What do you suggest for my last meal?

[mikey23545]

Friday I am having a colonoscopy and will be on a clear liquid diet all day Thursday, so tonight will be my last solid food for a while...

Health food nuts may not reply.

I bet some of you really had your hopes up for a second...

I'm sure there is a few Mexican sports in KC, but Bakersfield has places on every corner, literally. You can't say KC has better Mexican places than us. No way in hell. You guys win on the BBQ, but not Mexican.

I love Manny's locally here in KC. used to be a great place to eat for pretty cheap. not so much anymore. I suppose it's priced based on othersin the market, but still. I remember getting my bill the last time I was there and sort of sat there for a minute....lol

Unbelievable Update:

They called the friggin' thing off.

I have a pacemaker/defibrillator and I'm in constant A-fib, so I have to take warfarin (a blood thinner) and I have been having trouble with my blood being thinned out too much...they tried to thicken things up with some vitamin K but after an INR stat test this morning they've decided it is still too thin to risk a medical procedure tomorrow morning...

Well, at least I got a lot of culinary advice for when I can get it done.

Thanks to all!

My suggestion would have been the Z-Man sandwich with a side of beans and fries from Oklahoma Joe's.

Las Playas. My great-grandpa started it on the West side (On Jefferson IIRC). They used to get lines out the door, so he decided to move into a bigger space and moved it out to Independence on 40 highway.

Edit: It was also my first job. My 16-17 year old cousins loved me. They could call me at 6:00 on a Friday or Saturday night and ask if I wanted to finish their shift for them. So I started washing dishes there when I was 12 and started bussing tables when I was 13. My great uncle used to get pissed at my grandma for letting me work because he thought they were going to get in trouble. I was the baller of 5th grade because I was the only one with a job.

I wouldn't argue that. I would expect there to be more good places, but that doesn't mean that KC doesn't have good Mexican food.

Also, I live in Texas now so I'm surrounded by a ton of good places. I rarely go to actual Mexican restaurants anymore (unless I'm eating seafood). I usually end up eating at the carniceria or a taco truck.

But it's not like it's hard to make good Mexican food.

Not a single pic of a Long John Silver's platter in this thread. Color me amazed.

I'd go for Chick-fil-A.

Manny ' s was my absolute have - to - go - to place, back to the days when they were a hole-in - the wall. Bean dip and pork burritos. Killer. If I was in KC only 1 day back in my Navy days, had to go to Manny's.
