Born and raised in KC. I've been going to Arthur Bryant's since 1963. I moved away from KC in '84 for my job but on my trips home I always go back to Bryant's. The BBQ scene in KC has definitely changed in the last 40 plus years. I cherish those times I had at Bryant's when Arthur was "on the pit" himself. My most memorable moment at Bryant's was meeting and shaking hands with Satchel Paige after an Athletics game, very cool. Thanks for the video.
I'm West of KC, and BBQ in KC is sooo sooo amazing, and your story makes so much sense. Imagine Lunch there, and then a visit the Negro Baseball League museum. That might just lead to a visit in the evening to some small, low keyJazz and Blues club downtown!! That's KC !!!!
@@GarethLeonard When Anthony Bourdain did his KC episode he threw serious shade at AB’s and just generally misrepresented the KC food scene. It was a great travesty in food television. This is well done and well deserved. KC on the whole has many hidden gems that don’t get enough attention.
I lived in KC years ago and have been to Arthur Bryant’s. It’s the real deal of real deals. Authentic. I remember the window sill being lined up with those bottles of “juice” just warming in the heat of the afternoon sun. Amazing
@@GarethLeonard You might not have liked it TBH. The floors were kinda greasy, and Arthur had two FAT boxers that kinda had the run of the place. How he got away with that, I'll never know. But the Q has never faltered IMO.
I was 5 yrs old the first time my dad took us into Bryant's. We would ride the baseball bus downtown and get off in front of Bryants to get our order to go. We'd walk up the hill a couple blocks then go into old Municipal Stadium and watch the Kansas City A's baseball games and the Kansas City Chiefs football games. I am 64 now. To this day Bryant's is best!
I moved to KC in 1988 from New York. Been to bryants many times. On first visit i was blown away at size of sandwich. They put 6 slices of bread grab a handful of pulled pork smash in top, then put fries on top of that. Then wrap all in paper. One hell if a sandwich will feed 3 easily.
I lived in KC for 5 years (98-03). First place my co-workers took me to was AB's. I will never forget that day and that lunch. It will always be a core food memory for me. And AB's is and will always be THE BEST in KC BBQ. Go there. Even if you have to make a trip to get there, it's worth it.
Been going there since my early teens and I'm 60 now. I had a little trouble with the "grittiness" of the sauce my first couple of visits. After that it became my favorite sauce and I still use it today! My favorite bar-b-que joint in the entire city because it authentic and delicious.
Thanks for your effort in filming unknown attractions in the US, the Baseball Museum looks gorgeous and the food does not look bad either putting tons of effort into its processing.
@@GarethLeonard I've been to Gates and sons, Haywards, KC Masterpiece had a restaurant for a while, I've been to Jack Stack, Jake Edwards BBQ (his son Danny Edwards has a place on Southwest Blvd) Joe's on State Line (back in the day, it's been gone for a while) just to name a few.
So you Memba that big jar of sauce that was separated in the window with dust on it? My Mom bought it for me once when we were going to Arrowhead for the Parliament Concert. But brought our Gates sauce. I’m now in a Maryland and still won’t claim this nasty place.
As a Kansas Citian who just missed the Municipal Stadium era this is an excellent tribute to Kansas City history, and such a loving tribute to Arthur Bryant's. I work downtown and I've BEEN there but I really didn't know the history so this was outstanding. Thanks so much! KC BBQ PRIDE BABY!
Living in france … thinking of visiting KC just for that It may not be be Michelin Star but it looks bloody good and doesn’t cost €150 a plate My kind of food. There are some things that are only really done well in the US
Glad I clicked on this, I had no idea which bbq joint it was going to be....this is my fave! One story, I took my nephew to a Chiefs game in the 90's and this is where we went to get our tailgate meal. He was 15 then, and he's told me that was his fave too cause the sauce turned his fingers orange! I haven't been back for a long time, I live too far away, but this will always be my favorite KC BBQ...tell John McGee hey for me!
First time I have seen this channel. Loved this video as a big bbq fan especially not having to sit through ‘fake facials’ I normally see on some UA-cam content creators. Thanks heaps. New fan from Nee Zealand
My parents and I went on a BBQ tour (we are from KC so we know our bbq trust me)....I kid you not, the gentleman who did all of the prep and bbq'ing.....while in line....whispered to us "if you give me $20 bucks cash I'll give you my discount....walk to the right and right before you get to the register ....cough and I'll hand you the beef brisket sandwiches and run out the door" Each sandwich that he gave us cost literally around $20.....We had three.....Years later he was awarded best employee at the company on Facebook.......He screwed us over with some side things like sauce and stuff....but....hilarious and such a great memory! Priceless....This place is one of the GREATEST restaurants in the world (not just bbq but in general).....God bless them! Great video btw!
We had a Group travel from St. Louis to Kansas City to Eat BBQ at Arthur Bryant’s. Left STL at 6:30am, spent 5-6 hours in KC and Returned to STL at 11:00pm. 16.5 hrs.
I remember as a little girl going to Arthur Bryant’s and Arthur’s dog “cupcake “ would be there with him and we’d laugh at cupcake as he would slide all over the floor from the grease. Arthur was always so kind to his customers! He’d often bring us extra trays of ribs and brisket 🤩🤗🥳
KC Ribs are hard to beat and the history is incredible! However, having traveled the US and the world, Texas is king of BBQ in my opinion. Joe’s, LC’s, Q39, Arthur Bryant, etc are all amazing and I have deep respect for each of them and for KC BBQ in general. I just personally feel the overall offering of Texas BBQ is better and has more to offer. To each their own!
