Road trip #2 - Lawrence & KC food recommendations

[Matt Cotcher]

Anyone got a favorite spot in Kansas?

I've only been to Kansas City once and what I remember is that they were pretty proud of the barbecue. That's all I've got....

i'd found out where mangino and c.weis eat.

Arthur Bryant's or Gates bbq would be well-worth your trip.  Both are staples (and competing joints) in KC.

Make sure you take pics of food.  

I like food porn better than sign porn.

I confess to watching Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives on Food Network. They've got some interesting suggestions:

Burnt Ends sandwich

Tater tot pizza

Smoked & deep fried chicken

Crispy Pig Tails

World Championship awarded bbq

Beer-battered, bacon-wrapped, deep fried hot dog

Smoked hot wings

 Triple D is a great show.

McDonalds for breakfast

Hardee's for lunch

Sensible place for dinner, like the Country Buffet

Taco Bell for fourth meal

Level 1.

Jack Stack BBQ. It's not the cheapest in town, but it IS the best IMO. It's just real hard to think of BBQ in a white tablecloth type place.  Also, for steak, I recommend Pierpont's in Union Station.

I'll second Jack Stack. Gates & Arthur Bryant's are just OK compared to Jack Stack. You should try all three and report back. But IMHO, Jacks was good and the others leaned more on their history & "fame"

than their quality of 'cue.

Easy there Boss. I don't think Matt is operating on some kind of lush, high roller budget. We need to keep things in the proper perspective.

Why do you ask for suggestions and then not use them?

Smokin' Guns is one of the linked places above (for "world championship bbq").

Okay. So you're taking triple-D's suggestion rather than site members?

Just pulling your chain. Hope it is delicious.

Headed for lunch at Jack Stack's before the airport. I'm counting on being in a food coma during both flights.

Which Jack Stacks did you go to? Did you try the cheesy corn?

We went to Smokin' Guns BBQ, I give it a definite thumbs down. Not good at all in our opinion, brisket,pork, turkey and sauage not good at all however burnt ends decent.

The Burnt Ends are ALWAYS tasty
