Kansas City
Walk up to a BBQ counter in Kansas City, Missouri, and you can order just about any kind of meat served with a signature thick, sweet, tomato-and-molasses sauce. KC is a melting pot of barbecue, but locals love "burnt ends" (the tips of a double-smoked brisket) and fantastic baby back ribs doused with sticky sauce.
Kansas City Ribs
The secret to KC-style ribs is mopping. The sauce soaks in as the ribs cook, making them melt-in-your-mouth good.
