Mets fans enjoy Kansas City's cuisine ahead of World Series

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WABC) -- New York Mets fans are traveling to support the team in Kansas City, and they're enjoying the cuisine offered by the area while some transplants showed Eyewitness News where to find some hometown favorites.

There are ribs piled high, dry or slathered in sauce, it's Kansas City barbecue at its finest.

Arthur Bryant's is where President Harry Truman was a regular and folks have been going there for generations. And yes, it's located on Brooklyn Street.

But if barbecue's not your thing, just over the border in Mission, Kansas is a place called Italian Delight. It was started by James Avelutto's father. In the 70s he visited Kansas City for a Yankees-Royals game and never left.

But how's the pizza? Well ask the Schuelline's who were out enjoying a pie. They moved to Kansas City from Queens Village 15 years ago. They say they finally found "real" New York City pizza there at last.
