We’re enjoying a few days in Kansas City with Ben and Katie. Besides family, the trip is pretty much about food.
Highpoints of the feast thus far include:
- BBQ in Blue Springs: Jake and Susan gathered up the best ‘Que from all over town… remarkable for perfect greasy goodness were the Gates ribs.
- Burgers at the Westport Flea Market. Consensus is they’re the best burgers in KC. They must be. With promotion like the like the burgermobile (see above) could they be anything but fah-bulous? I enjoyed mine.
- Shop hopping from McGonigle’s to The Better Cheddar. McGonigle’s is a hoot. They have probably the best beef anywhere, but they also have gift shop kitsch, odd ball sundries (like CPAP wipes… where else can you find them?) and phoney-gourmet goodies. The Better Cheddar offers cheese tasting. Eventually you feel guilty enough that you have to buy something. At least I think that’s howit works.
- Last night we watched “The Town” at the AMC theater on main. The AMC serves dinner during the movie. My meal wasn’t that great, but the idea is a good one.
More calories and hearty heartland cholesterol today and then we head back home.

Of course they have CPAP wipes you idiot. They’re so friggin fat from all that barbeque they can’t breath!
Nice to know my subtlety isn’t wasted!
