Typically when I voice this opinion, I take a lot of heat from the boomers. And for what it’s worth, I completely understand and respect their place in the history of KC BBQ. I just also recognize that they’ve lived on their names and not the quality of their food for a couple decades now.

People have known AB's and scream at a honkey have been shitty for years

Hopefully not the Morano, good luck :thumb:

Just bring golf clubs and hit the links

Go to Broadway butcher, purchase steak, expertly grill it yourself.

Thought of that myself loochy ROFL

Is Jack Stack a must for a young middle-aged KC visitor? If a middle-aged youngster had time for TWO epic BBQ places, which two would they be?

KC Joe's twice.

Get the pork belly at Q39

OK Joes and Slaps. Be prepared to wait in line for a bit at either place if you arrive around standard lunch/dinner time.

Jack Stack is good. But their best product are their sides. The entrees are average to good. Not bad BBQ, but there's definitely better around town.

Thanks for the advice but I have a wife who likes to go out to eat and loves steak. The times I do grill steaks at home I make a trip to Paradise Lockers and pick my own. Either way I'm happy she is happy. Also 20 years on the road traveling the pipelines being away for weeks without returning home she deserves getting out and about.

Greenlady for jazz is great. Another I haven't seen mentioned is The Phoenix.

The Nelson Atkins is great for artsy types, it is better than many of the well known museums on the east coast but isn't as well known.

The wings at The Peanut are great, there are a couple locations around town.

Chappels restaurant and bar is a must for a sports fan. Skip the food (lots of bland) and go at an odd time so you can browse the collection with fewer patrons in the way.

If either of you like aviation the Airline History Museum is a great option.

The Brick or Zoo Bar for dive bar. The Brick has good bar food at good prices.

Westport is a nice place to drink and wander. The River Market is cool, but if you don't go to the river boat museum it is just some shops and restaurants. The plaza is same, nice place to browse but might not be a lot there to do.

You could go to power and light and gaze upon an empty concrete slab where hundreds of people stand during the super bowl.

And enjoy the most watered down drinks in the city (at least since Lucky Strike left).

If you really want to feel middle age hit Jim's in the Crossroads at night. Maybe it was the night I was there but I had to have had 20 years on everyone in there

Otherwise I'd pull up to Buzzard Beach and toss a toothpick in the urinal so the crabs can pole vault
