Does this mean that when I visit a Kansas City I should ask on Reddit where to get the best Shrimp Mozambique?

Sure! I could recommend a few good seafood places.

The joke is that our barbecue ain't that good. Texans and Kansans don't often agree about barbecue, but you'll probably agree that even RI's best would be considered average in a place known for barbecue. I moved here from Texas almost 7 years ago, and the barbecue and chicken friend steak just don't scratch that itch. It's good, but folks are picky about barbecue. Thankfully you already hit all the best food spots! Good luck 😃

I was going to say about the same. I’m from upstate NY originally… I’ve had Durks and they don’t even come close to Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse. Most likely you’ll be disappointed anywhere you try.

From Georgia here... where do you get chicken fried steak in RI?

I was thinking Chowder & Clamcakes. When is low tide on the Missouri?

Yes you can find decent BBQ in the area but the OP shouldn't expect to find something equal to that from one of the BBQ epicenters of the country. Durks is good but it leans towards the Texas style not KC, so there's that too.

Shrimp Mozambique sounds pretty good BTW. I'd encourage the OP try to some Portuguese/Cape Verde cuisine before leaving the area. It's one of our somewhat under the radar regional specialties that isn't easy to find in most parts of the US.
