This was my lunch at Arthur Bryant's yesterday. It might not look like much in this crappy cell phone picture but it was pure heaven...

KC Barbecue, represent.

I have so many memories of going there on sunday morning with Nate and Doug. Other barbecue always tastes like ashes in my mouth by comparison.

I know what you mean. I've tried many around here. I've had a couple of pleasant experiences but they have never been able to keep up the quality for later visits.

'Que ain't about looks, the best is always messy to eat. Never EVER trust a babeque "resturant" with tableclothes and napkins. In the really good places, it looks like they hose it down at closing time for cleaning.

I think that's part of the problem I had with the Sprint folks. They thought Fiorella's was, y'know, barbecue.

To this day, I can't understand how they think that's the real deal. Might as well have gotten KC Masterpiece. (Full disclosure: Rich is a family friend, dagMother introduced us years and years ago, been to his house multiple times when I was a dagling, nice guy, but no. NOT proper barbecue).

I mean, c'mon. Reservations? At a barbecue restaurant? It is to laugh.

When I first moved to the northwest I asked about good BBQ in the area and was told that I should go to Tony Roma's. Ummm... Yeah...

It's not that the plate is messy. It's that the picture doesn't really capture the beauty of what was in front of me. :)
