Yes, There’s a Bean Pit: The Museum of BBQ Is Pure Kansas City

Only in Kansas City: the world’s first museum dedicated entirely to barbecue. The Museum of BBQ turns America’s smoky obsession into 10 interactive exhibits — in the city that considers itself the barbecue capital of the world, naturally.

You will learn how barbecue gets its flavor and what separates the four great American regions — the Carolinas, Memphis, Texas and Kansas City — then smell the components of spice, walk on sauce and take a dip in the bean pit. Yes, a bean pit. Pitmaster tips, fun surprises and a lineup of more than 150 curated sauces and rubs round out the visit.

Admission is just $10, rated 3.9 stars by its first visitors. It is deliciously weird, wonderfully educational and the perfect appetizer before a real Kansas City barbecue dinner.
