Wil Myers Slams KC Barbecue; Malcontent Likely to Be Traded Soon

With the Royals outfield seemingly set for the future with Alex Gordon, Lorenzo Cain and Jeff Francoeur, there have been whispers that outfield phenom Wil Myers could be the odd man out and instead be used as trade bait to land a starting pitcher. Those rumors came to a head yesterday when Myers slammed Kansas City barbecue in a cry for attention that certainly acted in effect as a trade demand.

On his twitter page, Myers had this to say:

Myers BBQ

If you are at all familiar with Kansas City-area area codes, you will know that (336) is NOT a local area code. That is Lexington, North Carolina, the minor leagues of barbecue when compared to Kansas City.

Of course Myers' tweet sparked blistering rebuttals from Kansas Citians, causing Myers to lash out in response. The relationship between Myers and Royals fans has been irrevocably damaged and the team would be more inclined more than ever to move him while he still has value.

Myers' preference of course would be a trade that would send him closer to his beloved Lexington Barbecue. Lexington is close to Charlotte, the top affiliate for the White Sox. The Tampa Bay Rays have a top AAA affiliate in nearby Durham. And the Atlanta Braves play six hours away from Lexington.

Its always sad when a prospect does something embarrassing to the franchise on twitter, leading to a trade out of town. But it has to be done. Never underestimate the power of social media.

Nothing to do with my sense of taste

Just my religion, I only eat Kosher food. As such, I have a different place, which I just discovered last week – Smokey Joe’s BBQ in Teaneck, NJ. I have no idea if the flavor is from the KC BBQ tradition or other (I think it’s more Texas), but it is hands down the best kosher BBQ that I’ve ever tasted.

Does Blue Smoke or R.U.B.

sell Kosher meat? Those are both top-flight KC style BBQ joints in NYC

Neither establishment is kosher

A restaurant can’t sell both kosher and non-kosher. If they use their kitchen to cook non-kosher stuff, then anything cooked with those utensils will be non-kosher. According to Jewish law (somewhat simplified), heat causes the flavor of the non-kosher item to be transferred to the utensil, and would cause that flavor to be disgorged back into a kosher item that is cooked on it.

Pulled pork is the only redeeming quality of Carolina style

even then after plently of mop sauce I still like to add some Memphis-style sauce. Ribs and Brisket in Carolina style is pretty tough to bear.

I've Had Carolina

Barbecue in Elizabeth City, on the Atlantic coast. It’s not my to taste at all. They have barbecue sauce on the table, but they only use a spiced vinegar during cooking. If you put sauce on it, someone will always say “Y’all put ketchup on that?” It looks like Lexington style is a little more conventional. From Wilipedia:

Carolina barbecue is usually pork, served pulled, shredded, or chopped, but sometimes sliced. It may also be rubbed with a spice mixture before smoking and mopped with a spice and vinegar liquid during smoking.

Two styles predominate in different parts of North Carolina. Eastern North Carolina barbecue is made by the use of the “whole hog”, where the entire pig is barbecued and the meat from all parts of the pig are chopped and mixed together. Eastern North Carolina barbecue also uses a thin sauce made of spices and vinegar. Western North Carolina barbecue is made from only the pork shoulder, which is mainly dark meat, and uses a thicker sweetened tomato-based sauce. Western North Carolina barbecue is also known as Lexington barbecue, after the town of Lexington, North Carolina, home to many barbecue restaurants and a large barbecue festival, the Lexington Barbecue Festival.1112

Probably Kreuz or Smitty's ...

which are owned by different sides of a feuding family. I went to college in San Antonio and lived with a Lockhart native, so we made several trips there for ‘cue. They’ve got this odd grudge against sauce — there’s none to be found. Regardless, the sausage and pork chops were good, but I’ll take Bryant’s beef over anything out of Lockhart.

Smitty's has the old school feel

Kreutz’s was the original name at the location that Smitty’s now inhabits. Smitty’s is awesome.

I also like Black’s in Lockhart, which is cafeteria style.

As for the best, I’ll get to that in a second.

The best BBQ I've had is in Austin.

