If you like barbecue, and even if you don't (it and fried chicken are the most typical foods of the city) you will find six, count 'em, six of america's top 100 Cue joints (from _Real Barbecue_) Boyd's 'n' Son: The best brisket (and ohhh, is it good!) rated "As good as we've ever had." Hayward's Pit Bar-B-Que: the best burnt ends (yum, yum) rated "Real, real good." [in Overland Park, KS.] The others I wasn't able to try: (all rated Real Good) Arthur Bryants: the best legend Gates & Son Bar-B-Q: the best ribs Rosedale: the best barbecue sandwich The Grand Emporium: the best music Jane & Michael Stern recommend (from the all-new _Roadfood_) Smokestack Bar-B-Que Snead's Barbecue as well as several places for fried chicken.
