Woodyard Bar-B-Que - Kansas City, KS

The most smoke flavor can be savored in the Woodyard's burnt ends, available in a sandwich or, the day we visited, as the topping for chili. What a great idea! The chili is a multi-bean brew, fairly mild; and the big pile of meat atop it is a kaleidoscope of pieces that range from velvet-soft to crisp or chew.

A Texan might accuse the Woodyard pitmaster of making an end run around the Lone Star bean prohibition, but we think the combination of mild bean chili and burnt ends atop it is inspired. This is not always on the menu, but if it is when you visit, I highly recommend it.

Everything you need to dress up your chili -- including Fritos -- is arrayed on a table near the door to the patio. Nice as these looked, I ate mine au naturel.

Here is a burnt-end sandwich that I got to go. Unfortunately I forgot to get a fork to go with it, so it became finger food.

The ambience of this rustic barbecue is delightful. If you dine outside, sweet smoke from the pit will waft across the table.

If you've got a pit of your own, the Woodyard has the logs you need.
