Q39 was pretty ****ing good. Had the judges plate with spare ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. Fries and slaw were both good too. Only thing is the sauce was spicy for my tastes but I'm sure most people prefer it that way, so meh.

I'm watching 'Smoked' and one of the contestants owns Slap's BBQ. What's the word on Slap's?

I love it

It looks like Joe eats a lot of his own cooking so that's a good sign. When in KC we usually go to Jack Stack but I think I need to branch out. Next time maybe I'll try Slap's.

Woodyard has the best smoked chicken. It's not even BBQ really, its hickory smoked chicken, much like what Stephenson's Apple Orchard Restaurant used to have before it closed down.

There's few "joints" that you can go wrong with in KC. They've all got great BBQ.

Slap's is unreal. IMO, the best in KC. Gotta get the jalapeno cheddar sausage. Life will be different after eating that.

I agree about the cheddar jalapeno sausage. Their cheesy potatoes are the best too.

Joe's KC but mostly because I can walk there

Sauto swears by it yet don't tell him he's dead on. It is the best Q in KC in my opinion also.

I enjoy the overall dining experience at Jack's so I eat there more often. Slaps has a lot to be desired in the overall experience but the protein is excellent.

The family did Q39 last week. OMG. So good. All other BBQ is a sham compared to this. The brisket tasted like chocolate. Delish.

I had LCs again the other day. Still not very good. No effing clue how you could even start comparing that in the same sentence as Joes or Q39 Gates sucks too but Im not a sauce guy and as I understand it sauce people love their sauce so maybe thats why. Third in KC is hard to pon point but it might be Zarda

Zarda's nothing special. Danny Edwards is probably best. Bryants a close second. Char Bar probably third. Q39 probably fourth. Gates to round out the top five because I'm not looking to see if the place that I like out by 143rd and Metcalf. LC's is hit and miss also and there are maybe five to ten more that if the Dewers 12 hadn't kicked in I'd mention here now

I forgot about Q39, I guess I should try it again (the OP location) when in town next time.

Danny Edwards Big D is my favorite BBQ sandwich in the world. So insanely good.

Good to know your BBQ takes are just as bad as your football takes.

I'll give you the Gates/sauce thing. But LC's is pretty damn good and Zarda's is subpar for KC (still would be top 5 BBQ in LA). LC's burnt ends might be the best I've had.
