Living in Topeka you are just a short drive from Kansas City. To those who enjoy all things smoked and grilled many (including myself) would call it BBQ paradise, home to the best BBQ in the country. Both claims however are as hotly debated as to who has better pizza, New York or Chicago? This debate may in fact be carried out on a blog at a later date but due to an obvious bias Kansas City will be the winner :-)
Kansas City BBQ has it's legend's; Gates, Oklahoma Joe's, Zarda, Jack Stack's, K.C. Masterpiece to name a few.....but perhaps the most celebrated and cherished is Arthur Bryant's. When one thinks K.C. BBQ one things Arthur Bryant's.
Forgive me by saying I have not tried Arthur Bryant's, but plant to in the immediate future. However most stores in Topeka offer a chance to taste just a bit of why Arthur Bryant's is so good in sauce form.
I went this weekend to Hyvee and purchased a bottle of Arthur Bryant's original sauce. I wanted my curiosity to be satisfied. I went home immediately and opened a bottle of the bright almost orange like sauce and poured some out. I dapped a bit with a spoon and gave it a try. For those who have not tried this sauce be careful!!!! If you are thinking it will resemble K.C. Masterpiece you are in for a letdown. It is thick, peppery (you can see the bits of black pepper in the sauce) and finishes with a nice vinegar bite. If you like sweet sauces, flavored with molasses or brown sugar, this sauce is not for you. It lets you know you have something in your mouth, and makes perfect sense to slather it on ribs, or pulled pork. If you are a BBQ fan, then this sauce is a must try!
