Arthur Bryant's - This BBQ legend was founded in the early 1920's, by Charlie Bryant, Arthur's older brother. When Charlie died, Arthur took over and moved the BBQ restaurant to 18th and Brooklyn, just four blocks away from Municipal stadium, the home of the Kansas City Blues, followed by the Kansas City Athletics. Municipal Stadium was also the first home of the Kansas City Chiefs.
With the move near to the ball park, it became a nationally known eatery. Major league players ate there and fans would stop in before the games to eat on the premises or take out to the ball park. The fame of Arthur Bryant's grew. Then renowned author Calvin Trillin declared in Playboy magazine that "...the single best restaurant in the world is Arthur Bryant's Barbeque at 18th & Brooklyn in Kansas City."*

Chowhound.com - Ethics Statement (from Alpha Hound Jim Leff) - I guard my anonymity and my opinion cannot be bought. I always pay my own tab, and this site will never contain restaurant advertising. May I eat nothing but Wendy's for the rest of my life if I ever offer less than purely objective chow advice.* 06/21/2006

Roadfood.com - Great regional meals along highways, in small towns and in city neighborhoods. It is sleeves-up food made by cooks, bakers, pitmasters, and sandwich-makers who are America’s culinary folk artists. Roadfood is almost always informal and inexpensive; and the best Roadfood restaurants are colorful places enjoyed by locals (and savvy travelers) for their character as well as their menu.* 06/21/2006
Wilber's Barbeque - About as good as Eastern North Carolina barbecue gets. Moist, vinegary meat with plenty of browns, great stew and great sides. Wiber's [sic] seems to mostly cook shoulders though there was one split hog smoking when I checked the smoke house.
45 minutes or so off of I-95, but nice country and well worth the trip. 4172 U.S. 70, East Goldsboro, NC, (919) 778-5218. Warranted a rating of 5 Grease Stains from Holly.* One of our own Fools, crobinso, told us about this restaurant and said, "I Had Me Some Wilber's!! Um, um, UM, UM, UM! It sure was good! Ah, Wilber's BBQ, what a unique taste treat." 04/21/2004
