Nah their thing is they don’t need the sauce. Any sauce you use would ruin their rub

Agreed. Great BBQ doesn't need sauce. Good BBQ does. I use less and less of sauces these days. Too much sugar and fructose - doesn't work with keto/carnivore.

I would agree that some of it is super commercialized--especially the likes of Dickey's, Rudy's, and Bill Miller, of which our closest comparison might be Jack Stack or Gates Rudy's is almost doable if you can get them to cut and serve the brisket right. A lot of places in Texas cut off the burnt e...

We might have to stay for a week with all of these great recommendations. Thanks all.

I am definitely a Pastrami Rueben guy so Milwaukee Deli might be the best choice for me. Thanks for the tip.

I grew up in KC and was a feral child with the freedom to take a bus that went right in front of our house in Prairie Village and all the way downtown via the Plaza and Westport. Being raised by a single father that wasn't much of a cook meant we ate out often and conveniently. I had the freedom to ...

[/quote] Then I'd do the Broncos Thursday night game October 12th. Cheapest tickets available right now, weather would be perfect, classic rivalry and, being a Thursday, less people would be drinking because they have to work the next day. [/quote] We went with this option. Thank you. As it turns ou...

Cold weather won't work for him and seeing people fight over a sporting event won't work for either of us.

I'll look at the Chief's website. We need at least 2 days in advance to plan and the scalper idea will only work if we're already in KC.

Lifetime Chief's fan in Dallas. I've been looking at online prices and find them ridiculous. Example: Bears start at $285 while Broncos are half the cost, Buffalo also low. What determines prices? The weather? The likeliness of winning? Or is it just availability? Why wouldn't there be more people w...

Thank you FangKC for posting the Milton Morris quote about Harry Truman above (and for the linked blog). I saved, but have since lost, that Sunday KC Star special magazine section they ran when Milton's Tap Room was torn down in 1989 (it was torn down DURING the filming of Mr. and Mrs. Bridge. I re...

The 1980s were not good to downtown KC -- nobody went down there except for Bob Jones shoes. Even Crown Center had a tough decade. LMAO - yep going down to Bob Jone's shoes and seeing him up on his high chair was a thing. I bought some bench made Ralph Lauren shoes their in the late 90s. Such a goo...

Interesting how these lines were fuzzy back then. Where I live now they don't allow any out of district admissions and have prosecuted some people for breaking the rules by registering children at a relatives house. The lines weren't fuzzy between districts usually -- Blue Valley always started at ...

What happened in KC with these hotel rates? It's been a few years since we came to KC and as an example the Embassy Suites for a random date in June is $648 a night all in. Even this absolute dump of a hotel, the Rodeway Inn at Admiral and Paseo is $100+. Is this the Superbowl affect? https://i.ibb....

Chequers' where Chubby's on Broadway is? Chequers was Vic Fontana's new place where Fanny's used to be. I was one of the DJ's there. Appx 4000 Central. Looks to be an empty lot now on Google streetview. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.0542859,-94.5896036,3a,75y,314.13h,81.55t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sU9...

I lived in Quality Hill apts in the early 80s. It was a food desert back then. Just a tiny mom and pop grocery store on Jefferson (long gone). In my view it won't be necessary to have a grocery nearby as it was back then. I'm in Dallas with a Tom Thumb, Kroger, and WalMart all within a mile but eith...

This isn't just heat and higher AC bills, this is widespread loss of agriculture, access to water and death for many people (poor and elderly). Climate change and its effects are real. Look at lakes Mead and Powell, the Colorado river, the Rhine, the Po, etc. All suffering from heat and drought. 4 y...

I think the people that makes these lists just look at other lists or don't really know WTF they are writing about.

KC is lucky today. I can't wait to see these (esp the North End) in person. Pryor described himself as Bentonesque. https://nelson-atkins.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/pryor-1-1024x752.jpg https://nelson-atkins.org/five-leonard-pryor-paintings-gifted-nelson-atkins-museum-art/ Sidenote: I was lucky ...

Noticed Jones is in transition - how is their sweet and tangy sauce? Worth mail ordering? https://fox4kc.com/reviews/br/kitchen-br/food-br/popular-kansas-city-barbecue-restaurant-up-for-sale/ I usually take home dozens of bottles of Gates Original, Sweet and Mild and Extra Hot, Bryant's Original (fo...

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! Harp, Jones and Slap it is. Chef J if I can swing it. BTW - I'm in Dallas and haven't found BBQ worth a damn in Texas. Including all the ones you read about on the 'best lists'. That's the reason I started smoking about 20 years ago. Just had some of my own burnt ends for dinne...
