As for BBQ, avoid Gates. Top three places to hit: Arthur Bryant's (original at 18th and Brooklyn), Oklahoma Joe's (original at Mission and 47th), and Fiorella's Jack Stack (recommend crossroad's location, near Union Station).

Boulevard has an excellent tour, but be sure to make arrangements in advance. The tickets are hard to get! When you're by the brewery, check out some of the Mexican food along Southwest Boulevard.

Thanks for the heads up on the Brewing tour, I would have prolly missed it otherwise!
