I have heard about Gates, but when you're only passing through KC, you pick one or the other. Since Bryants is always the "representative" KC BBQ, they got picked. The meat was sad. It needed sauce.

I work on the south side of Chicago. We had something like 40 shootings over the weekend. Nothing like warm weather to bring 'em out...

Especially on some baby backs, but I usually eat my pulled pork naked. Maybe a short road trip will be in order soon...

As to wagering, no can do. But the point is that AB's is not a great neighborhood. As to AB being representative of KC, they seem to ride on their notariety more than the food. They do well keeping themselves in national spotlight, but locals don't fully concur on their being the best. Personally, I think they are way to salty. jt

And this was only 15-20 years after your memory of the place. I suppose a lot could change in that amount of time...

(We have had some luck with lunch time walkups - never at Canada.) We can usually get a dinner reservation at one of the resort restaurants if we remain flexible on time & place. Occasionally, we fail and eat outside the Disney system. The restaurants in Celebration are a good backup. -- Meerkat1 |
