I do like one little BBQ place in town - Chef J in the West Bottoms. It's always good whenever I go. Very limited hours though and they can see out fast.
Burnt Ends + fries are the order at AB’s

Haven’t tried Chef J - will check out. Thanks for the rec!

AB has the best sausage, they slice it different so it looks more like gyro meat rather then rings of sausage

So no one went at American Royal? Did all the local joints have any set up there. You'd think they would have an advantage in the competition. AB hooked me on white bread with their great sandwiches. Tried Gates and others but nothing was as smoky as AB.

2019 was my last year attending. Lots of corporate events. Meh but expensive offerings if you weren't invited to a private event. Probably won't go back unless it moves back downtown.

Great idea, but doubtful.

We need an “ESPN BBQ Award”, in the same capacity as a Guinness World Record or a Michelin Star rating. An award bestowed by a company for a basically unrelated achievement
