I lived in the Kansas City area for many years. It is stuck between a rock and a hard place.
But they do have Gate's BBQ and great blues.
Gates is pretty good. I prefer Bryant's, but the best is this hole in the wall attached to a used car dealership outside of Grain Valley that's only open Friday through Sunday, called Porkeys.
This is so often the case, but man, is there anything more disappointing than going to a hole-in-the-wall for any kind of cuisine and realizing it's still a hole in the wall because it kinda sucks?
For real. Many places are a hole in the wall cause they just kinda suck.
Adding to this, Porky's is not a dirty looking dingy hole in the wall. It's just small and you wouldn't expect good food to be hiding inside.
Ahh, Kansas City, where the barbecue is like Texas but a little bit worse, and the music is like Memphis but a little bit worse.... 🤣
Texas bbq takes the L compared to superior KC BBQ. I've had both many times.
Also, I don't like your sauces, either.
I am very sorry that something is wired wrong in your brain that makes you prefer the goopy sugarmeat that comes from Kansas City.
The sauce should be optional, and it should add a little heat.
Lol. Sauce is optional at both, but I'd rather have sweet and spicy sauce instead of vinegar.
Having had samplings of both, Texas definitely has more money and a bigger population (and thus more diversity) but I've enjoyed St. Louis establishments more than Houston's on average.
St Louis is pretty underrated for BBQ. Stellar Hog is pretty great. Some others too but that’s my goto.