im afraid the refs are the world champions. im a bbq expert and lived in KC for years, KC bbq is good but it is not the best in the world for bbq. -your excellency
@@insominac bigly agreed. texas, florida, and the carolinas are the oldest and greatest states on earth and they invented BBQ. much richer history than KC ketchup sugar sauce BBQ
as a KC Ex-Pat, Arthur Bryant's is a must visit when I go back home. 45+ years. If I had to choose between the "cemetery" cruise or Arthur Bryant's - I'll hit my mom up next time. She'd understand.
🎶🎵 “”just a mention of his name, just a mention of his name everything can change everything and change if you walk in and say if you walked in happy just a man of his name just a mention of his name everything can change””🎶🎵 Look up that song to see what it is
I’ve had the practice of arriving early and sitting by the window so I never really look at what others are eating - so in the 24 years since my first visit, I never knew about the sausage. Something to look forward to the next time I’m in town!
It's not the given #1 in KC, but it's definitely among the top. Everyone has a different #1 and it's all subjective but they are great. I would say them and gates are the old school and created the game as we know it in KC so they deserve their props and it's cool to see all that they do. Henry Perry, from Memphis, started doing BBQ in 1908. Charlie Bryant and his brother Arthur Bryant began working at Perry's and then Arthur took it over in 1946. Also in 46 a former cook for Henry Perry named Arthur Pinkard partnered with George Gates to start Gates and Sons BBQ. Arthur Bryant's was acquired by MMD Acquisitions LLC around November of 23 and Gates is owned by Ollie Gates as far as I can tell. The heritage of the two institutions, and their connection with Henry Perry give them the clout to be the originators.
I have been going there from when I was 12 years old , 77 now . There may be lots of great BBQ joints in KC area , but Bryant’s is the heart and soul of them all .
I was there in 1980, it’s still the same. I never forgot how great everything tasted and they still grab the fries and dump on top of your sandwich and wrap it up awesome!
I was born and raised in kc Missouri Arthur Bryant's is one of the best places to go get barbeque i live in Oklahoma now was just in Missouri two weeks and and they was closed for some reason.
Wayne is the epitome of an ELITE blue collar barbecue Chef. Yes Chef. He knows his kitchen and oven/pits like the back of his hand. Moving all kinds of meats to various hot spots and cooler spots all at once. I hope they have his successor planned out because he is for sure is an integral part of the entire operation.
Gareth outstanding video, as well as a couple of others I checked out. A year ago we did a KC BBQ run and Arthur Bryant's a stop as well as Joe's in (MO) and of course Gates. But, the one I ranked number one was LC's on MLK. I even caught the iron-horse (bus) from my hotel to check it out. It just reminded me of a country Q stand. Keep up the great work. By the way, thanks for going by the Negro League Museum and giving them a shout out.
One of my happy places on planet earth... as a native KC boy I have been so many times... sooo much brisket, sooo many burnt ends. Lots of great Q in KC, this one is just one of my faves.
oh, one more thing. Back in the day - when you were in line, you handed the guy your plate. My dad taught me to hold a 5 dollar bill under the plate and when the guy took it, you got a pound of meat on your sandwich. They haven't done that in years, probably when Berbiglia bought them. But those were the days....
I used to live a few blokcs from this location. KC has spoiled me for BBQ. I actually prefer my brisket thin cut, it works out better in sandwich format
Got to love when someone not from KC posts a video saying a place is #1 when it's lucky to be on top 10 lists in 2024. An appropriate title would be something about one of KC's oldest BBQ joints, but if you try KC BBQ passing through don't be misled by video titles like this.
I respect Arthur Bryant's for its enriched history, however, for me, Gates BBQ is LIFE for me :). Also, I'll tell you what, if Arthur Bryant's or KC would decide to expand into the Atlanta, GA market area where BBQ isn't the best in this area, AB's or Gates would definitely take over the Atlanta, GA BBQ market easily.
A LONG TIME AGO I REMEMBER ORDERING A SANDWICH AND FRIES SO BIG I WALKED OUTTA THERE FEELING LIKE I WAS CARRYING A NEWBORN BABY. HOWEVER, I WOULD GO UP TO GATES TO GET MY SAUCE CAUSE ARTHUR BRYANTS TASTE LIKE IT HAD SAND IN IT. IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW!!!
@carterkenny8041, man, when i used to visit KC on business trips, i did EXACTLY what you did!! Grab a huge turkey and brisket sandwi h with fries and go to Gates for their spicy sauce to put on it.😅
I was lucky enough to be a guest there to say the food was amazing would be a understatement, but I can say this is the most fun you can have with your clothes on!!! Attention to detail in a professional way is amazing
Unless things have changed.. you better know what you want when you walk up to order. They don't play around and will yell at you if you aren't ready. At least that was what I saw when I ate there on several trips to KC. Also.. being from Texas it's good BBQ, but still nothing beats Texas BBQ.
AB is historic in KC, gotta be honest, the last 2 times I’ve been the food was objectively substandard. I wrote this comment with the only hope that someone will bring it back to its former glory!?
Six generations of my family have crossed the threshold of that door. It's literally right down the street from me. One thing that you might not know if you're not from here is the sauce is to help if the meat doesn't taste right - if the meat is smoked right, you shouldn't need any sauce at all. My grandfather said that tradition comes from the days when heating/cooling meats with various elements (cold storage that needed blocks of ice, etc)

