Wilber's - best NC 'cue
Arthur Bryant's - KCMO
Coincidentally, the worst BBQ I've ever had was also at Arthur Bryant's. The wild inconsistency of it is part of the charm.
Oklahoma Joe's is white people KC BBQ. It's good (and the original in the gas station is awesome), but it's too Johnson County for me. I much prefer Bryant's and Gate's when I'm in KC.
Truth that OK Joe's is white man's BBQ (especially the soul-less Olathe location), but I'm a white man, and it's awesome.
I do go back and forth between it and Bryant's though. The burnt ends at Bryant's might be my all-time favorite BBQ item.
