The battles that MLB proposed on X were Kansas City\u2019s Z-Man from Joe\u2019s KC BBQ up against STL\u2019s BBQ Nachos, and Kauffman Stadium\u2019s Beef Short Rib Corn Dog vs. Busch Stadium\u2019s Hot Dog Burnt Ends.<\/p>\n

Fans and foodies sounded off in the comments, with the majority seeming to side with the western side of the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cI vote Royals, impossible to beat a good Z-Man after 9 innings!\u201d one fan wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cZ-Man reigns supreme but I do want to try the hot dog burnt ends,\u201d another responded.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, the Royals\u2019 Brisketacho, a helmet full of smoked brisket on top of chips, with toppings piled high, didn\u2019t make it into MLB\u2019s proposed debate between ballpark BBQ. However, regardless of how this weekend\u2019s I-70 series turns out, Kansas City seemed to win the BBQ debate on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
