"Arthur Bryant's isn't just any barbecue restaurant – it's widely considered to be one of the best (and most famous) in the US. And for good reason, too; a long history and a knock-your-socks-off special barbecue sauce has cemented Arthur Bryant's as a Kansas City must-try. Various presidents, from Harry S.
