3d Madison, WI to Austin, TX roadtrip, suggestions?

I'm planning on driving from Wisconsin to Texas over Memorial Day weekend. Mostly following I-35 but am planning detour via Lincoln, Nebraska (I am visiting state capitals) and Kansas City (BBQ). Probably the schedule is:

d1 Madison,WI to Lincoln, NE via Dubuque, Des Moines, Omaha

d2 Lincoln, NE to Kansas City to Wichita/Tulsa(?) via Topeka

d3 Wichita/Tulsa(?) to Austin via Oklahoma City, Dallas

I won't have a huge amount of time to stop in places, but any interesting restaurants, sites, etc to see in would be welcome. Good place for cheese curds in WI, best BBQ in KC, etc. I'm fine with TX but haven't been to the other cities before.

I'm traveling solo (49m) but might be up for giving a lift if anyone needs a ride.
