Kansas city native here, born and raised ❤💛🖤🤍 I'm full of hometown pride, and I'm also a home cook.

As a native, I want to say thank you guys for going to these lesser known joints like big T's 😊 everybody knows Arthur's, gates, and LC's but we love our food truck culture here, and love a small business.

I'd love to see you two do a taco/mexican hidden gems in kc, where youd go to any of the places on southwest across from la bodega, or cali kc in independence. Thank you guys for doing my great town justice and showcasing the little guys 🎉

I'm going to KC this weekend and cannot wait for the bbq, thanks for this lil tour!

[AshkenaziChristian]

Wow, the Asian fusion BBQ looks so delicious and such a perfect marriage of flavors that I'm ready to hop in my car and drive from Albuquerque to KC!

Erin, thanks SO MUCH for looking at KC BBQ through a different lens. I haven't been to any of these yet, but they're now all on my list! The fusion of Mexican and BBQ is so KC, love it. I've enjoyed Thai Place for years, so that combo looks insane!

Love this ! Have went to kc all my life, have family there and plan to move there in a few years (live outside of Wichita now )Gave us some great ideas. It’s those little unknown hidden spots that have the best bbq !

What a fun episode! I’m from NC, and I now live in NY, but I’ve spent 18 of the last 20 summers in KC eating at some of these same places!

"Stay hungry and stay happy" = best slogan! I'd watch Erin do a food tour of any city, any day 💥

This has a very familiar format with Erin's lovely bubbly personality. I really enjoyed learning about KC BBQ as a Canadian! Keep up great work Erin!

Loved this video. 3 new hometown joints to try and 1 favorite (Big T's) getting some love. Hopefully there will be a part 2 to this at some point. I would like to nominate Woodyard for inclusion in that sequel.

GET HER A BBQ TRAVEL SHOW. she would enjoy it, and i think the rest of us would too.

I love Thai and BBQ, this restaurant has just moved to the top of my list of new places to try! My mouth is watering! I wanna go there right now! Lol

[Moriverlife]

We at Kansas City BBQ. You know we have our KC standards. The meat must be smoked, we have a brown sugar sauce not real vinegary. Potato salad is made with yellow mustard. We have different sauces. Mild, medium, and hot. True KC sauce is sweet and smokey. This is backed by the original rules of KC American Royal BBQ. Oh I almost forgot baked beans they are a masterpiece of KC flavors. We take great pride in our world class BBQ. Enjoy

As usual, always fun, always leaves me hungry. Thank you

Willie! What a great tour of KC BBQ! The Thai place looked especially exceptional!

[aimeewynhausen]

I've had three of the four and they are all delicious - and bbq isn't even my favorite thing. This is so great!

You should’ve checked out LC’s, they got pork burnt ends there. I always get the half and half for half beef and half pork burnt ends.
