Kansas City is known for many things—jazz, Harry S Truman, our fountains, a blatant disregard for prohibition in the 1920s, Ernest Hemingway, incredible museums, four-time Super Bowl Champs, and two-time World Series Champs—but mostly, we’re known for our world-famous Kansas City BBQ.
Kansas City is renowned for the succulent, tangy, and sweet chokehold it has on smokers and grills across the world. And yet, no can can ever agree on who serves the best barbecue in town! This is why Kansas City On the Cheap is holding the definitive KC BBQ Madness Championship vote.
In honor of March Madness, we’re voting bracket-style, starting with a field of 32.
Due to the sheer number of BBQ joints in Kansas City, we had to exclude food trucks. But keep your eye out—we’ll be voting on them soon!
Remember to come back on Wednesday, March 13, 2024, to find out who made it to the Sweet Sixteen and to vote in the next round!
