SENDJOESKCBBQ

In 1990, Jeff and Joy attended a barbecue contest for the first time, at the invitation of a friend. "We had a great time," Jeff says. "I loved everything about it. The smoke. The smell of it. The camaraderie. The competition. The passion. And, of course, the food. I was hooked. I knew then and there this was something I had to do."... The Stehneys soon bought a competition-style smoker and, together with a few friends, formed a barbecue team. They called it Slaughterhouse Five... The original Joe's Kansas City BBQ, born out of a gas station in Kansas City and world-famous for our ribs, Z-man, brisket, more! Stop by or send BBQ online.
