Regional BBQ Recipes
Kansas City
Kansas City ribs are served wet with a rich, tomato-based sauce that's smooth, sweet and tangy with just the right amount of spice. Due to the Kansas City stockyards, brisket is also a barbecue favorite here. Burnt ends, the edge pieces of brisket that absorb a lot of flavor from the rub and smoke, are also a local delicacy.
