LoL... in response to the actual thread... I have had alot of BBQ... but none from KC... need to rectify this...

Re: Kansas City BBQ
 

Having had both, MHO is that Carolina BBQ is very good...and KC BBQ is better.

Re: Kansas City BBQ
 

They both are good after hitting the bong:r:r

Re: Kansas City BBQ
 

Glad to hear you like our BBQ... do you remember where you had it?

Re: Kansas City BBQ
 

Buddy of mine goes to SC every year a couple times, and always brings me back some BBQ. No clue what restaurants they are from.

Re: Kansas City BBQ
 

I'm actually a fan of all bbq. I know I would like the carolina style, because we have "carolina style" here at several places. KC is kind of the melting pot of bbq.

That sounds like heaven, Blake.... :lr

Re: Kansas City BBQ
 

This. When it comes to BBQ, it's all good.

Oh no.... Bob found his way to the BBQ thread... <shocking> :lr

If you start talking about BBQ, Bob, Idk if my tastebuds can handle it... :dr

Re: Kansas City BBQ
 

I did smoke a pork butt yesterday.

Re: Kansas City BBQ
 

It felt wonderful. :)

Bob is notorious for describing gourmet magic in the zombie thread... then I, stuck at work, read descriptions of his "culinary wizardry" and go home to bagel bites... lol jk :lr

Re: Kansas City BBQ
 

So back to the OP... anyone know any homemade BBQ sauce recipes?

Re: Kansas City BBQ
 

Im in KC a few times a year. Jack Stack and Gates are both stops for me regularly. Agreed - I do the combo with brisket and burnt tips with a side of mac and cheese and some sort of veggies. Always awesome.

Oklahoma Joes is really good too, but I dont get there as often due to proximity.

I like ALL Barbecue, Carolina, Texas, Memphis, KC, you name it. Chicago is almost a BBQ wasteland compared to those cities... but Illinois does have 17th Street BBQ which I would put up against any in the country.

Re: Kansas City BBQ
 

Directions, please..... :dr

Re: Kansas City BBQ
 

When y'all want real BBQ just come on down to Memphis and we will show you how it's done

Re: Kansas City BBQ
 

Memphis is on my bucket list, definitely wanna do the town (and the BBQ) someday.

Re: Kansas City BBQ
 

They are all far away in Southern Illinois unfortunately - Marion, Murphysboro, and East St Louis... www.17thstreetbarbecue.com

Closer to home there is a place called Chucks in Burbank that is pretty good on an "on" night, but not too great on an off day... Worth a drive though - www.chuckscafe.com .

Ever since Famous Daves closed in Palatine, there has been a barbecue drought around here...

Re: Kansas City BBQ
 

Never liked Famous Dave's myself....I am a fan of the Texan in Algonquin.

Re: Kansas City BBQ
 

Famous Dave's was ok. I've been to one in Nashville. Not bad but not great either