I hope they've gone back to putting sauce ON the meat.
This is the kind of food that literally brings you to tears.

Hey Gareth, thank you so much for this amazing biography!! You, your crew, and the crew at legendary Authur Bryants was amazing to watch and learn!
Thank you so much for tuning in! It was a great day at an amazing institution!
My life partner was born and raised on Arthur Bryant's. He passed two years ago. Thank you for bringing him back to me.
The best food has a memory attached to it... Respect.
Thank you for sharing your memory of food and love.
"Life partner" LOLOL...
The reason that I do BBQ. This is history. Salute from Charlotte, NC.

Great video! One of my all-time favorites and a living museum to the great history of bbq in KC!
It is such a special place that I never thought to visit! So happy I had the chance!! 🙏
Turkey and Beef combo is one of the best BBQ meals I ever had in my life. Know where I'm going this weekend. Awesome video
Glad to have this establishment in this part of the country. Great Midwest beef. Thank you Arthur Bryant. 😊
Gareth you a foo lol. Love the segment and how you showed just being yourself and authenticity with Mr. Wayne!
I absolutely love Arthur Bryant's!! My go-to is the beef and fries. Grab a cold pitcher of Boulevard Pale Ale and I'm good to go!!! Great video!

The awesome thing is that Arthur Bryant’s is one of hundreds of BBQ restaurants in the region. Truly a BBQ Mecca!
That man loves his job! Almost spit my drink when I saw that wad of fries. Will definitely give it a try when visiting KC.
That looks absolutely delicious! My mouth is watering just looking at it.

I’ve had the awesome pleasure and experience of this legendary BBQ spot. The best I’ve ever tasted.
I am glad I stop by here when I pass by last year.
Being from Memphis, I was always told that if the meat falls off the ribs then it is not cooked correctly. Good job KC.
Spot on!!
Good job KC? We do the best job when it comes to BBQ and football baby.
That’s for competition rib cook offs at home people don’t care about that pull only the flavor 😋😋
Great video brother.
Nothing but love in this place keep it up guys 👍🏽
I grew up in Grandview mo,Im 65 ,Great BBQ,it was a treat to eat thier 😋 everything is delicious!

