Don't get me wrong, you won't go wrong I KC with bbq, but Jack Stack is the best. The burnt ends are absolutely fantastic, the sauce is better, and just a fantastic taste. It's a more upscale bbq, actual restaurant. Never had Q39 when I lived out there, but if you want quick, Joe's. If you want the best for a bit more, Jack Stack. Or live like a real American while over here and get both.
Interesting, thanks Tom. Sauce is just sauce, it adds to the meal rather than define it imo. Are the burnt ends sauced or dry/lightly sauced before re-smoking?
I usually find the upscale, restaurant places are a good couple of rungs lower on the taste scale from the ghetto, eat off a tray places. So far anyway. Both my fave Q places are in that style, sitting next to strangers digging into meat and sides just grunting with appreciation.
Mate, all I do when in the states is find Q places to eat, it's not uncommon for me to spend 3 nights in a row pigging out. We will only have 1 night in KC but I'm insisting we get carryout on the way down to SDC as well so I've got 2 places for sure, and Joe's is one of them, desperate to go there. The other is up for debate but my boss is from KC and swears that Q39 is the best place, and he knows his ends.
