Pardon me for so shamelessly plugging Bryants BBQ, BUT IT IS THAT GOOD...Arthur Bryant passed away in '82, but the restaurant reopened in '83...



Bryants opens at 10AM on Saturday. Wanna meet there, get coffee and an early lunch, then off to the BaconFest?

Thinking of having coffee at The Roasterie (1204 W. 27th St, KCMO) at 10. It will be a better location for sit-and-jaw. Then lunch at Arthur Bryant's, then BaconFest.

You've got a point. Kansas City, KS is a little more difficult to navigate than Kansas City, MO, especially to someone not familiar with the metropolitan area.

I'm coming in from the east along I-70, so according to Google maps, I bail out onto I-670 westbound, south on I-35 one or two exits, and hang a right onto 27th St. It's still on the MO side.

But yeah, I'm not real fond of driving through that area. Pretty crazy most of the time.

You're right. When I GOOGLEd it, the map showed it on the Kansas side, and I went with that. But 1204 W. 27th St, would make it in the 12 hundred block west of Main St. on the Missouri side.

That makes it kwell........

So we meet at The Roasterie at 10am for coffee, and zip over to Bryants for BBQ, and on to BACONFEST.....

Moose can't make it. He started his new job, and has to work 8-4 on Saturday.

Red is my GF. She decided to go antiquing with her daughter next Saturday. That's OK, it leaves more bacon for the rest of us!

Not sure when you left, but it's almost 9 PM and you still haven't darkened my doorway (supposed to have been here 2 hours ago). Broke down somewhere? A phone call would be nice.