It used to be that you’d have to drive to Luling or Lockhart or Llano or Taylor or Driftwood for the truly great BBQ places. The granddaddy of the Taylor places is Louie Mueller. To make a long story short, his son John had opened up a place on the East Side of Austin but ran it into the ground. One of his employees, Aaron Franklin bought the smoker and started running a BBQ stand in an empty parking lot along the frontage road of I-35 in Central Austin. The line would start around 9:30 or 10:00 AM. He’d open for business at 11:00 and sell-out within an hour and a half. They were so successful so fast that they went into a proper brick-and-mortar location just east of I-35 on 11th St. He got a second smoker, so now they don’t run out of food everyday until about 1:30. Franklin’s BBQ is the best I’ve ever had. It’s better than The Salt Lick. It’s better than Arthur Bryant’s. It’s better than Lambert’s. It’s better than Smittys. It’s better than Black’s.

Bon Appetit concurs, having posited that it may indeed be the best BBQ in the country setting off quite the kerfuffle in the BBQ community. The brisket is fucking otherworldly. The ribs are amazing. Hell, the turkey is the best turkey I’ve ever had in my life. The Tipsy Texan is an insane deal.

It keeps demand up.

Lots of great, profitable places are only open for lunch. You only need to staff one shift. You are busy every day with a line two-blocks long (not exaggerating) for lunch. You build up word of mouth complete with the stories of waiting in line and then having this fantastic food served by the man responsible for it. Foodies eat that shit up. He bought that second smoker a few months ago, but they are dealing with a spatial issue, and all the meat is smoked for 18 hours.

The son of Louie Mueller, who the Franklin’s original smoker came from, opened up a place recently that’s in a trailer in South Austin, but I haven’t been there yet. It’s supposed to also be awesome. Texas Monthly’s cover story this month is about the two places.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Being the hot new place is all fine and dandy, but they have a line that long every day they’re open and have for coming up on two years since moving into that storefront. It’s the first place anyone mentions when they talk about where somebody should eat in town. People carve out a chunk of their day to go there. It’s an experience. In a certain sense, it is almost better to have people not being able to go but wanting to desperately.

It seems to me that his business model has worked well so far and will likely continue to do so as long as the food can stand on its own merits. The old adage about wanting what you can’t have is apropos here and has certainly driven them this far.

I really need to try JMueller’s on S 1st.

Of the Austin places, I have a soft-spot for Ruby’s. I love their pulled pork sandwich (I’ve probably had it about 150 times, no joke) and their sauce clicks with me. Lambert’s is great, but I have a hard time justifying dropping ~$80 on BBQ for two when there are so many great options for much, much less. I’ve had Iron Works and Pok-E-Joe’s a lot (work related) and don’t particularly like either. Artz and Green Mesquite are both all right, but I’d never go out of my way for either. I’ve never been particularly impressed by Stubb’s. I’ve always wanted to try House Park, but its hours suck for me. I’ve heard mixed reviews of Live Oak, but nothing that has me salivating.

Every now and then I'll be driving down Main Street past that Gates location

and think “What if I started going there to do my drinking?” They have what appears to be a full bar.

Is this seriously what its going to come to? Bar-b-que?

Wow! There really is no news if all we have to talk about is a small tweet made by Myers. You can’t look too much into it. The kid was just giving his opinion on a restraunt, not calling shots on KC. Look, kids always have dumb thoughts, in fact, they need time for their brains to develop, he is just a kid, with too much power to social media. Don’t read too much into it

You don't get it, man

This kid took a big, steaming dump on KC. This was a huge F-You to the city, the region and our very way of life. Forget about every signing him to a long-term contract. Trade his stupid ass now!

Just BBQ?

Is baseball just a game? Is apple pie just a dessert? Is the American flag just a big handkerchief? Wil Myers is insulting our entire way of life.

Again,

kids haven’t always had the tools to mass communicate like this. And throwing these tools in front of an undeveloped brain is just asking for blunt statements. Look, bottom line is the kid just expressed his opinion about BBQ. He didn’t know it would cause all of this arguement
