No. 45: Barbecued-pork bun from 888 International Market

To whet your appetite for The Pitch’s annual Best of Kansas City issue in
October, we’re celebrating our favorite 50 dishes from restaurants,
bakeries, coffeehouses, bars, drugstores, saloons, and other metro
joints. Until October 7, we’ll feature one outstanding dish or beverage
each weekday. Agree with us or make your own suggestions — just don’t
come between us and these fantastic things to eat or drink.
Salty? Check. Lightly sweet? Check. Porky? Check. The barbecued-pork bun from 888 International Market (10118 West 119th Street, Overland Park) could be the cheapest entry in our favorite 50 dishes — it’s just $1.10 — but that doesn’t mean it’s short on happiness.
