back in the day.
My personal favorite will always be the Carolina Low Country BBQ (pork hash served with rice, gold sauce, and sweet tea), but I'm biased since that's what I grew up with. I've lived in KC for the past 26 years and even as much as I love that Carolina BBQ, you're never going to see me complain about good KC BBQ. Memphis, Texas, Bama, KC - they're all great... the only BBQ that I've ever had that I didn't feel amazed by was the vinegar sauce BBQ you get in the Carolinas outside of the Low Country, it just never clicked for me.
Damn, with all this BBQ experience you could be professional judges. Now you know why us Americans go crazy for BBQ.
😂Not sure about that! but practice makes perfect!!!! Thank you for watching
You guys should have your own series on Food Network or Travel Channel! Imagine, both of you traveling together to review/try-for-first-time popular dishes in big cities around the world. I know I’d watch it ❤
Trvl does not air travel shows anymore. It is a ghost channel and is worthless.
Thank you so much for your kind words it has made our evening! that would be a dream! Hopefully someone out there can make it happen! Thanks for watching
I think they got their own gig, right here. Doing their own thing, indepently. I don't watch TV. I watch RUclips.
Kansas City resident here! Glad you had a good time.
My favorite BBQ joints are:
Joe's KC
Jackstack
BB's Lawnside BBQ
Thanks for the suggestions for our next visit and Thank you for watching
Mine are Jack Stack, Meat Mitch and Gates.
Jack Stack. And Brick Street in Ft Scott
LC’s is my personal favorite, but the great thing about KC (and the surrounding regions in Kansas/Missouri) is that there are literally hundreds of great BBQ spots. Many of them small, and relatively unknown, but serving up world class BBQ.
Thank you for sharing your favorite spot! I love hearing about new BBQ places to try in the area. We would love to come back and spend more time discovering new places
pork is any part of a pig. Ham specifically comes from the rear upper leg, and is put through a process to become ham. Pulled pork is actually short for "pulled pork shoulder" so it's both ends of the pig at once lol
Thanks for the interesting food facts! we didn't know that! Thank you for watching
I'm 48 and a lifelong Kansas Citian. Thanks for coming to our city! We love showing the world our many treasures! All the places you went are fantastic, and there are of course many more. RIP, L.C. You used to always be able find him sitting in the same spot watching TV. It's (LC's) actually the first place we took our son after he was born some 18 years ago ;) Cheers!
I really appreciate your kind words and support! Kansas City has so much to offer, and it's wonderful to hear about your personal connection to LC's. and the city.
Love me some Lc's.. its always packed when I want to go get me some tho
We Kansans love our BBQ. Very happy for you to have dropped by to experience some of it. Now I'm hungry, dang it!
We loved our visit to Kansas, it was just too short! Next time we need to stay longer! we do have another video to upload soon! Thank you for watching
@@thebritstry Heads up, two out of three of those restaurants were in Missouri, not Kansas. People get very agitated when they're mixed up.
@@BlaststarI don’t care stfu. Kansas bbq is way better than Missouri
@@Blaststaronly stupid people do.
Oh please do a reaction video of Andrew watching the Wizard of Oz! Great video today - you two are a joy to watch!
Agreed! That would be so good.
The bread roll here is called a Kaiser for the German bakeries who originally made them
Thanks for sharing! the bread rolls (or Barmcakes as we call them in the UK) are kaiser rolls, we will have to look out for the next time we head to the grocery store.
The chemistry between the two of you is delightfully funny and sweet. Fantastic video as always! ❤
I'm going to start a drinking game. Every time Andrew says "I'll be the judge of that" you take a shot! 😆Love you two! ❤
😂That's a great idea
Thanks a lot Elaine!!! Headache for the ages! 🤣
@@kcook8023 😆 I know, right?!
"it's cheesy but not over cheesy" just like Nicola 😂
LC's brisket sandwich on white bread with sweet potato fries can not be improved. Heaven.
