BBQ in KC

how about something in downtown, westport, or plaza area?
or up in north kc along armour rd or anywhere along chouteau trfcwy?
those are the areas where i usually stay when in your fair city..

i've been to jack stack's - good but rather pricey. and not so down-home style.

prefer beef or turkey, sausages as well.

I have done BBQ in Texas and other than one place by the Ft Worth Nascar track it was pretty bad.
those are fighting words!!!! :^)
seriously, there is some great bbq in texas, mainly in central texas but also up here in dallas and fw. dickey's [a chain] has some consistently delicious bbq, imho.
let me know if you head this way again and i'll rustle up some suggestions.

also, for us out-of-towners, an address, ph#, and/or a website addr would be MUCH APPRECIATED!!

in kansas city, i've been to these great down-home tex-mex style restaurants.

El Pueblito on 810 Southwest Boulevard [just s. of the I-35 overpass] KC, MO (816) 471-5442

Rudy's Tenampa Taqueria on 1611 Westport Road [e. of state line rd.] KC, MO (816) 931-9700 http://www.rudystenampa.com‎


this one is ok, more informal, almost fast-food

[QUOTE=ss4699;1051907689]One of the big things about any bbq is the process of the oven itself. It has to temper out and that can take a while, or so I have been told.

You hit it on the head. It takes years to cure the pit and give the meat a better flavor. When Bryants went into the Legends and the casino, they were well below par.

Just saw that Quik's 7th St. BBQ, is on the auction block at equip-bid.com. Havent been there in years, wonder if they retired or just shut down?

That will change the neighborhood too. Too bad.

Those are all pretty places. If you really want to get down and dirty into some BBQ, try LC's off Blue Parkway in KC.

Well another few days and will put a poll together with location and name and let folks vote miltiple times and the the best in the midwest. Had a mod agree to stick the results so it can be viewed and added to as new places are added. The poll will be open 2 weekes so if you want to try a place or two, up to you.

Love that avatar MWM!
