on the road again

It was time to try another barbeque joint on the list of many here in KC so last night we headed to LCs Barbeque. (We were especially excited about this place since Mario Batali ate here when he was in town). As we waited in line, trying to decide what to eat, Mike pointed out that NO ONE in the tiny restaurant was eating. When trying a new place, an empty restaurant is a bad sign...but what about one that is packed full with clean tables?! We placed out order (a mixed plate, burnt ends and a side of fries) and became just two more people sitting, but not eating.

Even though the meat had been smoking away for hours right behind the counter, it took quite awhile to get our food. We were relieved when orders were called and everyone started eating! Good thing we had time to work up an appetitie because as you can see, the portions were huge! Everything was good...especially the turkey and burnt ends! The sauce was spicy but not enough to break a sweat.

As we were eating we overheard one of the guys next to us say "where to next?" His friend responded "I think we should go back to (Arthur) Bryant's, and then on to Gates". That's impressive! I wonder if those guys have a blog?!
