“Arthur Bryants in Kansas City set the standard during his life.”
I agree. I ate there in ‘99. Went hard-core carniverous that day. Ate 2/3rd of a rack of ribs - minus the fatty sections. Drank a lot of Coke.
My blood pressure must have been 490 over 210 when I left with all the salt and caffeine I ingested. LOL!
Their original sauce is, to me, the gold standard. Every time I eat BBQ somewhere new, I measure it against Arthur Bryant’s.
