And the brisket is that thick cut, fatty with good char style.

I rarely have "bad" BBQ at any of these places in KC. I've just come to find that these small craft places can consistently put out a better quality that the super popular places like Joes and Jack Stack. That being said, I'd eat any of them any day of the week and be happy.

That sausage is incredible and spot on with the brisket. Yes you can't go wrong with really any of the big name places but not branching out to discover that there is fantastic BBQ out on the outskirts is really missing the boat.

Sadly Gates and Bryant don't resemble anything of what they once were. I Just don't bother anymore.
