Johnny's Bar-B-Q (Mission, KS), RJ's Bob-Be-Que Shack (Mission, KS), Smokin' Guns BBQ (North Kansas City, MO), Woodyard Bar-B-Que (Kansas City, KS)

This trip Guy's on the inside track to Kansas City barbeque. In an industrial neighborhood, an award winning pit master serving up the KC specialty, burnt ends. In a southern suburb, a classically trained chef putting his spin on smoked pork. Then just down the street, a joint where they're taking barbequed chicken to the deep fryer. And at an old wood yard, mixing up a one-of-a kind rub for baby back ribs.
