I tried the Legends location twice and was pretty disappointed. They gave you a shitload of food still but it wasn't great. Still like the sauce [Reply]

I can buy their sauce and make my own awesome BBQ at home instead of risking some black dude wiping his ass on a rack of ribs and then serving them to me.

Back in the 60's my Dad would take me to Bryants then to Municipal Stadium to watch the Chiefs. That sauce runs through my veins. Sometimes I simply LONG for a Bryant's Beef sandwich, fries and a Red Cream Soda. I get it, the sauce is love it or hate it. But, for me, it is comfort food. And all KC bbq comes from Gate's or Bryants. They both learned from the same man...then went off on their own.... But they were the ONLY gig in town.
Look, I am not a big fan of Muddy Waters, or BB King....but I understand their importance.... That. That is Gates and Arthur Bryant's. My BBQ mecca. [Reply]
I went there for the first time in years a couple of weeks ago. It's nothing like the downtown location. But still probably better than half of the BBQ joints in the area. It was never busy. My guess is only when the race was in town. Out of towners don't know any better, but at least Jazz is still by there if I'm out there and get hungry [Reply]

It's the cool thing to say.... things are terrible or garbage.
(hyperbole aside, there are relatively few foods/drinks that I find terrible, so I find such comments very strange... like raisins. Raisins are terrible.) [Reply]
