Southern Living’s New Choice for Best Missouri BBQ is Legend

If you're planning on starting a BBQ place in Missouri, you can only aspire to second place as the top spot is set aside for a legend which has just been confirmed again by Southern Living.

This new share by Southern Living is interesting for a lot of reasons. First of all, they say they're choosing the best barbecue place for each southern state yet they include Missouri. Do you consider Missouri a southern state? South of I-70, most in the state of Missouri would likely answer yes, but that's another question for a different day.

What is Southern Living's choice for the best BBQ in Missouri?

Could it be any other place than Arthur Bryant's Barbecue in Kansas City? Answer - NOPE This has been THE place for Missouri BBQ dating back to the days of President Harry S. Truman.

Arthur Bryant's BBQ is located just blocks away from what used to be Municipal Stadium which was the original home of the Kansas City Athletics and the Chiefs, too. One way to get famous is to be so close to all the people going to all those games.

There is an argument to be made that Arthur Bryant's isn't just the best BBQ in Missouri, but the entire country if not world. Simply put, there is no better BBQ in the state and Southern Living got this right no matter if Missouri really is a southern state or not.
