arthur bryants was great.

if you want a break from bbq, to to ponak's for mexican. so good.

Wow! Some great responses about KC BBQ so far! One note....Jake Edwards just south of the Plaza is closed. Not sure what happened or if it moved, but I walked by this weekend and it was empty, closed up, and dark.

I personally like Jack Stack in the Crown Center area. I know it's not as good as one of those hole-in-the-wall experiences, but the food is good. I LOVE their "cheesy corn bake" side dish!

Also, for a hole-in-the-wall with great food, try Oklahoma Joe's. It's in a gas station (not kidding) around 40-something and Mission Rd.

Lastly...you need a car. No way to get to all of the good places without one. KC has a bus system, but not a great one. Stay at the CC Plaza or at Crown Center and go from there.

Thanks for the heads up on Jake Edwards. I just checked an they relocated to 8314 Wornell
