- Bruce's and Jon's Kansas City BBQ Adventure!


 
Here's a guy who crammed in even more in less time than Bruce and I did. I hope he had Tums handy! He visited 4 of the 5 places we went to along with others:

 
That is a great review and write up. The guy not only like BBQ but he is a good writer as well...or he had help. But, I cannot imagine trying to eat at ten BBQ joints in two days.
 
I had a great time with Jon on our KC trip. I was happy that he invited me and I was able to coordinate travel plans to make it happen. He did all the driving, planning and coordinating to my delight.

After a short break, that night we went downtown to Jack Stack Barbecue.
...
The location we picked was in an upscale downtown shopping district. Excellent service and a pretty classy decor for a barbecue place...Our food was very good, but the ribs on the sampler platter we shared didn't look as good as the stunning rack I saw a waiter carry past us to another table!

You guys were in the Country Club Plaza district; my wife and I stayed there back in 2014 and visited that Jack Stack location as well.

And speaking of a stunning rack...when we were there it was a busy Saturday night and we wound up sitting at the bar. There was an open chair to my right and a blonde wearing a rather snug white Royals pullover sat down. I commented to her that wearing white to a barbecue restaurant took some courage...long story short, I wound up taking pictures of her food as well as mine and I'm still happily married.;)
 
We hit Q39 last year taking the daughter to KC museums on spring break. It might have been my favorite BBQ joint ever. Definitely not classic bbq, but focusing on quality over quantity for sure. Takes a lot of confidence in a bbq mecca to serve you reasonable portions at a bbq joint. I enjoyed everything I ate and didn’t leave feeling I needed a forklift to help me stand up.
 
That was my conclusion about Q-39 as well. Bruce and I went at lunch, so maybe the prices weren’t as high. I would for sure go back, if the opportunity came up. But I would go back to all the places we went🤣!
 
I have friends at church who have family in the KC area. They were there for Thanksgiving break and took in Joe's, Q-39, and Jack Stack. I wish I could have been on that trip!
