Kansas City, Here I Come. Where to Eat?

Posted by Adam Kuban, December 13, 2006 at 4:48 PM

It's my hometown, but it's been a while and there's gotta be some new eats there. I noticed yesterday that there were a lot of KC cowpokes round these here parts. What's the word?

To-Eat List:
Haye's Burgers (NKC), LC's Barbecue, Town Topic, Oklahoma Joe's

Been-There-Ate-That List:
Bryant's, Stroud's, Winstead's, Fiorella's Jack Stack

it's been a long time since i've been in kc. but let's see.

if you want class, i hear nothing but the best about room 39 - obviously, it's not new york, but the prices are fair and the food is supposedly stellar.
i don't know how you can leave winstead's on your been-there list. anyone who doesn't like the burger they grew up with is a sissy.
i sometimes wake up craving a blt and wings from the peanut. downtown location.
rudy's taqueria. or any number of places on southwest boulevard.

and at 3 am, regretfully, town topic.

i think that's, almost verbatim, my plan for christmas.

I'm glad you have Oklahoma Joe's on your list. Make sure you eat at the one in Missouri (in the gas station). The one in Olathe is great too, but you can't beat eating good Barbeque in a gas station atmosphere!

Manny's Mexican restaurant on Broadway is a great one.

Oh yeah... and like onthestereo said.. you can't go wrong with wings from The Peanut.

Have fun!

@Kristen: Yeah. I guess OKJ should be on my "Been-There-Ate-That-Will-Eat-Again" List. I've only ever been to the one in Olathe, since it's closer to my parents' house than the original location but have been wanting to eat in the gas station one.

@onthestereo: OK. I'll go back to Winstead's this time. I'm just trying to prioritize, since I only have a limited number of meals while I'm there, half of which will probably be with family. I'm torn between old favorites and places I want to try.

I just did some quick Googling on Peanut. I love a well-made BLT. Perhaps on my way to or from Haye's in NKC.

yeah - the smokie joe sandwich from oklahoma joe's and those fries, with a strawberry soda, in the gas station... oh man.

the peanut blt is the stuff dreams are made of.

oh man! and waldo pizza. st. louis style.

it's an acquired taste, maybe, but i love it so.
