    We’d burn a place like that down here in Kansas City and then smoke some ribs over the fire.

          It’s the free kiddie cones! Mother fuckers love a free kiddie cone!

          But you’re right, with Bryant’s, L.C.'s, Gates, jackstack, etc… it’s hard to believe they’re still around.

            Once a good BBQ place turns into a chain, it’s all over. It’s pretty hard to smoke meat the way you need to for good BBQ across a ton of locations. You need a person running the joint that has such an insane passion for it that they wake up at 4 am to start smoking because they LIKE to. Can’t put that in a bottle and sell it across various locations, unfortunately. At least, not cheaply/easily, which is capitalism’s whole MO.

        Jack stack (the martin city location), Joe’s kc, slaps. For ribs, toss gates, bb’s lawnside and maybe q39 (the 39th st location)

        When it comes to burnt ends, my absolute hands down favorite sandwich is the Burnt End On Bun at Gates. For good brisket can’t beat Q39.
