Are you a joeskc fan or a jackstackbbq stan? Do you prefer gatesbbqkc or arthurbryantskc? Nobody knows Kansas City barbecue better than Kansas Citians. A couple of weeks ago, we asked you to nominate your favorite barbecue restaurants, and we heard from plenty of you, extolling the “fantastic,” “amazing,” “best anywhere” meat, sauce and sides. But which one is really the best? We gathered the 16 restaurants that pulled in the most nominations from readers and cooked up our 2022 Kansas City Barbecue Bracket. This week we’re starting with the Savory 16 for you to vote on. Week by week, we’ll narrow it down to a Delicious 8, Flavorful 4, Tasty 2 and then The Winner. For this round, you have until 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 30, to vote. Head to the link in our bio to make your choice. ✏️ Joyce Smith #KansasCity #KCBBQ #KansasCityBarbecue #KCFoodie #BBQ #BarbecueBracket
