Hi everyone, taking a trip to Kansas City in mid feb. my daughter will be fencing in the junior olympics ! So the question is what's the best BBQ joint to bring her to? Thanks for the help
But if you want great Q in a nice restaurant(thinking of impressing/rewarding) your daughter...this is it. The first time I walked in...I thought foo foo and figured the food would be too....not so this is excellent bbq.
I went to Zartaswhen I was there, it was pretty good. I wouldn't say it was the best I've ever had or anything. Our friends that live there like Zartas for some things. But pr der Joes, I've also heard that Smokin Guns is supposed to be good. I'm looking foreword to going back and trying more.
The staples are gates and Arthur Bryant but my favorite was Oklahoma Joe's (now named Joe's Kansas city bbq) though to be honest KC doesn't know jack about smoking meat. Nothing I tried came close to even mediocre Texas BBQ.
Now sauces KC has down and almost makes up for their lack of attention to the actual smoking of meats.
I liked Jack stacks, I do really want to try plowboys next trip, I have heard it's awesome. There are a couple threads on this recently linked below, and an article that was pretty decent. Good luck to your daughter, what a great accomplishment!
