Danny Edwards Boulevard BBQ on Southwest Boulevard in Kansas City has been a city BBQ institution since Danny Edwards opened it, smoking brisket, burnt ends, and the slow-cooked meats that the Kansas City BBQ tradition is built around in a setting that earns a working-class Boulevard neighborhood its most celebrated smokehouse. It appeared in Season 18, Episode 7 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “All Kinds of Gobble Gobble,” which aired November 18, 2013. Guy Fieri found a Kansas City pit kitchen doing the city’s BBQ tradition with the quality and authenticity that earns a local smokehouse its place in the conversation alongside the legendary Kansas City operations that have defined American BBQ culture.

What to Eat
The Burnt Ends — the caramelized, smoky brisket point pieces that Kansas City invented and that no other BBQ city has matched — are the signature that earns Danny Edwards its Kansas City reputation. The Smoked Brisket with proper bark and the rendered fat that Kansas City low-and-slow produces is the pit centerpiece. The Ribs with the Kansas City sweet-spicy glaze that the city’s BBQ tradition is built around are the other item most regulars add to any brisket order. Find a Kansas City hotel on Travelocity.
