Hot on the heels of Franklin Barbecue in Austin, President Obama stopped by the equally revered Arthur Bryant’s in Kansas City last night to hang out with some folks and eat some ‘cue. The president didn’t cut the line this time — as he did at Franklin — and instead just walked up to the window to order some ribs, a Bud Light, water, and fries. POTUS was also in the mood for some cole slaw, but the restaurant was out. “You didn’t save any for me?” the most powerful man in the world reportedly asked when informed of the outage. “Come on, man, I thought you were going to hook me up.”
