ChiefsPlanet Best BBQ in KC to take New Orleans friends?

kcconnie · 12-25-2010, 11:46 PM

Need to know the best BBQ place in KC. I was born and raised there but have been gone over 20 years. Flying in with some friends from New Orleans for the Raiders game and want to show them how it's done in the Midwest. We're staying down at Crown Center so would prefer something not too terribly far away. These people are used to some really good food, but I have no doubt we can do better! Thanks!!

I'd pay some team to to cook some up for you and deliver it to the hotel. The backyard guys are a lot better bet than any of the "for profit" restaurants. If you're bringing in folks from the best culinary vein in North America, you have to be sure.

That's kind of what I was afraid of.....They may not know that football is supposed to be played outside but they sure know their food!

It's not much different than Cajun fare. The "for profit" places are going to serve diluted crap to make money and cater to a wider palate. Whereas if you drop in on Beudreaux and dip a spoon into his stock pot, you'll find some of the best jambalaya in the land.

I'd vouch for Phobia's grub. Mighty tasty.

The Jackstack is not a bad choice. (Unless you can hire Phoibia to cook.)

I'd agree with that.

Agreed. My buddies from New Orleans came up a few weeks ago for the Denver game and I took them to Oklahoma Joes and they were blown away. The Carolina is ridonkulous. They all agreed it was the best BBQ they had ever experienced.

+3 for Okie Jeaux, esp. for NOLA folk.

Oklahoma Joe's, get the burnt ends

While Phobia is right that someone who knows what they are doing can dedicate more carefully spent time tending to BBQ than a busy restaurant can, his denigration of even KC's great BBQ joints is damaging to local culture. It also has the stench of ego-placation.

Your friends will be amazed with OK Joe's or L.C.'s or Smokin' Guns or...
