Since leaving the midwest (Lincoln Nebraska), I have been in search
of adequate barbeque in the Northeast. I have found some surpassingly
good barbeque in Syracuse, New York at the Dinosaur Barbeque,
and in North Lawrence, New York at the Alamo Grill. North Lawrence
is near the Canadian border and the Akwasasne Indian reservation.
A surprisingly
good place, which also features occasional Blues artists such
as Sonny Rhodes. None these places approaches Kansas City Barbeque,
however. I've had Haywoods, Bryants, Gates, and Roselands in K.C.
I've eaten BBQ in Lexington, N.C., and at Aleck's BBQ Heaven in
Atlanta. These approach K.C., but do not surpass for my taste
buds. Would love to find out about some real BBQ in Northeastern
Ohio or Western Pennsylvania.

We get a lot of email from people all over the country who feel
the same way you do. This web page started out to be just about
Kansas City BBQ and obviously is growing past that. There is some
very good BBQ in other parts of the country. However people who
have tasted KC BBQ and then had to leave do indeed feel exiled
to another world. Here are some portions of email sent to us.
From: ED "Glad to see that KC BBQ finally got on the Web.
It was signed
Ed a KCBS member in BBQ-starved Syracuse, NY"
From: Craig "Your home page is a welcome spot for someone
like me. I
have been exiled to the Pacific Northwest for over seven years
and miss
K. C. BBQ. My family still uses bottles of Gates Sauce as forms
of barter."
From: Greg "For a former KC Resident, this is a great way
to keep in touch
with the great BBQ of KC. I sure miss it!" Huntsville, Alabama
From: Seth "I live for KC barbeque (genetic inheritance from
my father I
think)" Cedar Rapids, Iowa
From: Bryan "Used to live in Shawnee at the corner of 75th
and Quivira, and
on a good day, could get a whiff of Zarda's from down the road.
There
is NO good BarBQ out this way. New Jersey

Has anyone in the NYC area tried "The Pit" on the West
Side Hwy. and About 14 st.? I past it a few times in route to
jobsites but its in the a.m. and not open yet. Its right near
the meat packers depots. (no pun intended)
