INDEPENDENCE SAYS EAT ME!

[gblowfish]

Good places for chow in Independence, my home town!

A couple things about this link:

1) the addresses on Hi-Boy and Mugs Up are reversed. Mugs Up is on 23rd St. There's actually three Hi-Boys in Independence; one on Blue Ridge just north of Arrowhead and close to Dixon's Chili, one at US 24 and River in North Independence near the Truman Library, and one at MO 291 and Gudgell, in East Independence north of the Independence Center.

2) Novella's is Half Can's place in the Independence Library across from Truman Library.

3) I like Tim's Pizza in south Independence better than Square Pizza on the Square. Best pizza in Independence is Fun House on US 40 Highway.

4) Courthouse Exchange has a spiced shrimp special on Friday nights that's great.

5) You can order "Chicken ala Hitler" at Das Rheinland. You can order it, but they don' think it's funny. I've tried. They have Warsteiner on draft, yum.

Come eat!

Drove by Hi-Boy on 24 today. Was sorely tempted to go in.

Seriously though, Tim's Pizza is on my KC bucket list.

For a long time I worked a block from Tim's, we used to get it for lunch about once a week. Good stuff, and good people who own it.

I grew up in the neighborhood behind there. My in laws still live in the neighborhood behind there. Tim and Steve literally watched me grow up from 7th grade till now (38).
The greatest thing about them is their memories. After I moved away, the only time I'd have Tim's was at my in laws, and just eat what they'd order. So for close to a decade, I rarely ordered from there.
Then I was house sitting for my in laws, and called one night to order a pizza, and based off the pizza I ordered, they knew who I was by name.

I'm not sure if this will draw your congratulations or your ire, but at long last I finally had Caddyshack's pie last night. Holy hell, was it good. I nearly shed a tear.

Ha, I used to work around the corner to the Shack, I probably ate that pizza once a week for 2.5 years. It's a must try in KC as well.

Tims is delicious. But I can't tell the difference between their supreme pizza and funhouse supreme pizza. They're very, very close pizzas.

Use to get Mugs Up 2 or 3 times a year...the Chili Whiz Burger...loose meat with Cheese Whiz.

loose meat doesn't sound appetizing.

Think Manwich with dry spices instead of a tomato sauce, or taco meat.

Holy shit, dude.
Yeah, you need to go.
Back in HS, your wife, Debbie, and I always had to stop there to pick up food to take to one of their boyfriends after school.
