I actually ate at one of these places about 17 years ago! It was in my trucking days and a two of our trucks got an assignment to go to Kansas City that is all the experieced drivers talked about. They told me how it was in the worst part of the city and how since it was so famous and so many famous people had eaten there, that the mayor had added extra cops to protect the area blah, blah blah, about all the roaches and how small it was, what a dive but how good the food was. I think we talked about it for a day & a half or so. I have to say I was disappointed (& I think they were too,) when we got there and the place had doubled in size, still small but no roaches :-( actually pretty clean! but there was still that brick oven with that slow cooking meat. you could see in to all that meat slowly cooking and the guy turning it moving it around just looking for the right peice. It was really great! ANyone been there Lately?? ARTHUR BRYANT'S 1727 Brooklyn Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri; 816-231-1123 Old man Bryant may have passed on to the great pit in the sky, but the rough-and-tumble barbecue joint he left behind still serves the best damn brisket and "burnt edges" (brisket trimmings) in Kansas City, not to mention french fries that are still fried in lard.
