Finally dragging the wife out to Arrowhead...

[ceebz]

This weekend. We'll get into town late Friday night so, we have all of Saturday to burn. Any ideas on what we could do? I've been to a few games at Arrowhead, but, I've never been in the city long enough to check it out.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also, my wife's a big fan of KC-style BBQ, what would be the best place to take her to? Gates?


Thanks...

[ChiefsCountry]

The Plaza and Westport have fun.

Nah, we're driving. It's only 8 hours from Denver. We're staying about 2 miles from the stadium. (Can't remember the hotel's name)

Taking my wife to her first game too.

She said she is "scared of tailgating"............:shrug:LMAO

[jjchieffan]

Your choice of barbq would depend on your taste. My favorite is Gates, but it is too spicy for my wife. Jack Stack is great as is KC Masterpiece. I have heard Bryants is great too, but I havent tried it yet.

Why would a woman be afraid of 50,000 drunk men????

[StcChief]

Jack Stack or go downtown to the original Bryants if you wanna scare her.

[JohninGpt]

I took my wife to a game once. She said that my brother and I were too loud when the other team had the ball, and we were embarrassing her and my brothers girlfriend.
The GF has been dumped and the wife no longer accompanies us to games.

What do you mean by that? :hmmm:

[BigRedChief]

The Plaza and Westport have fun.
They are right beside each other.
If you are getting in Friday Night. It's Red Friday in Westport. A Chiefs pep rally.

The Plaza Art Fair is an outdoor street festival kind of thing is this weekend.

Get ready to be blasted with "HI MAY I HELP YOU!?!" when you walk in the door. Gates is about my fav of the above three places listed.

Good God, that's F***in awesome! Thanks!

That's ok, I think every restaurant in Denver is like that.

My wife's half Thai and she loves spicy, so, I think Gates is the obvious choice.

[luv]

There's also Legends out by the racetrack for shopping. I've been there once, and planning to go back in November. Also, I didn't make it to one while I was there, but I hear the art museums are really cool.

[BigRedChief]

Good God, that's F***in awesome! Thanks!
Opening Day for the Chiefs is always a big weekend in KC. If you want to go meet Chief fans on Saturday night the Chiefs Coalition is doing a fundraiser also. If not stop by the tailgate on Sunday

[Phobia]

Dude, come out to the Festivus Saturday night. I can vouch for the BBQ. I had it last year. It's better than anything you can buy at a restaurant and the beans should be pretty good too.

Click the thread at the top of the page for info on that event.

[shaneo69]

Get up Sat morning at about 9:00 a.m., drive 4 hours west on I-70 and get some culture while you're in Missouri.

Go to the top of the Arch, take a tour of the A-B brewery, catch the Cards-Astros game at 6:15, drive back to KC, take a little nap, and start tailgating at 9:00 a.m.

Perfect weekend. :)

Sounds like a lot of fun. We'll be there!

Yeah, I thought about going to the Arch. We may do that early Saturday morning, if we have enough time.

[Phobia]

Come find me. I'll introduce you to the idiot who made the beans.

[Phobia]

I'm thinking there's not enough time Saturday morning.

[ceebz]

I'm thinking there's not enough time Saturday morning.

I'm thinking that too... What I'm really hoping is that the wife will enjoy the trip and we'll be coming out again soon.

[BigRedChief]

She won't be in a room with a bunch of men talking Chiefs football. There will be a lot of women at the Festivus.

Four hours west?

[luv]

Four hours west?
And is it really four hours?

[Donger]

And is it really four hours?

Well, that depends on the speed of the vehicle.

[Skip Towne]

Don't go to Gates. It's fast food complete with frozen french fries. Go to the original Bryant's.

[shaneo69]

Four hours west?

Geographically challenged here. :banghead:

[Mr. Arrowhead]

Don't go to Gates. It's fast food complete with frozen french fries. Go to the original Bryant's.
I agree, Gates use to be really good back in the day, then i went there last year and it surely has gone down hill.

[shaneo69]

Yeah, I thought about going to the Arch. We may do that early Saturday morning, if we have enough time.

I was just joking about coming to St. Louis---there's plenty to do in KC, and the Festivus sounds like a blast.

And after driving 8 hours from Denver, you won't want to be driving any further once you get to KC.

Have fun!

[ceebz]

She won't be in a room with a bunch of men talking Chiefs football. There will be a lot of women at the Festivus.

Nice. I've already decided we're going. We'll be the two who look out of place. :D

[ceebz]

I agree, Gates use to be really good back in the day, then i went there last year and it surely has gone down hill.

Ok, we'll hit Bryant's first. Maybe we'll grab some Gates on our way out Monday.

[jjchieffan]

KC Masterpiece? why not just suggest McDonalds and McRib?

That would be my wifes preference. Everytime I barbq, I have to fix her a seperate helping with Masterpiece. I really prefer Gates and Jack Stack, and I am hoping to try Bryants the next time I am in KC.

[ChiefsCountry]

Better go to Bryants for Lunch, I wouldnt want to me in that part of town after dark. I like Gates alot but Bryant's is the icon KC bbq joint. Heck you cant go wrong at any of those places.

[jjchieffan]

I agree, Gates use to be really good back in the day, then i went there last year and it surely has gone down hill.

Really? It has been a couple of years for me, so I guess I have missed the decline. What has changed? Have they been cutting corners to keep prices down, and thus the quality has sufferred or what?

[Mr. Flopnuts]

What's the name of the bbq place across the street from Worlds of Fun? I ate there once driving through KC and it was pretty good. Actually, if memory serves me correctly, it's the BBQ joint across the freeway from Worlds of Fun.

[BigRedChief]

I just ordered 4 gallons of Cheesy corn from Jack Stack for the Festivus. Some may make it to the dinner.:rolleyes:

[BigRedChief]

Nice. I've already decided we're going. We'll be the two who look out of place. :D
Thats the cool thing about Festivus. 75% of the people there have never met each other in real life. It's really cool to put faces with names from the Chief boards. You have a slam dunk conversation starter in the Chiefs. The BBQ rocks, having a cold beverage and talking Chiefs football. Thats the life.

[Mr. Arrowhead]

so i will be in town saturday night, what going on then

[KcMizzou]

Actually, if memory serves me correctly, it's the BBQ joint across the freeway from Worlds of Fun.The only place I can think of in that area would be Mama Jo's on Parvin road.

I've only had it once... it was just ok.

[BigRedChief]

Festivus. Theres a sticky thread about what it is at the top of the board.
