The world’s first barbecue museum will be opened soon!

The new Museum of Barbecue, opening next year, is a unique destination for lovers of this popular food culture. Taking a comprehensive look at the history and variety of barbecue cooking methods, from barbecued meats to seasoned ribs and smoked brisket, the museum provides visitors with an opportunity to explore the many facets of the culinary art. If you are interested in smoked food and the rich culture associated with it, the Barbecue Museum is a place you should not miss.

Jonathan Bender, the founder of the Barbecue Museum, said in an interview with CNN Travel:

With its strong flavors, the barbeque will attract the attention of any distinguished person. After going to two barbecue restaurants, you too can comment on the quality of the barbecue food served at the restaurants and which one is better.

The first barbecue museum in the world, located in Kansas City, Missouri, will undoubtedly start hot debates and competitions about barbecue in the region; Of course, some people believe that such a museum that deals with the skillful art of cooking meat, would have been better built in other areas such as Texas, the Carolinas, Memphis or Tennessee.

The barbecue museum introduces different regions and styles of barbecue with its interactive exhibits and first introduces visitors to the main elements of barbecue including meat, spices, wood, fire, smoke and sauce. Also, the museum’s gift shop offers sauces, spices and other barbecue-themed items. This museum is supposed to be opened in the spring of 2025 in a space of about 400 square meters in the “Crown Center” shopping center in Kansas City.

Bender, the founder of the Museum of Barbecue, is a writer who has been active in the field for more than 15 years and has participated as a judge at the “World Barbecue Competition at the Royal American” in Kansas City. He also made a documentary called “Burnt Legend” about the famous Kansas City barbecue. Alex Pope, chef and owner of the butcher shop Local Pig, is a partner of the museum.

Bender says about barbecue:

Barbecue is a great option for joint activities and gatherings.

He adds:

Butchers and barbecue masters are some of the best storytellers I’ve ever met. Barbecue is not only a food; It is a culture.

If you’re looking for a delicious and unique barbecue experience, Kansas City is the place to go. With more than 100 local barbecue restaurants and various competitions, including the World Barbecue Championships held every year at the end of October, the city is known as one of the main hubs of this culture.

The barbecue culture in Kansas City is undeniable. This culture not only reflects the diversity of American food, but is also known as a place for social gatherings and celebrations.

According to Bandar:

Barbeque is an authentic and delicious food, and you can’t rush to cook it. This culture is a part of American history and creates connection and solidarity in different communities.
