Barbecue Tour 2009...Kansas City

Flew into Denver this morning and immediately started east for Kansas City. Here's the deal with Kansas... it is incredibly flat and boring. The highlight being a wind farm we passed somewhere in the middle of the nothingness. First stop on the tour (other than the BBQ chips I had with my Subway outside of Denver) Gates BBQ. Pretty good ribs for 10pm on a Sunday night. Sauce had a spicey kick to it and it was balanced with a sweet twang. Everyone agreed it was a great start to the tour.




Next stop Pappy's Smokehouse in St. Louis.
