I've been to all these places in the article except Q39. Haven't been there yet.

A couple things:

I stop at Arthur Bryant's on the way home from work at least once a month. Their original sauce is by far the most unusual in the city. You either love it or hate it. They make a more traditional sweet sauce -like a Memphis style sauce- that's great on turkey. But their original sauce on brisket or ribs is one of a kind. I think their ribs are wonderful.

No mention of Gates, but that's OK. Other spots they missed were LC's, Rosedale, Big T's, Snead's, all good places.

Smokin' Guns in NKC is very good. I like their burnt ends. Gates burnt ends are inedible...way too greasy.

Joe's is so unusual because of the gas station. Danny Edwards place on the Boulevard (next door to Ponak's Mexican Kitchen) is good too, but they aren't open at night. So you can only get lunch there.

Oh, and on KC Masterpiece sauce. The same company that makes Clorox makes it now. Full of HFCS, it's shit. Don't buy it. Here in KC you can get the original recipe black label, made with cane sugar and molasses, and it's pretty good. But avoid the nationally marketed stuff. It's crap.

Overall, I thought this was a very interesting article. Thanks for posting it.
