The Couscous Chronicles

If you like barbeque there is no better ‘que town in the world than Kansas City.  K.C. is special because the barbeque is slow cooked just right over hickory and the meat is excellent as historically this is and was a cow town.  While most folks like Arthur Bryants for their meat and Gates and Sons for their sauce, I like a little “hole in the wall” place at the intersection of Blue Parkway, Coal Mine and Sni-A-Bar Roads east of downtown called LC’s.

LC’s is extra special because they have a common dish on their menu called “burnt ends”.  It’s pork rib tips basted in LC’s tight spicy K.C. style sauce slow cooked over an open flame fire and smoked to perfection.  Completely sloppy eating and not complete without the requisite couple of pieces of white bread tossed into the take out box where the bread soaks up all the smokiness and flavor that is signature to good slow smoked K.C. BBQ.
