After seeing the capital we completed our day long exploration of Missouri by heading west to Kansas City for some of the best barbeque I have ever tasted.

Being a southerner raised in a Barbeque Shack, I must say that I am very proud of the south’s pork cooking traditions. I have tasted Barbeque in nearly 30 states at countless locations, and have never found a place that beats some of my favorite Georgia barbeques. That is why it is so difficult for me to say this, but a new winner has emerged for best barbeque and it is not in the southeast.

Arthur Bryant’s Barbeque is world famous, and frankly the only thing I found worth seeing in Kansas City. This restaurant is understated to say the least. It looks like a hole in the wall in a seedy part of town. Inside though, the sandwiches are piled high with pork on white loaf bread and covered with some of the best sauce I have ever tasted. Prices are decent (around $7 for sandwich and fries), but quantity and quality could easily justify higher prices.

Finally, after trekking across the state and filling our bellies, we wondered around Kansas City for any last sights to see before bedding down near St. Joseph, Missouri, the home of Jesse James and the Pony Express.

Day 2 was exhausting, we had driven clear across the width of Missouri, taken on 3 towns, went up in the Gateway , Arch, saw the Clydesdales and drank free beer at the Anheuser Busch factory, the Missouri State Capitol Building, and had the best barbeque I had ever tasted. It was quite an exhausting day, and a hotel bed was a well deserved treat.