That sounds like a great meal!! LC'S was a great experience
That chair behind you is where the ol man sat every day they are open. He had a passion for food. His daughter took it over when he passed.
He opened LC'S In 92, i have been going there since late 90's .
When i ate in, I'd enjoy the long conversations talking about everything.
I truly miss his presence when i go get food.
That's an amazing story! LC'S was a great experience, There was a table and chair still with his name on!
Actually LC's opened up in '86
Okay, Brits! 🤠 Your video made me so hungry that I went to the store and got a pork tenderloin and put it in the slow cooker. It's not barbecue, but if you brown it and add it to the slow cooker with spice, veg broth and onions on high for 6 hours you get a pretty good pulled pork. For the sauce add apple cider vinegar to Head Country BBQ sauce (my husband cowboyed for the creator, Bud Head) with some garlic, apple juice and onion and it's amazing. Great video and I hope that you had a blast making it. ❤❤
Thank you for your kind words! and pork tenderloin in the slow cooker sounds delicious!!! We certainly hade fun making this one! Thank you for watching again!
@@thebritstry Thank you for such a fun video! If you're only in the US for a set amount of time, which recipes do you plan on taking home with you? I think that burnt ends might be on the list. 🤪
3 WOWS on the sandwich says it all ✌🏻❤️
It was really good! Thanks for watching!
In the fall you'll have to come back to Kansas City for The American Royal BBQ competition. It's the largest BBQ competition in the world. This year it will be October 31st through November 3rd.
I was at the very first one. Remember it like it was yesterday.
I think being a lifelong KC resident I sometimes take our BBQ for granted. It’s great watching people trying it out for the first time.
Great job guys.
It warms the ♥️ seeing the progress on accepting flavors,sauces,and combining things.The Earl of Sandwich would be proud of your growth
Just so you know, when you were talking about the Wizard of Oz and Kansas, you were actually in Missouri. LC’s is not far from me on the Missouri side. At Joe’s you were in Kansas and I think you were at the Q39 on the Missouri side. It’s all very confusing unless you’re from here.😁
Yes it is. To clarify for everybody, there is a Kansas City, Missouri and a Kansas City, Kansas. They're about 20-25 mins away from each other on the interstate, but we share a culture.
Just drive down state line rd
@@pestilentfellow3609no there's only one Kansas City the other one is an imitation that was created much later the city of Kansas City out dates anything in the area including the state of Kansas. Kansas City then Kansas territory then Kansas State that's the historical order. It's like saying there's a Pittsburgh Kansas and comparing it to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania KCK is a weak imitation
@@pestilentfellow3609 they touch
@@pestilentfellow3609Spoken like someone from the KS side lmfao y'all are not KC. Stop it.
Our kids used to live by Joe's so we're partial to them, but really there are dozens of BBQ places in KC that are wonderful in their own ways. Q39 has a good sit-down dining experience.
Thank you for sharing your experience and recommendations. It's always nice to hear other people opinions on BBQ places in KC! Q39 was a great setting for a meal!
You guys are such a fantastic couple. I wonder how you met? Any thoughts on a Live Q&A?
LCs is where anyone is welcome doesn't matter where you come from. my personal favorite in KC.
LC'S was an amazing experience! The quality of the bbq was a bonus
Best burnt ends on the planet and the ambience (dirty, sticky floors, and smoke everywhere) are what makes BBQ such an incredible experience.....They also give you huge portions of burnt ends (try the pork burnt ends)....and seeing the open smoker that looks ancient is so amazing...it's more appealing than any of the Michelin star restaurants!
Welcome to the Midwest. There is great bbq in Kansas. However, your opening shots of the city are in Missouri. Kansas City, Missouri. Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri share a border but are 2 different states. Confusing for visitors sometimes I know.
