I just posted a bunch of BBQ sauces and rubs on my blog site which is listed below. About 30 years ago the Kansas City Star conducted a tasting of all the commercial BBQ sauces that were widely distributed at the time. They concluded that the best one was Gates & sons which is one of the oldest BBQ restaurants in Kansas City. Arthur Bryant's sauce came as one of the next highest ratings. About 15 or 20 years ago Ollie Gates provided the recipe for that sauce on a Martha Stewart show. That recipe is provided on the site I mentioned earlier. This sauce is not what most people call Kansas City style. The thing about" KC BBQ sauce" is that most people base it on KC Masterpiece which is a tomatoey molasses sauce. Most Kansas City BBQers are not all that big of fans of that sauce. Actually many competition BBQers do not sauce their meats. Texan BBQers say they don't serve sauce on their meat or on the side because they don't have anything to hide. 
I have attempted to copy Arthur Bryant's original sauce and people tell me it's close. His sauce didn't have any tomatoes. I think it does now that it has passed out of his family's control.
But most people think meat isn't really BBQ if it does not come with BBQ sauce and my preference generally tends to kinds that taste a lot like steak sauce rather than sweet and sticky.
