The Very Best Barbecue in Kansas City for Burnt Ends, Brisket, and Gigantic Turkey Legs
Ask any local about the best barbecue in Kansas City and you'll get no shortage of replies. As regional barbecue styles go, Kansas City might paradoxically be both the most recognizable and the hardest to pin down. Picture a generic 'barbecue sauce,' and odds are, you're thinking of something distinctively Kansas City. Almost every KC barbecue joint serves their own version of the sauce, which is typically tomato-based, full-bodied, and delicately balances sweet, heat, and tang—the real stuff is a 'masterpiece' above and beyond whatever you might find on a grocery store shelf. The meats are more varied. Henry Perry, the self-proclaimed 'barbecue king' of Kansas City, defined the city's style in the early 1900s by serving a little bit of everything to everyone. Deep in the Jim Crow era of segregation, Black and white Kansas Citians would converge on Perry's Barbecue to sample not only Perry's slow smoked beef and pork, but also mutton, possum, and raccoon. Today's pitmasters are still polymaths, adept at smoking brisket, ribs, hand-cranked sausages, turkey, and chicken. And while Perry's restaurant closed more than half a century ago, two of his proteges' spots—Gates and Arthur Bryant's—continue to represent the city's best barbecue today. At the same time, Kansas City's presence on the barbecue competition circuit has kept the scene fresh. The American Royal hosts the largest barbecue competition in the world in KC each year, and it has served as a launchpad for several modern institutions garnering countrywide attention.

They Had Come to Graduate. Their Minds Were on a Student Held by ICE.
The 50 students filed into a Bronx auditorium, chatting excitedly and snapping selfies while fixing the colorful sashes adorned with flags from 17 countries, forming a mosaic of nationalities: Dominican Republic, Honduras, Gambia, Senegal, Mali. Spanish and French filled the air as teary-eyed parents held balloons and watched their children, all of whom had migrated to the United States about four years ago, many not knowing a word of English back then. Out of the hundreds of graduations this month at New York City public schools, the one held by the Ellis Preparatory Academy was different. The Bronx high school of about 250 students is one of the few dedicated exclusively to recently arrived immigrants, many of whom may be undocumented or have tenuous legal status. But before they could get their diplomas, the school's principal felt compelled to interrupt the celebratory mood: She had to pay tribute to a Venezuelan student who was sitting in an immigration detention center about 275 miles away in Pennsylvania. 'One of our own was taken,' Norma Vega, the principal who founded the school in 2008, said on Tuesday. 'We want to make sure that no matter where we are, no matter where we go, that we always keep him in front and center.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
