Inducted April 16, 2007
Our first inductee into the KANSASCITYBARBECUE.COM Barbecue Hall of Fame is of course Arthur Bryant. What can we say that hasn’t already been said. He not only made some of the best barbecue in town, but he also put Kansas City’s unique barbecue style on the map.
As the owner of Arthur Bryant’s at 18th and Brooklyn in Kansas City, MO he was a pioneer who never deviated from his style, even as he, his sauce and restaurant became legendary.
To many, Arthur Bryant’s Barbeque is considered the best restaurant in the world. He is the King of Kansas City Barbeque, and it was Arthur Bryant who made Kansas City the epicenter of the barbecue world.
We salute Arthur Bryant and the legacy he has bestowed upon Kansas City and the World of Barbecue!
