Doesn't make much sense to go to a K. C. Masterpiece stand and not eat the K. C. Masterpiece sauce.

North of the river, try Marty's bbq on Antioch Road & Vivion. Take I-29 south from KCI to the Vivion Road exit. Go right (East) on Vivion road a few blocks- thru three lights, I think, until you come to the intersection of Antioch & Vivion. Marty's is on the Northwest corner, to your left, 2516 N. Vivion. Marty's is classic KC style, and pretty damn good. But they desperately need to update the early '80s decor of the place.

OR take the same route, but turn left on North Oak and drive a couple-few miles to about 63rd++ street, and Smokehouse BBQ is on the left, at 6304 N. Oak, past a Hardee's and an Italian joint. Excellent food. Considered by many the best barbecue north of the river.

Both of these will take about 20 minutes, at least, from KCI (traffic depending), but better than chain bbq (KC Masterpiece). Or take the extra time to go downtown to Jake's
