We are driving down to KC and I usually go to Gates, but want to try something different this time around.
I'm looking to go to the absolute best BBQ joint in the KC area for dinner tonight and figured you guys would know best. Maybe a few of you want to come out and eat with us.
What say you, CP?

When I was a kid, there was a place on 40 Highway not too far from Cool Crest called The Driftwood BBQ. It was a sit down diner kind of place. If you ordered BBQ beans, they came in a little ceramic bean pot, like a coffee cup size, but like a little jug shaped pot just big enough to dip a spoon into. They kept the beans piping hot, and that was outstanding. I wish places still did that, but I'm sure those were a bitch for the bus boys to wash. They looked kind of like this, but were individual serving sized.
Back in the day when Jack was Smokestack, I think I recall the same ceramic pot thing there as well. [Reply]

It's been a while, but back in the day the MC location didn't so much have a 'bean crock' as they had ramekins for side items, cheesy corn, baked beans, potato salad, slaw.
Little white ramekin for small sides, big brown ramekin for big sides.

Ramekins....added to vocabulary.
You might be right, my wayback memories are of the one on Old 71 Highway. I’d almost swear it was a crock. [Reply]
