Arthur Bryant's BBQ

Dave got me thinking about one of my all-time favorite barbeque restaurants this morning. I have been going to Arthur Bryant's for almost 30 years now. This cartoon appeared in the Kansas City Times newspaper in December, 1982 after Arthur Bryant passed away. Here are a few words about Arthur and his restaurant.

Arthur Bryant, the legendary King of Ribs, is the most renowned barbequer in history. He created a sauce that has attracted the likes of former Presidents Harry Truman and Jimmy Carter to his restaurant . . . considered to be the best restaurant in the world by New Yorker columnist Calvin Trillin.

Since 1930 celebrities such as Steven Spielberg, Michael Landon, Robert Redford, Jack Nicholson, Wilt Chamberlain, Bryant Gumbel, Tom Watson and George Brett — and common folk alike — have made the pilgrimage to Arthur Bryant's to enjoy barbeque that's slow-smoked with a combination of hickory and oak woods, mellowed to the peak of flavor, then splashed with Original or Rich & Spicy sauce.
