I've become a big fan of Q39, a newer place over by KU Medical Center. More of a quasi-gourmet barbecue experience as opposed to a powerfeed like LC's or Bryant's. Might be one you mix in at snacktime: the chicken wings are amazing, even though wings aren't a traditional KC 'cue staple.

Rousing silence here. Anyone else in for Q39 on Sunday?
Otherwise I'll reserve for two.
By the way, there's no indication that there's a brunch
(I don't do brunch).

I'm sorry to say that a project is running long and I won't be able to make it. See y'all next year.

An unfortunate last minute change in travel plans means I won't be arriving into MCI until after 9 tonight. As such, I'll miss drinks and dinner at the Freighthouse but should be able to join you all at Joe's BBQ on Saturday. See you then!

Is anyone planning on coming down to Jack Stack for an early Happy Hour? I may push back my arrival to 530 unless someone is coming in early.

Alas, looks like I missed you all at Joe's KC BBQ. I was in the parking lot at 10:45 - and it looked like they opened early. No wonder! Lots of hungry people and some fine tastin' barbecue! I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and took a table with a copy of the KC Star. You couldn't miss me with my misshapen hump and antlers. That "Night of the Living Hot Sauce" had some good burn indeed! In any event, the place filled up very quickly and - not knowing any of you - I didn't see or hear any groups that sounded FTish (whatever that may be plus I wasn't keen on making a scene to find y'all), so I finished my sandwich and headed on out in search of a Kansas City Chiefs T-Shirt for my neighbor.
Still, I came to sample the BBQ scene here and so, having procured said t-shirt am now off to Jack Stack's over at Country Club Plaza followed by a visit to Arthur Bryant's over on Brooklyn Ave.
Hope everyone has a great weekend of BBQ here in KC and perhaps we'll cross paths at another Do. Cheers!

Seat 2A, we were at the Joe's on W 47th in Kansas City, KS
from 10:30 to almost 11:30. I scanned the line for familiar
faces periodically - I admit I don't see very well, but lili
should have noticed you if you'd been there when we were.
Sorry to miss you as well.

Aaaahh, I wished I could have made it to this DO! But, unfortunately, work/personal commitments kept me from it! 
Hope to see you guys sometime soon!!

violist, I didn't come in until about 10:50. By then it was obvious that despite the sign on the door indicating that they didn't open until 11, they were indeed very open! There were two or three tables or combination of tables that looked to be seating groups, not to mention lots of completely filled four toppers. I was the only guy in the place with a table to myself. Maybe you were faced away from me or there's another seating area I was unaware of. No worries though! I had a great sandwich, made all that much better with liberal applications of the extra hot and spicy sauce. Later I had a great burnt ends sandwich at Jack Stack's Country Club Plaza location, washed down with two pints of very good Boulevard Pale Ale. Definitely not inexpensive though. On to the original Arthur Bryant's on Brooklyn where I'd hoped to buy a sandwich or ribs to enjoy later on the plane but when I arrived the line out the door was so long that I decided to check it out when I come back in September. So - on the Colorado ("Gateway to Kansas!") and then Seattle where I just might be available for questions and autographs at 13 Coins on Tuesday night 
I'll be back at work a week from today!
