Food Network "Best Thing I Ever Ate"

watertowerbbq · 01-24-2009, 05:31 PM

Saw the episode last night and Duff from Ace of Cakes said that his favorite dish in the world was Gates BBQ Burnt Ends on Bun.

Any MOFO want to confirm how good it is?

After looking at the pictures I actually thought to myself, "If I were single, I'd drive down there today."

Marsha · 01-24-2009, 05:33 PM

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

bigabyte · 01-24-2009, 05:39 PM

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

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

jbrink01 · 01-24-2009, 05:49 PM

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

smythers1968 · 01-24-2009, 05:55 PM

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

Smokin Mike · 01-24-2009, 06:05 PM

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

watertowerbbq · 01-24-2009, 06:15 PM

LC's?

Balls Casten · 01-24-2009, 06:20 PM

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. :-)

jack040806 · 01-24-2009, 06:31 PM

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

smythers1968 · 01-24-2009, 06:35 PM

"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 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.

Buster Dog BBQ · 01-24-2009, 08:55 PM

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

aquablue22 · 01-25-2009, 07:51 AM