I am so glad you showed the rolled to go order. That place is an experience.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gareth is good to see you and as usual good video... Abrazos
Arthur Bryant’s is the best. I’m glad you enjoyed the food. I’m also glad you visited the NL Baseball Museum.
I have been going there from when I was 12 years old , 77 now . There may be lots of great BBQ joints in KC area , but Bryant’s is the heart and soul of them all .
Now I got to visit that restaurant. Thanks Gareth.
LOOKS SO GOOD
I was there in 1980, it’s still the same. I never forgot how great everything tasted and they still grab the fries and dump on top of your sandwich and wrap it up awesome!

One of our worst BBQ places….
You should try LC’s
Q-39
Slaps
Thank you. It’s not good at all. Fries and a sandwich are not the “standard “ by which one judges “BBQ” good lord.
One of my happy places on planet earth... as a native KC boy I have been so many times... sooo much brisket, sooo many burnt ends. Lots of great Q in KC, this one is just one of my faves.

Food looks amazing. I wish I was there NOW. Why did I have to watch this video?

👏👏👏👏
Great segment! Our KC BBQ is on championship level!
I used to live a few blokcs from this location. KC has spoiled me for BBQ. I actually prefer my brisket thin cut, it works out better in sandwich format
Give Wayne Garrett the credit he deserves. Its an art. Hes like Bob Ross of the BBQ pit
I have a Bottle of Arthur Bryant’s BBQ Sauce in my Cupboard right now and I Live in St. Louis. 😬👍🙏
I’m from St Louis never had Arther Bryant’s but I rock with Gates
Got to love when someone not from KC posts a video saying a place is #1 when it's lucky to be on top 10 lists in 2024.
An appropriate title would be something about one of KC's oldest BBQ joints, but if you try KC BBQ passing through don't be misled by video titles like this.
Thank you. This place is not good at all. Living off glory days.
Living an hour and half from KC I can say without any hesitation that Arthur Bryant’s is my favorite KC BBQ spot and I have tried many.
Go to bs barbecue in Greenville nc and get the chicken and barbecue combo. You better get there by 10 30 am because they sell out
I respect Arthur Bryant's for its enriched history, however, for me, Gates BBQ is LIFE for me :). Also, I'll tell you what, if Arthur Bryant's or KC would decide to expand into the Atlanta, GA market area where BBQ isn't the best in this area, AB's or Gates would definitely take over the Atlanta, GA BBQ market easily.
Yes, if there's better BBQ, I want to go there. Arthur Bryant's was the best I've had and the BBQ places in Texas are a distant second.
Awesome, check out these three spots next 👉 ua-cam.com/video/NbxXTYw51h0/v-deo.html

Never ate Bryant’s sauce after that first grit. Nobody in my family eats the sauce, or food. Too many rats and roaches.
@@Havingthetimeofmylife2008 check the pest control boxes at any restaurant
@@Havingthetimeofmylife2008WELL DAMN...GONE AND TELL HOW YOU REALLY FEEL😂😂😂 IT'S BEEN ABOUT 20 YEARS FOR ME
I was lucky enough to be a guest there to say the food was amazing would be a understatement, but I can say this is the most fun you can have with your clothes on!!!
Attention to detail in a professional way is amazing

Been there once when passing through(2005ish). First time I ever even heard of burnt ends. Awesome!
Unless things have changed.. you better know what you want when you walk up to order. They don't play around and will yell at you if you aren't ready. At least that was what I saw when I ate there on several trips to KC. Also.. being from Texas it's good BBQ, but still nothing beats Texas BBQ.
Two corrections ... it's Gates BBQ where they shout out "Hi, may I help you?" upon getting in line to get your order. And two, KC is the #1 BBQ!
Jack Stacks in KC.
You sound like the type of person nobody wants to be around. Congrats
The sausage log sliced up is brilliant.
AB is historic in KC, gotta be honest, the last 2 times I’ve been the food was objectively substandard. I wrote this comment with the only hope that someone will bring it back to its former glory!?
Yeah because they sold the restaurant to a corp
Terrible - been trying it for the last 5 years - always trying to give them a “chance”.
What a fool… shoulda went to gates u fell for the easiest trick in the book… coming to kc n not going to gates..
Six generations of my family have crossed the threshold of that door. It's literally right down the street from me. One thing that you might not know if you're not from here is the sauce is to help if the meat doesn't taste right - if the meat is smoked right, you shouldn't need any sauce at all. My grandfather said that tradition comes from the days when heating/cooling meats with various elements (cold storage that needed blocks of ice, etc)