Joes is in ks though
@@jacetoon9473
Fk Joe's. Fake Oklahoma crap
I was gonna say the same..... Missouri girl here and it looked like home to me😊
@@jacetoon9473 Ate joe's twice, threw up twice.
Those were in Missouri. The did miss a few spots
The sauce is sweet because the base of most KC BBQ sauce is typically tomato and molasses often with brown sugar and apple cider vinegar, then you mix in spices to taste. So all of KC signature sauces will taste a bit different, but almost all of them will have a sweet base.
Thanks for sharing that insight about KC BBQ sauce! Thanks for watching
👍 If it doesn't have molasses, it isn't KC BBQ sauce. There's something magical about it. ❤️
You should have a shirt that reads, “I’ll Be The Judge Of That.” And your logo on there too.
Lol! Great idea! Thanks for watching!
Hope you both had an amazing time in KC. You picked some great spots. I hope that KC hospitality was in full force ☺️
The hospitality was amazing! we had a great time and will definitely come back in the future! Thank you for watching
It is very entertaining to see the two of you enjoy a meal together.
Thank you for watching
As y'all travel throughout America tasting the local cuisine, I've got 2 questions...
1) What has been your favorite meal or food so far...
2) Is there any particular food from England you miss having?
Enjoying my own dinner as I'm watching your video so it's like we're having a meal together....Love your videos, really enjoy the energy the 2 of you have together, and Nicola....you're still adorable as always. Take care and God bless...
Hey guys! Thanks so much for coming out to our city and trying a couple of the staples. If you EVER come back, I would love to treat you to a couple of locations like SLAPS, Char Bar for a different vibe (outside area with games and a fire pit), and somewhere else if your heart desires. I am a local photographer published in the NYTimes and other local papers and would love to document this while you're here!
Wow! that would be amazing!!!! we know we only scratched the surface on our short visit and will definitely head back in the future. Send us an email Thebritstry@gmail.com and we can let you know when we are able to plan a trip! Thanks for watching
@@thebritstry sounds great! I sure will. Talk soon
I recognized the "hidden gem" by the smoker 😂 LC's is my favorite place personally, really good food at comparatively affordable prices for BBQ.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with LC's! We loved it too! Thanks for watching
It's great to see someone not just talking about Texas barbeque all the time. As someone who has been all over and who is old, I can tell you that America has a good amount of various excellent regional barbeque styles, with different sauces and emphasizing different meats. Kansas City BBQ is one of the best, and is probably one of the most underrated. There is also excellent Chicago BBQ (where I am from, which primarily uses ribs instead of brisket); South Carolina (which features pulled pork and a mustard based sauce); North Carolina (which features pulled pork with a vinegar based sauce); and Saint Louis BBQ, which also features ribs. I suggest that the next time you are in any of these places (especially Chicago), that you try each of their different excellent BBQ styles.
Thank you for recommending the different types of bbq. We can’t wait to try them.
No Arthur Bryant's?glad you went to LC's.
That's a travesty. My first thought of KC is always Arthur Bryant's.
Thank you for the recommendation! LC's was a great choice but next time we will look up Arthur Bryants
Thank you for the recommendation! LC's was a great choice but next time we will look up Arthur Bryants
Kansas Citian here. How long did you stand in line at Joe's?
If you ever do come back, two places you need to hit up are Gates BBQ and the criminally underrated Rosedale BBQ.
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll be sure to check out Gates BBQ and Rosedale BBQ next time I'm in town. We were very lucky at all the places and didn't have to wait at all!
Jacks Stack has some of the best KC has to offer!
Thank you for the recommendation! Jack Stack is now at the top of my foodie list for next time we visit.
@@thebritstry Come back soon and visit KC again. We love having great people like you come to our city.
Love that you found LC’s. That’s generally one of the spots only locals know about, but it’s one of the best.
I live in Kansas City and about 2 miles from Joes! Q39 and LCs are such different eating experiences. Wish you guys got to come here while a Chiefs game was going on, you would have loved it.
