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."
