I'm watching from Suffolk, England. The food looks excellent! I need to book a flight!

[@Oggi7777]

Yeah no kidding right ? Arthur Bryant’s and Gates Classic KC bbq you need it.

[@cbruggeman25]

What's crazy is, there is like a 100 more bbq joints that are pretty damn good lol

[@GarethEats]

Haha, I believe it! 😅

[@ChiefsAllProTailgater]

On your next visit try Jack Stack (best baked beans in town) and Harp. Harp is moving to Overland Park KS around Labor Day weekend. I'm surprised you didn't get served the Andy Reid special at Q39 (LOL),

[@timothywilliams2601]

Harp is really good. But they're never open for dinner time.

[@anthonyperkins1668]

You should've went to LC'S. The best BBQ. Chiefs Kingdom!

[@GarethEats]

Looking at the comments, I guess I F*kd up! LOL

[@bransonreynolds3936]

SLAPs is #1

[@GarethEats]

They were incredible!

[@Jacob-nu4nd]

Overrated, small portions their sauces way too sweet

[@luanneschaper8155]

Slaps has great ribs

[@Vegassheik]

New up-and-comers Wolfpack, Chef J, and Harps. Haprs has been written up in several national publications and rated the best in the country. These are more Texas-style. PS Joe's is Travis and his mom's favorite BBQ joint although I doubt he can eat there anymore. .

[@mod2868]

Dude, you should have reviewed the beans. I drove from New Jersey with a cooler back to Joe's and got myself a gallon of them. One of the best things I've ever eaten on the road.

[@iryanjones]

My mother at 78 years old lives near Slaps and Gates. I live in Independence Mo. When she needs me I pass by Slaps

[@blueducst4]

As a Raider fan, I feel you man.

[@GarethEats]

👊

[@pops1966]

Copy that. Silver and Black Baby☠

[@rob12124d]

Just throwing this out there. On the ZMan, it's actually smoked provolone. I swear that is what makes that thing next level.

[@frankthegreat-]

See new Gareth Eats video - watches instantly

[@GarethEats]

I appreciate you 👊

[@aidangarrett7295]

KC native here, If you find yourself at Joe's again, get that Z-man but order it "Jumbo" (extra brisket) and on Texas toast instead of the kaiser roll. It gets you a much better meat-to-bread ratio.

[@NatureBoii99]

Love to see Slaps getting some love!

[@GarethEats]

Their ribs were insane!!

[@brandonmoore2237]

I've never been much of a barbecue fan, but man...after watching this video, I might have to rethink some things! All of the ribs you tried looked incredible, as did the brisket. I kinda want it all now hahaha 🤤

[@KCTopDawg]

KC is BBQ paradise

[@GarethEats]

True story!

[@kcinks]

Joe's everyday but Sunday?....That sounds crazy!

[@tget105]

I went to KC a few years ago and I hit a few BBQ joints and Joes was one of them. They had the best BBQ I tasted down there. #Go Bills!!!

[@user-zi5nu4rw4k]

i'd bet he took boxes of our National Secrets to Scotland on that sudden trip.

[@LuciaMorales-jt4dy]

You took it like a champ 👏

[@GarethEats]

Haha, appreciate it! 👊

[@markwduns]

I passed an Autozone on Palm Ave & 13th St (where San Diego & Imperial Beach meet), and someone had a smoker going full steam. This made me wish I had stopped, but 9am might have been a little too early.

[@dadever]

As a Browns fan, I can only feel your pain. What the heck is it with these teams along the Lake Erie shoreline, my man?

[@peterwinstonaldredge6927]

You had me laughing on the floor within the first 48 seconds! I am new to your channel and didn't know where you were from. I'm glad you liked the KC BBQ. Being from Buffalo, NY you should try the wings at The Peanut on Main St. I would be curious to know what you think of them. Again, new to your channel so don't know if you have already done a video on that. I'll search your channel to see.

[@georgemontgomery7783]

Nice video but u need to come eat this Texas BBQ. Look us up homie!

[@gabepickle]

One of the newer spots that's in North KC that has amazing BBQ is 3 Halves Brewpub and BBQ in Liberty, MO. Everyone always goes to Q39, Joe's and SLAPs when they visit KC. Sometimes the unpopular choice has the best BBQ ;)

[@deidrecalabro5725]

There's always next year 🏈🏟️🏈till then eat BBQ

[@ski9600]

smoked turkey is great!!!!!

[@GarethEats]

Agreed!

[@brianmoody2549]

I go with the second place the Ends look the best ,ribs look good.know number three The Brisket had a lot of flavor.