That sounds like an amazing experience! we would love to try that in the future!
Second that! Nothing quite like the amazing smell of the parking lot at Arrowhead!
Welcome to KCBS BBQ style. I'm a KCBS Master Judge and I've been enjoying the products for 20 years in competition. Looks like these restaurants have been producing an excellent product. Nothing beats judging a contest where the meat has been timed to be of optimum taste and temperature for the judges. Glad you got to visit and taste outstanding BBQ.
Your comment made our day. It's amazing to connect with BBQ enthusiasts and people have real experience in the preparation and judging of amazing foods! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and thank you for watching!
Joe's is my favorite. Yes, we Kansans love our sauce, but we do still season the meat and of course slow cook it.
Joe's is definitely a classic choice! Kansans sure know their barbecue. Thanks for watching
LC's is literally the absolute best!!! I was so relieved when that was your 3rd place :) LC's is perfection on bread!
I hope someday I can try Kansas City BBQ and Texas BBQ. I love brisket and baked beans with brisket. I also love burnt ends too. We have BBQ places in Ohio but I know it’s still nothing like Kansas City or Texas. Possibly even Tennessee, which I’ve never had either.
Thanks for watching! We hope you get a chance to try the legendary BBQ in the future, let us know if there is anywhere in Ohio we should visit?
@@thebritstry I will have to get back with you on that.
I love how you communicate by just looking at each other. So in tune with each other. Good relationship. ❤This looked absolutely delicious. My husband's family lives in KC, and I haven't been to near as many BBQ places. I may ask him to take me! I'm glad you both enjoyed it!😊
Thank you so much for your kind words! We really appreciate your support and love sharing our experiences with you all. Kansas was a great experience but just to short! next time we would love to spend more time there!
@@thebritstry you're welcome. 😀 I completely understand , it's a big area to cover! On the upside, there is plenty more to explore!
Hope you enjoyed KC and our bbq. We get pretty serious about it at times, lol. The real shame is when you go to bbq outside of the big cities known for it. All bbq is good, but when it's in Texas or KC or the like, it's just a level above the rest. Hopefully you got to get around the city (both sides) and have some fun. It really is a great city. The good news is when y'all come back there are only about 300 other places to try, lol. Cheers.
we loved our visit to Kansas, unfortunately it was just too short! Next time we need to stay longer! we do have another video to upload soon! Thank you for watching
I moved to KC 18 years ago and that's how I got to know my way around the city - going to all different BBQ restaurants. I'm still finding new spots. ❤
It's amazing that you're still discovering new BBQ spots after all these years! Kansas does have a vibrant food scene; We will definitely be back in the future.
So, I hope you're getting the followers to afford the travels. Get back to Texas, get to Goldees........get everything but make sure you get the pork belly and get the hash or casserole whatever they call it I forget, you wont be upset about it. Love the channel. You guys are amazing I enjoy seeing how your travels go. We love to feed our cousins. I cant wait to get back to the UK for a visit, I love it there.
Grew up in Kansas..90 miles from Kansas City..until I went into the service..but I always try to steer people to Kansas City barbecue…
That's awesome! Kansas City barbecue is a must-try for any BBQ lover. Which BBQ spot was your go to?
❤ Finally The Brits Try KC BBQ ❤
Thank you for watching! we had a great time in KC
Nicole's love of spicy is impressive.
Thank you for noticing Nicole's love for spicy food!
Finally you guys get to enjoy the best BBQ in the world!
Those Texans, Memphians, and Carolinians want to have a talk with you. 😂
They've already been to Texas.
@@bf5175 i know, thats why I'm glad they finally get the best BBQ in the world, from KC.
Thanks for watching!
@@BruceWayne53713 They already had BBQ in Texas. But it's nice they get to taste the sauce y'all are so known for.
