Food Network "Best Thing I Ever Ate"

I just watched that episode and now I am craving burnt ends, big time. :wink:

Gates Burnt Ends are the best in town IMHO. It's what I get every time I go, every farking time.:wink:

Hell, I want some now, dammit. And I already have plans for Margaritas and Mexican food tonight at another place.

They are good! Heart attack on a bun, but worth every Lipitor!

I won't say there the best but darn close. Heck ever since I was little my dad would take me there - Gates was the only place we would go right of 103rd street.

A loud,
HI MAY I HELP YOOOOU just as you walk throught the door always makes me laugh, every time. Since I move I have to order gates sauce. Farken better than BAM!

Just my $.02

yea, gates is good at burnt ends. now LC's,,,, nobody IMHO can touch them.

There might be a bottle of their extra hot sauce in my cupboard if you would like it watertown. Of course it would cost you a cocktail.

Watched that last night, brisket has been on for about four hours now.:-D

Never heard of them but it look good as well

"In the ongoing and certainly never-ending debate over which KC Q joints reign supreme, and which have passed their prime, let us nominate LC's in the former category. For our money, LC's is one of the greats, in Kansas City or anywhere. "When you see a fork in the ..." [Read More].

"LC's is a no-frills barbecue parlor where all dishware and utensils are disposable. A television set is always on in one corner of the room and a few dusty game-animal trophies adorn the walls. Place your order and pay for it at the counter, where you have a great view ..." [Read More].

"One of KC best. But having been there noverember 2008 I found the prices high. It'S very good but getting to pricey to go to regulary. So for me. As of 11/2008 most sandwiches are $ 9.49 and slab is 19.99 or long end 12.00. French fries $3.49 My take is must go to, ..." [Read More].

"My brother, Kevin, a member of the Seattle Mariners Broadcast crew, and I, stopped in at LC's recently during our BBQ pilgrimage in KC. They were out of brisket, so I settled on burnt ends, he, on the smoked Boston Butt. Holy Cow--or Pig--this guy really does it ..." [Read More].

"LC's burnt ends actually are cut to order from the outside and edges of the brisket. A sandwich made from them is impossible to pick up by hand."

My step daughter took her now husband to Smokey Bones, he claimed it was the best bbq he had ever eaten.
She said..........um sorry, my step dads is much better.

We have no real bbq joints around here, S. Bones came into being a few years ago in a high end shopping mall.

Guess thats why ive been trying to perfect my cooking of Q.

Havent' been to LC's but I would agree with Gates being one of the best.

Gates burnt ends is fine eating alright..............

I like them ok but have nephew that is crazy over them

Yep Gates and LCs are top of my list when I get back home to visit. I always try to go to the Gates on Brooklyn just up the road from Arthurs.
I also have to order and am lucky I can Gates sauce. 15 years ago we could not get stuff the way we can today.

i just saw L C the other night on with Bobby Flaw. he seemed like a real card. his Q looked great.
