Kansas City-style ribs · Kansas City

Pork spareribs trimmed St Louis-style, dry-rubbed and slow-smoked over hickory until the meat pulls cleanly, glazed with thick Kansas City sauce in the final 15 minutes.

Kansas City pitmasters built the spare-rib programme out of the African American barbecue tradition Henry Perry brought from Shelby County, Tennessee in 1908. The cooking method spread through the Bryant, Gates and Stehney families to the modern competition circuit. Burnt ends get the headlines; ribs are the locals' second-favourite plate.