Once again, my mouth is watering like crazy. I love BBQ. My Dad used to smoke all the time. My grandfather used to own a BBQ place in Louisiana. Yall are becoming quite the experts on America's food. Another great video. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words! it must have been great having homemade bbq all the time! Thanks for watching!
@thebritstry Yes it was wonderful. Thanks again!
Kansas City, Missouri might be the most under-rated city in the US. IMHO, you need to go to more than 3 places to really get to know KC bbq. Plus, so much great jazz/music. Hope this is your first of many visits.
Absolutely! Kansas City has so much to offer beyond just BBQ and jazz. It's definitely a hidden gem in the US. we just wish we had more time on our trip! We have another video from KC to upload soon!
She picked LCs….i think I love her lol. Wish Big LC was still alive and could have met them for this 😢
Thank you for your kind words! we loved LC'S BBQ and atmosphere inside, there was a very nice memorial inside and the desk had a name plaque resting on it! It would have been a real experience to have met him.
Baked beans were invented by Native Americans in the New England region of the United states. They are sweet because I believe they used molasses or maple syrup in their recipes. Heinz beans that you get in England is an American company from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. 🇺🇸🙏🏻👍🏻
Thank you for sharing! they definitely have a sweet delicious flavor in the USA. Thank you for watching
We made it to Joe's for the first time about a year ago and we are glad we did. So many great places to eat in KC. We don't go to KC often, once every couple years, but the food is something to get excited about when you go.
KC BBQ > TX BBQ
(COMING FROM A NATIVE NEBRASKAN LIVING IN TEXAS)
The Joe's KC BBQ gas station where they ate at is about 5 minutes from where I live. Sometimes, if I have had a really long day at work, I will use the app on my phone to order some food for pickup, the longest I have ever had to wait was maybe 5 minutes, and then drive home. Words can not describe how awesome it is especially after a long day.
We are so jealous!!!! fortunately we only waited 5 mins for such a special meal!! Thanks for watching
We here in Texas don't need BBQ sauce on our BBQ all the flavor is in the meat
We have also tried Texas BBQ, Which is your favorite?
I think two things are true at once. Both that the best BBQ doesn't need sauce, and that KC does have some decent BBQ sauces.
I agree with you @gregorydavis. The flavor should be there with no sauce needed. But for pulled pork, you need a little tangy bbq sauce to go with the sweet flavor of the pork..
Right. That's probably why it's so difficult to find a Texas bbq joint that even has any sauce. Oh, every bbq place in Texas.has their own sauce? Weird.🙄
Texas people get so but hurt when people enjoy other bbq. If you paid attention you can hear how they talk about how good the meat is. The sauce is just some extra goodness on top because we're great at making sauces too. Just because mashed potatoes taste good don't mean you have to skip the gravy.
Here in Kansas City, it's all about the sauce. Do you like a lot, a little, or none. Then it's about the taste of the sauce whether it's sweet, spicy, vinegar, etc. When the BBQ is done right, you can choose whether or not to have sauce.
A second thing of KC BBQ is burnt ends as you tried. I would say the best burnt ends in KC are at Meat Mitch. If you come back, I would suggest a burnt ends tour! Thanks for coming to our city and sharing your experiences! You're making me hungry just watching!
Thank you for the warm welcome and BBQ suggestions! Meat Mitch sounds like a must-visit for burnt ends next time we are in town. Thanks for watching
If you ever come back, try Buck Tui BBQ. It's a Thai-BBQ fusion restaurant, and the food is incredible. The Brisket Phad Thai is one of my favorites.
Thanks for the recommendation! The Brisket Phad Thai sounds amazing-we’ll definitely add it to my food bucket list for my next visit!
If you ever come back, you should try Scott's Kitchen.
we appreciate the recommendation, we'll definitely check out Scott's Kitchen next time!
Great video the food looks tasty AF..look forward to watching your videos.
The food was really tasty!! Thank you so much for your kind words! Let us know if there is anywhere else we should try?
