KC BBQ: The list and poll

[kc rush]

Anybody been to Big T's? I've driven by it several times but have never ventured in.

I usually send people to Jack Stack when they come into town the first time since it has a safe suburban feel and good food overall. I grew up on their food (Smokestack to Jack Stack).

I like Gates sauce, but their meats are sometimes a bit chewy or tough.

I like Bryants, but think their sauce is a bit of an acquired taste because of the texture.

Johnny's in Olathe has excellent ribs.

I always enjoyed Haywards if I wanted to get in and get out quickly.

I've tried several of the other places, but never crave them. I like some better than others and will eat there, but never feel compelled to go out just to eat there.



Edit - is there any way to get Famous Dave's off of this list. Blah.

I used to eat at Big T's at least once a week. Some of the best burnt ends in the city.

The list is from the KC star article.

Big T's isn't bad not just run of the mill for KC BBQ. Don't get me wrong its good BBQ and if it was anywhere in the world but KC it would be considered the best in town. But its still not an elite taste in KC, IMHO.

Are you referring to my Famous Daves comment? I realize that this was from the Star's article and wasn't blaming you. I was just lamenting that with all of the great local BBQ in KC, why does Famous Daves need to be included.

Thanks for the tip on Big T's. I'll probably try it some time, but won't kill myself to get out there.
