KC Masterpiece
Has anyone been to KC Masterpiece since they got a new chef and changed the menu in April?
Apparently, this is the guy who is trying to make them respectable. http://www.ribstarsbbq.com/index.html Any opinions? |

I've never tried KC Masterpiece and only get to eat KC BBQ once or twice a year. But based on their supermarket sauce, my first impression is less than favorable. There are so many good places that I wouldn't burn one of my rare chances to eat KC BBQ on KC Masterpice.
Honestly in the KC market, their name is probably a more of a liability than an advantage. |

For the record, my two favs are Jack Stack and Eat It And Beat It... I highly doubt they will reach that level of quality anytime soon, but still curious if they had made any significant changes at all. |

The name has a TON of value outside the KC area. If you opened a KC Masterpiece here in Austin or Pheonix or wherever... the name is a huge asset.
The name is an internationally recognized brand. I am pretty certain that was what they were buying. |

The restaurant is across from the Marriott. I would guess most of the traffic is from visitors. The taste needs to be bland to appeal to people not from the area.
Any real BBQ afficianado in the area would go to Haywards which is just up the street. I have a 1/2 case of Haywards sauce in my garage where all of my wine is stored. Haywards is my favorite. |

We have Gates in almost all the supermarkets in Springfield, good shit. I found some Jack Stack sauce at Harter House but wasnt that impressed. I havent been able to find any Arthur Bryants sauce around here, I would love to try it.

I understand the marketing power the name KC Masterpiece brings to business and I can only speak for myself, but as a local for them to become respectible they must shed the name. I'm hard pressed to go anywhere other than Oklahoma Joes's which imo is the hands down best bbq in the city, but I like more of a Carolina style. I cringe everytime the Travel channel or Food Network does a show on bbq and they showcase Masterpeice. I wish them the best though.
