Situated on the Kansas side of the border, it lives up to all of the hype, most famously Anthony Bourdain’s list of “13 Places to Eat Before You Die.” The perfectly seasoned “short end” (aka juicer) ribs are a sight to behold. If you visit only one BBQ restaurant, make it Joe’s.

While I wasn’t able to visit all of them, I spent three full days eating slow-cooked meats and killer sauces for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Known for its ubiquitous “burnt ends,” ribs, and signature thick sauce-which most Americans think of and buy when reaching for BBQ sauce (a la KC Masterpiece)-Kansas City is home to over 100 barbecue restaurants, many of which are nationally renowned. But I followed my stomach there on a mission to identify the two-state city’s best barbecue joints. Located at the epicenter of the lower 48, KC is known for many things, including its beautiful trees and Super Bowl champion Chiefs. Last month, I was finally able to “leave my room” and properly explore Kansas City for myself. Even though I wasn’t allowed to leave the room while my dad attended a conference in the lobby, I felt like a VIP watching the “foreign” city just outside my high-rise window. It was the first time I flew in an airplane or stayed at a fancy hotel. When I was nine, my father took me on an overnight trip to Kansas City. Although weird now, travel is still worthwhile-especially to these open borders. “Get Out There” is a new column for itchy footed humans written by Paste contributor Blake Snow.
