Fans got a laugh out of MLB comparing KC and St. Louis ballpark barbecue
The Royals open a three-game series Friday night in St. Louis in the latest chapter of the I-70 Showdown.
Major League Baseball, God bless ‘em, tried to stir up the rivalry off the field this week by asking this question on social media: Which side of the state has the better barbecue at their ballpark.
Well, duh.
The barbecue in Kansas City is not only tops in the Show-Me State. It’s the best in the world. And one of KC’s best barbecue restaurants has a spot at Kauffman Stadium: Joe’s Kansas City.
If you come for any game at The K and you can treat yourself to a Z-man. The Royals also are offering a beef short rib corndog, which is a twist on traditional barbecue fare.
Meanwhile, the offerings at Busch Stadium that were highlighted by MLB: BBQ nachos and hot dog burnt ends. If the latter doesn’t make your stomach churn just a little, then I’d suggest you get to one of our fine barbecue establishments.
Fans made it clear to MLB that it was no contest. Here is a bit of what fans were saying as they let the league know it was foolish to ask the question.