Friendly reminder that much of the time you were actually in Kansas City, MO. The opening shots of the downtown skyline, the international airport you likely arrived in, the sports teams, entertainment, are all in KCMO.
Joe’s is in a suburb on the Kansas side though.
Thanks for the reminder! Kansas City has so much to offer, and it can be easy to mix up the locations. Appreciate the clarification!
‘I’ll Be the Judge of THAT.’ 😂 The best taglines always have a cheeky inflection.
My top three include Texas BBQ, Carolina BBQ (north vinegar and south mustard) and Kansas City BBQ, in that order.
I’ve enjoyed watching the two of you interact with each other and the viewers on your vids.
I’m sure that you will find along the way some of the dishes aren’t quite your cup of tea and it’s okay to say so; we all have a different ranking order according to taste.
I cringe every time you guys drink black coffee but it’s only because I like mine to taste like a dessert (minimum one cream, two sugars). 😂
Suggestion: If you ever see a Honey Baked Ham Store/Shop during your travels, it’s well worth stopping in for a sandwich or a meal.
Outside of Terry Black’s they have the best smoked and roasted turkey and their honey baked ham is a Thanksgiving Day favorite (Loaded mashed potatoes, gourmet mac n cheese, bean casserole, sweet potato souffle, pumpkin spiced or pecan pie).
Cracker Barrel also has a really good Thanksgiving Day Plate (battered/fried turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, collard greens, candied yams, cranberry sauce, corn bread, dinner rolls, apple crumble).
Been watching y'all for a min. Born raised in KC and I just am now seeing y'all just visited KC. Hope y'all enjoyed
Thanks for being a long-time viewer! We had an amazing time in KC and loved exploring the local culture. Let us know if there is anything else we should try next time.
I work in Kansas City and it’s really cool that you both made it to KC. Glad you enjoyed the BBQ. Hopefully if you come back you can try more places.
Now you have to go try St. Louis and Memphis and the Carolinas. That’s what’s great about BBQ. It’s all different but all amazing. And try the hole in the wall places too. Our son brings us St. Louis style ribs from this little place he knows and they are so good. You’ve made me want to go get some BBQ now. 😂
We can’t WAIT to go and try all the places you mentioned above. We noticed the difference between Texas and Kansas City bbq. 😀
Great content would be at the American Royal Barbecue Competition. It is a huge event that lasts the entire weekend
Thank you for the suggestion! The American Royal Barbecue Competition sounds like a fantastic opportunity for a video, we will look it up
Hey! KC resident and Joe's fan here! The Z-Man is one of the best. KC has an enormous local BBQ following. So many good places. Looking forward to seeing other places along your journey!
I love pulled pork. I’ve been smoking meat for about 30 years, but I still need sauce on pulled pork. By the way, KC is maybe the most underrated food city in America. I’ve been nearly everywhere in this country and lived in 6 states. I still look forward to eating in KC. I happen to be a Q39 guy, but the other 2 are great.
That's awesome to hear! KC must has some amazing barbecue spots, we have some more videos to come in the future!
You got to go to Kentucky and try the Kentucky hot brown made 150 years ago at the brown hotel for the Kentucky Derby. It's amazing.
Welcome to Kansas City!! There are SO MANY great BBQ AND non-BBQ restaurants here in town! It’s truly a foodie’s paradise!!
So true! we had a great time an have just uploaded another video on Kansas food spots, we just wish we had more time there.. ruclips.net/video/8clxTGkUPZw/видео.html
Harp BBQ is popping off too. That place has some of the most phenomenal BBQ I've ever had. So phreaking good.
