Royals’ Danny Duffy takes shot at New York barbecue on Twitter
Royals left-hander Danny Duffy said he returned to Twitter after a long hiatus in part to be an advocate for Kansas City.
On Tuesday, Duffy championed Kansas City barbecue.
Here’s how things began — with this from a web site named Eater.
Watch out, Texas. New York is on its way to being a barbecue capital https://t.co/XzG0UBZ5fJ pic.twitter.com/dmaq1SIhzp

Hmmmm. That does sound suspicious, right?
Well, Duffy certainly thought so because he tweeted this:
Um.... yall mean like JV BBQ capital or.. https://t.co/THAJjJGaq5

Zing!
That was music to the ears of Kansas Citians. Here are some of the responses to Duffy’s tweet.

@Duff805 actually Texas BBQ is the JV team. New York is like the incoming Frosh team.

Duffy is apparently a fan of Joe’s Kansas City Barbecue. The Z-man is Joe’s signature sandwich and Duffy tweeted about that as well.
