Kansas City barbeque

http://economy.kansascity.com/?q=node/2070

<!-- END tabs --><!-- begin content -->New Orleans has its gumbo. Philadelphia has its cheesesteaks. Boston its seafood. And Kansas City’s culinary claim to fame? Barbecue of course!

And what barbecue, around 80 operations to choose from — spicy to sweet, bare bones dive to white tablecloth, heart of the city or afternoon drive in the country.

Here is the current list of establishments in and around KC. But barbecue fans beware, call ahead first to make sure they are open.

I'm goin with Bates City... just had it the other night....and was delicious.

Saulbadguy 05-13-2009 01:01 PM

Bryants has gone downhill, I love the taste but i've consistently gotten cold meals the past few times ive been there.

DaneMcCloud 05-13-2009 01:02 PM

I just had LC's for the first time this past weekend at the Los Angeles BBQ festival and it was pretty good but not great.

It was much better than the Memphis BBQ that we had (and the North Carolina as well). Waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much vinegar in those sauces! Nasty!

When I visit, I prefer Zarda's or JackStack in OP out of all the rest.

CoMoChief 05-13-2009 01:03 PM

Mmmm Oklahoma Joes..........yum

blaise 05-13-2009 01:06 PM

I just had Jack Stack for lunch, pretty damn good- but I gotta go with Oklahoma Joe's. I like their Carolina style pulled pork. Admittedly, I haven't been to most of those places though.

Fire Me Boy! 05-13-2009 01:07 PM

Any/all are better than what I've had since being in South Carolina.

Dartgod 05-13-2009 01:09 PM

Has anyone ever been to Snead's? I've lived near there for over 10 years and never stopped in, but I never hear them mentioned when discussing BBQ joints.

rageeumr 05-13-2009 01:10 PM

Tough call for me. If I'm looking for a sit-down "nice" joint, it's gotta be Jack Stack. But I end up at OK Joe's more because I'm typically feeling more casual and their fries are the best GD thing I have ever tasted. Next to their brisket, of course.

Zarda's ribs are horrible. Great beans, good sanwich meat. I used to work in the Blue Springs location. Mike Zarda is an asshole.

Can't beat BBQ from a gas station IMO.

Buzz 05-13-2009 01:15 PM

Anyone tried Rib Crib? There is one in Independence and I think they have an all you can eat rib night. I thought about giving it a try sometime.

Alton deFlat 05-13-2009 01:15 PM

I love Bryant's and Jack Stack, and tried Winslow's a few weeks ago (it was OK), but at least this week I'm leaning toward Oklahoma Joe's.
