Not going to even venture a guess as to how many times Carlie has screamed that! :lol:
When I first moved to the KC area some 20 years ago, I was a big Hayward's fan. I STILL love their sauce more than others, so will buy it at the grocery store for home.
I have a "standard lunch date" every month with our IT consultant at our office, who loves Gates and since there's a Gates within a few blocks from my office, that's where we go once a month (in fact, going there tomorrow). My standard order there now is "Beef on bun from the butt end!"
But for sit-down dining, I have become a Jack Stack fan, and generally go to the one behind Union Station (you access it off of 20th Street by Manny's, which could be a whole 'nother thread on best Mexican in Kansas City, but I digress....). The beans are good there, but wouldn't rate them as highly as some other BBQ places. The cheesy corn bake is awesome. The onion rings are HUGE! As far as entrees, the burnt ends are very tasty, but my favorite order is the Crown Prime Rib, or as I call them, the Flinstone Ribs. All you get are three ribs but they are huge and fall-off-the-bone delicious. Back when I weighed 100 pounds more than I do now, I could polish off all three plus the sides in one sitting (probably why I weighed what I did, huh?). Now, I barely get through one, but that leaves plenty for several lunches days later.
Oh, look..! It's lunch time...![/b]
