Pappy's better than KC BBQ?
 
Ok so my friend in St. Louis is telling me that Pappy's and some shit ass place called 17th street is better BBQ than KC and that we are overrated.

I've never had St. Louis BBQ and she's had KC BBQ once (she had Arthur Bryant's).

Have any of you had the BBQ in St. Louis? I'm for damned sure KC's is top notch and those ****ers can't even begin to challenge us.

Note: I have heard from a few friends that Pappy's is in the same league as KC BBQ.

Ive had Pappy's several times. It's good...it's not Gates, Jack Stack or Arthur Bryants...not even close.

Screw you for provoking everyone on this board with that stupid thread title. :cuss:

On topic: I've had Pappy's more than once, and while it's good, it doesn't compete with the best of KC.

What about OK Joes?

And that's the key. Best of KC.

I personally don't think Gates or AB's are anything special. I think they are ridiculously overrated. OK Joe's is phenomenal, IMO. Haven't had LC's, but heard good things.

I'd put Pappy's below OKJ, but above the other two.

IIRC, Zagat named them a Top 10 in the US last year.

17th street originated in murphysboro, il. I have had it several times and its very good. They have won Memphis in May several times (team name is apple city BBQ). It's a different style sauce than KC BBQ. I've had jack stack and i would say the brisket is better at jack stack and the ribs may be better at 17th street (although I had spare ribs at jack stack and baby backs at 17th st)

IDK, personally I'd rather be served a Gates triple decker ham+beef combo on Wonder bread by a fat African American woman in KC vs. A Cowboy-Ribeye from The Capital Grill on Pharr Rd. overlooking the Atlanta skyline.

Pappy's is competent and competitive with a good bit of KC BBQ, but it's no OKJoes, LCs or JackStack.

Additionally, their sauces are their weak point, not bad but decidedly not distinctive.

Ribs, Brisket, Chicken and Hot Links are their high points, in descending order

Pass on the pulled pork.

I like Sticky Fingers ok, over in the Carolinas, yes it's basically bbq fast food, but it's better than anything over here in Georgia.

St. Louis is much better for italian food (The Hill District) and for Frozen Custard (Ted Drewes best in the USA)

But leave the BBQ to KC.

We got this, seriously.

how come there is so much love for jack stack and never mention of smokehouse?
from what I've heard it was a family split and a very similar recipes. I eat smokehouse cause I'm in the northland, but my god I love it.

I just discovered this, and my understanding is it's not a family split. The daughter of the guy who owns Smokehouse decided to take his recipes to an upscale level. Someone I'm sure can verify whether this is true or not. I'm hitting this place up the next time I go to KC. From what I hear, Smokehouse is where the players for the Chiefs go and get their BBQ.
