Chet,
Are you saying the jerk pork from Border Jerk in Mackfield was better than the K.C. ribs? That's high praise indeed. I have been to Border Jerk a few times, it is very good, but I always imagined the K.C. ribs to be unbeatable. Hope to get to K.C., almost did twenty years ago.
On that day in that moment, w/o even an expectation of having pork cross my lips I would say that Border landed in the top 5 at #1. One thing about BBQ is that each person has their own taste (enter a competition sometime and look at the judges sheets at the end of the day - they have 7 judges for a reason) , not to mention sub categories like slaw and beans.Originally Posted by sunray

Please do K.C., the overall experience can not be matched (although Memphis is fun), you could do 7 days of nothing but BBQ joints and still be confused as to what is best.
Not that many years ago the parking lot at Arrowhead before a Chiefs game could give many joints in town a run for their money, wouldn't reccomend the Chiefs game now (l.o.l. I say this as a lifetime Chiefs fan that has seen it all) but the parking pass would be an interesting stop on a BBQ tour.
I have won many awards in a lifetime of competition and service. But the highest was offered without plaque or fanfare on a hilltop in post Ivan Jamaica. A true Rasta and a dear friend observed "Chet you are like a father of men, you see need and fulfill that need without being asked". Let us be travelers and not tourist.
Bourbon Beach has great Ribs.........

Chet you nailed it about the parking lot at Arrowhead experience and that most folks born and raised in KC. are near expert bbqr's.
Sunray -- there is nothing like KC BBQ, so many good bbq joints besides the most famous big name places it would take months to hit them all. It truly is a culture in KC.
Bjritz -- Jackstack (fiorellas) poor Russ is a wicked sandwich.

Now I really want to get to K.C.! Twenty years ago, was on a road trip, with first stop being Chicago, had too much fun there and stayed longer than planned, next went to St. Louis, same thing happened as in Chicago, then had to give up on reaching K.C. that time, and start heading home. I know K.C. would have been awesome, and will be when I reach.
Where is the love for St. Louis BBQ? 17th Street Barbeque, Pappy's Smokehouse(Best in the Country!), and Roper's Ribs. 17th Street routinely gets voted best Ribs in the US!

I have enjoyed the jerk pork at Red Dragon a couple of times (although my personal preference is Ossies). Was not aware that Red Dragon served ribs??
Red Dragon doesn't serve ribs.
