Philadelphia has its cheesesteaks. Boston its seafood. And Kansas City’s culinary claim to fame? Barbecue of course!

Kind of a necro bump I suppose, but whatever.
For those of you looking to try out Sneads BBQ, don't bother. A friend and I went the other day and apparently the ownership has changed not long ago. Prices were higher, portions were smaller. Fries were barely warm. It's too bad as they used to kick ass. If you're in Belton and looking for good BBQ, hit up Odens BBQ (they still own) instead or take the trip up Holmes road to Jackstacks. |

Some of these BBQ joints are way too pretty and new. They need to be run-down and in the bad part of town.

FWIW, Dickies BBQ is selling $1 pulled pork sandwiches every Monday for the rest of February. Haven't tried one, but ol boy next to me at work has been hitting them up for a bit. He also brought in a bacon explosion for a company food day, which I don't recommend.
