The jalapeno cheddarwurst from Fritz’s Smoked Meats brings the heat

The parking lot at Fritz’s Smoked Meats (10326 State Line Road, Leawood) is rich with the smells and sounds of tailgaiting — the sharp sting of smoke, the light crackle of sizzling fat. The black smoker sits chugging on the concrete only feet from the front door. While your instinct is to simply grab a sausage off the grill, you’ll have to head inside to buy your lunch.
