the county line, think that's what it's called. out behind what used to be
the cowboy hall of fame. it's living on past memories but it's always packed
and people fawn all over it. i have places in tulsa to go to, only
disappointments in okc.

I prefer Legend's, Knotty Pine (luv the beans and have been
going there since the mid 50's) and Billy Sim's. My war
department likes Rib Crib but in my opinion they have detroyed
the beans (too much chili powder), gotta have good beans with
the Q.

Have I missed any?? Rob Mills ~ T-Town

wellllllllllllllllllllllllll, rob

reba dale's bbq @ 26th and n.cincinnati, it's gotta be safe, they got bars
on the windows. my parents will not go with me there. good/great food, but
even i know it can be weird part of town when the sun goes down.

wilson's on apache is my first off the plane and last before leaving when
i'd visit the 'rents. but the old man died and it was redecorated and is
just too damn bright. the 'rents will only go here for lunch. food's still
good, and you can smell the smoke when you drive in the parking lot.

elmer's on peoria (known as the restless ribbon when i was in high school).
food was good till the old man died (note a trend here?) now it's okay but
the staff has way too much 'tude.

but, probably the best all 'round food, pleasant people, my parents feel
safe, did i mention good food? is albert g's @ 27th and harvard. hell, it's
in a converted gas station, how could you ask for better 'q?

rib crib?? not too inspired.

i'll be down to see the 'rents in the spring. i think we'll go to knotty
pine. but i'd also enjoy any other suggestions; asian, mexican, whatever. my
job when i visit, other than cleaning their gutters and getting the crap out
of their computers is to take them to eat where'd they never go w/o help.

I'm just a lurker here. I didn't see any one post anything about Ken's
Restaurant in Amber, OK. It's not really a BBQ place but he does serve
ribs. The prime rib is memorable.

Here's the only link I could find:

Lots of restaurants serve ribs, including Mcdonald's (McRib sandwich). The
OP isn't interested in a menu item, he's interested in a specific cuisine

Do they still serve that crap? Admittedly I haven't been to a McD's in a
looooong time.

Good point - though I'll admit the place Janet recommended does look
pretty good!

They've come and gone a few times. I recall making them in '82, and some
sauce variations around that time or in '83. I was a college student then,
and anything called food was good enough. Seems like I ate quite a few of
them, and took extras home some nights. The bun, pickle, and onions were the
best part.

They're a 1-2 times a year product here in LV, and I see them
occasionally when traveling. I don't want to upset anyone or appear
unsofisticatered, but IMHO, they're not bad for a McDonald's mass market
product. I'd much rather have a good Carolina pulled pork sandwich with
slaw and a little Texas Pete on it, but when I'm wheeling through
Tonopah on my way up to Reno, a McRib with fresh onion pieces isn't all
that bad, and the sauce isn't much different than regular KC style.

My late Padrazz' took me to Tony Roma's in the Miami area, back in the
early 80's, before I had discovered real BBQ. I had some kinda ribs,
swimming in some kinda sweet sauce. I haven't been to a Tony Roma's since.

Compadre's! It's south of Broken Arrow at 101st street
south and 145th street east. They also have one in Owasso
but I've never been to that one. Also there is LaMansion which
is on east 41st street between Mingo and Garnet.

Wilson's is one of my son's favorites, he is a firefighter and
works up that direction.

I thought the OP was looking for a bbq place, not a general restaurant which
happens to have non-bbq ribs on the menu. I apologize if I was mistaken
about the OP wanting bbq.

pssst, hey Marty....I spend a week in downtown KC every year, last week of
June. In 2008 I'll have to visit Little Jake's Eat It and Beat It,
Smokestack, and Quick's. Been to all the others, lots of times.
Hayward's....don't remember that one though, might have to go back again. We
like BB's Lawnside for the music, and the Q ain't bad, either. Jack Stack is
my fave, but it's a bit pricey.

Marty, I was painting things with too broad of a brush, and apologize.
Mrs. Nonny and I are from Marshall and grew up on Ocey Bruner's. He has
a neice or relative that still sells barbecue, on East Arrow in
Marshall, and it's a must-stop kind of place for us. Mrs. Nonny's a St.
Luke's grad, and I am a UMKC grad as well, with many friends and
classmates in the Raytown, Lees Summit and Liberty area. We get to KC
about yearly, still, and enjoy staying at the Embassy Suites, up by the
airport. I don't recall the name of the place just across the road from
the Embassy Suites, but it's a little barbecue place that has some
really good sauce. We usually get a mixed plate for each of us, to go,
and eat it while sucking down the free drinks at the Embassy Suite's
happy hour. <grin>

While I agree with you about Gates having some classic sauce, I guess
it's a matter of my old taste buds. Ocey Bruner's sauce was less sweet
than KC Masterpiece and probably close to Gates, but I still gravitate
personally a bit more toward the sweeter incarnations nowadays.

The next time we're passing through on the way to Marshall or visiting
friends in KC, I'll let you know and will pick up some suggestions about
where to go.

It's interesting, but having lived in NC for many years, I'm a fanatic
nowadays for plain old pulled pork. The cruel part is that the joints
we go to in the Carolinas also have fried chicken gizzards and livers,
leaving me with a very harsh decision to make. <Grin>

The Devil's making me do this. John, you just have to check out "900 West"
in KC. Be sure to order a whiskey straight up from the well. They say a
Leopard never changes its spots, so they'll probably still be serving "Red
Steer" or something equally evil. It is (or was) an upscale yuppie bar,
popular at lunch time and early evening. (Survivors get bragging rights for
drinking from the well there)

It looks like it may no longer be in business John. A search for "900 West"
anything in KC, MO came up blank. It appeared to be "The" place to be
seen in KC in 1973. The location and decor were memorable as was the
well whiskey. I had never heard of "Red Steer". I guessed from the taste
that it must have been aged at least two weeks, probably in a plastic
milk jug. I had a collegue from Anchorage, AK with me at the time who
though it was great stuff. It was hard to imagine what he was used to
drinking.

Thanksgiving dinner was over, and there I was, looking out the window at
the backyard as I did the dishes. And then I saw my dog walk over to
the wood pile by the offset smoker. He sniffed the wood, lifted his leg
and let fly. He soaked the wood real good.

So, here's the question for people with more experience, and who are
farther into the zen of barbecue..... the dog had a look about him, like
he'd done this before. Still, the turkey tasted great, so I figure no
harm was done. Still, what should I do, now that I know?

Blow it off - if the turkey was OK, it's no big deal.

Praise him, after all, he might have made significant contributions to
the quality of the bird.

Give the wood to someone I don't especially like, buy fresh wood and
store it somewhere the dog can't get to it.

Other?

Whaddya think?