We will have to try it when we go back, thanks for the recommendation. 😀
Kansas has always had better bbq than Missouri!! Glad you guys enjoyed your visit to Kansas!! ❤️❤️
I’m glad somebody finally went to LCs the best in the city
LC'S is a great experience, the food was great also! Thanks for watching
How have you never watched wizard of oz. Are you kidding me Love you guys😊
Thanks for watching! your right! Andrew had heard of it but hasn't ever seen the film
My wife wasn’t a big fan of BBQ until I took her to Kansas City. She tried Joe’s and Q39 and loved it. However, it’s the only BBQ she likes now. 😂
It's amazing how a great BBQ experience can change someone's perspective! Kansas City has some of the best spots for BBQ lovers. Thanks for watching
Welcome to Kansas City, you picked a good spot!
Thank you so much! we loved our time in Kansas City! which is your favorite?
@@thebritstry,KC Joe's, I usually go to the one in Overland Park
I love how you wipe his mouth when he eats. It's so adorable.
Thank you for watching! and you very kind words....
I moved to Kansas City a little more than a year ago. My wife and I love it! There are so many BBQ places to try that we are given the nickname the BBQ Capital of the World. Every year the biggest BBQ competition comes here called the American Royal. My personal favorite is Arthur Bryants. I love it so much that I have taken up the hobby of smoking meats myself.
Really glad you all were lead to LC’s! Definetly a favorite of mine!
Thank you so much for sharing your love for LC's! we loved it too!
Kansas City in the house!! 😂😂 We have so many delicious places we have to rotate them out! Everyone always forgets KC when I see these videos, I'm so happy!! Now we are having BBQ for dinner 😂😂❤
So jealous! Thanks for watching, we had a great time in Kansas city
I have tried all types of BBQ in my travels..KC,Carolina(both types)Memphis…they are all delicious and all have their strong points…My favorite will of course be Texas but I will admit I am biased for my states beef brisket…glad to see you enjoying all of the different types we have! Enjoy!!!
When I hat Joe’s ribs years ago, I couldn’t wash the smoky scent off my hands for days. Not complaining.
Love you guys. First video I've watched of yours. Kansas City born and raised. Still live here. I have traveled the US and tried BBQ all over, and I whole heartedly believe KC has the best BBQ in the country. Maybe my taste buds are biased though. LCs is honestly probably my favorite. Glad you guys got to experience it. Also, Joes BBQ at the gas station is the only one that was in Kansas. The other 2 were in Missouri. There is a Kansas City, Kansas and a Kansas City Missouri. Just a bit of geographical knowledge for ya.. Also, the look out where you finished your video is one of my favorite spots in the city. Look forwards to watching more
Between you 2 and Beard meets food who would consume every meal of your trips in about 30 seconds, I'm sold on Only Brit food channels
Thank you so much for your support! We're thrilled to be part of your British food journey-there's always more tasty adventures to come!
Love, Love, Love these 2!!!
Fantastic, I'm happy to see you hit two out of the three I recommended. Truth is there are so many good BBQ joints it's hard to go wrong at most of them. I hope you enjoyed your stay in KC.
We had a great time trying Kansas bbq! Thanks for watching
Great choice getting the turkey at LC's! Everyone always goes for brisket or ribs but they easily have my favorite turkey in the city
It was so delicious!😀
I am glad you enjoyed the area and the food. There are a couple of BBQ places you should check out, I see most comments have already mentioned Author Bryants, but the other KC original is Gates and Sons. I think Gates has the best sauce around and their sandwiches are great. I think that all the BBQ around KC is really good, and I go to places depending on the type of meat I crave. It is always to each their own, so try them all and you will be happy! Great video, and look forward to you traveling to KC again!
Thank you so much for your recommendations! we'll definitely check out Bryants and Gates and Sons next time I'm in KC. Thanks for watching
Kansas Citian here - y'all missed the hidden gem completely: Bates City BBQ just outside of KCMO is by far and away the best, and the most cost-effective BBQ in town. Next time.
Thanks for the recommendation! we’ll definitely add Bates City BBQ to our list for the next visit. Always looking for hidden gems in the BBQ scene!
