Kansas City: Arthur Bryant's
KC's "king of ribs" has hosted everyone from Harry Truman to Jack Nicholson, but has never grown too big for its britches. Guests chow down in the original cafeteria-style dining room, choosing from the grub that has made Bryant's famous—most memorably the pork rib sandwiches lathered in the restaurant's signature sauce: a thin, red-orange vinegar concoction with a sharp, spicy finish, whipped up from a closely guarded recipe. Arthur Bryant's has expanded with two additional Kansas City–area locations—make sure to visit the original Brooklyn Avenue spot. 1727 Brooklyn Ave., 816/231-1123, rib sandwich $10.
