When it comes to competition, the American Royal is as serious as it gets. Like many of the events covered in this guide, the barbecue contest is only one part of a greater opus; in the case of this Kansas City classic, almost 40 events dot the calendar from April through November.
The American Royal season includes livestock shows, parades, races, auctions, rodeos, a Texas hold ’em tournament and an event called the Unbelievable Horse Happening. I’ve always hoped that someone would hear my plea for an M. Night Shyamalan buddy flick starring Mark Wahlberg and Mr. Ed; this might as close as the universe ever gets.