[@carlosjohnson2882]

Yes next time please try all of them like: Gates, Author Bryant BBQ., also could you please share which one was the best. Thanks.

[@leeleddy8192]

Also try Brobecks BBQ in Overland Park and Haywards BBQ pit in Shawnee

[@ChisholmTrailBBQSmokers]

Great stuff

[@GarethEats]

Thank you!

[@Robert-gw4ro]

Gareth, next time in KC, go to Excelsior Springs and check out Wabash BBQ. They are also pretty good. 3Halves Brewery also has some great BBQ.

[@quarterbackin3262]

Jack Stack next time 🔥🔥

[@mikeknaus6105]

Go Chiefs! You need to check out Authur Bryant’s and Gates and sons next time. 👍🏻

[@KSChaote]

I grew up East of Buffalo and have been a lifelong Bills fan but live in KC so I truly feel your pain.

[@Onetwothreepeanuts]

Brother, you're a Bills fan. It doesn't matter where you live. You'll still be feeling the pain.😂

[@mac57dave]

Hayward's BBQ 75th Shawnee Ks Good stuff

[@danielbergks]

Not bbq, but the peanut has great wings. Bryant’s, Gate’s, Smokehouse, and LC’s have to be on the list if you go back.

[@GarethEats]

We actually spent 24 hours at Arthur Bryant's on the main channel 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iounpKOgoN2Diqs

[@victormartinez5580]

The original Arthur Bryant's near downtown kcmo is not to be missed. Several presidents have eaten there

[@GimmeABReakd0wn]

Pretty sure he also hit there but dedicated an entire video to it. This was just extra content.

[@christianfuentes5416]

LC BBQ

[@GarethEats]

Yep. looks like I missed LCs on this trip! We did hit Arthur Bryant's though (video on my main channel)

[@user-dj2ob4jk5m]

my house is 1 minute walking distance. TBH it used to taste much better

[@LeahNickle-q9g]

Go where?

[@rongibson5712]

Try smoke creations in Ottawa Kansas great barbecue

[@croonch85]

Fins up!!!!! Go Dolphins!!!!

[@hemaccabe4292]

Was not impressed by slaps. Those ribs looked stewed. The brisket was poorly trimmed lean. Hope it tasted better than it looked.

[@venskietv4436]

Mouth waterings🤤

[@keithsharp7849]

Hey come to KC anytime we appreciate you Bills fans losing (spending money) in our town 😂 but seriously great content and I appreciate the honest review- now get lost looooooooser

[@Jeff-sh4kx]

I would have stopped in Gate's before Joe's

[@GarethEats]

That's fair.

[@Jeff-sh4kx]

@@GarethEats Good video though!

[@GimmeABReakd0wn]

This is a wild comment. As a KC native, Gate's may be one of my last choices of all the iconic spots. The one's he hit are literally the highest rated for a reason.

[@shaneb1313]

Oh look, honey, a KZbinr is critiquing the Kansas City at the gas station. What an original idea!

[@GarethEats]

Haha, I actually agree with you. Have you seen this one, it's much better 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iounpKOgoN2Diqs

[@junelagomez8410]

Chaaaalaaaap naman 😋😋😋🥰🥰🥰🇵🇭

[@OOOGrey_Bush]

Ya you missed a few choice spots Gates, Jack Stack to name a couple. But I'd recommend coming back during a home game. You can smell the BBQ as soon as you get close. Even a Bills fan is welcome. In addition there is nothing like going to the American Royal. You should go at least once in your life.

I recently had ribs and burnt ends at Joe's in Olathe. The ribs were so salty they were almost inedible. The the burnt ends were nothing of note either.

[@monit2827]

How can you eat so much?

[@GarethEats]

Dedication. 😊

[@mattstrausbaugh621]

If you come all the way to KC and don’t go to Arthur Bryant’s or Gates, what’s even the point?

[@ech4ng]

He did go to Arthur Bryant's, it's on his main channel.

Bryant’s sucks. All rep. Tastes terrible. People who think it’s good are not reliable people.

@@Hannibalmiles8494 I don’t think you saw what I said about Joes. It was NOT complimentary.

[@mojojim6458]

This is a far cry from BBQ cooked in oil drums cut in half and hinged that I'm used to.

[@hemaccabe4292]

I had burnt ends at Joe’s. They sucked so bad. They keep the chunks sitting in salty grease. So bad.

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

14:34 looks like Slaps sure likes to slice their brisket pretty thin. there is only one reason to slice brisket that thin 🙄🤐

[@hemaccabe4292]

Joes needs to dress up their crap brisket with lots of stuff on the sandwich because the brisket tastes like old, wet, rancid newspapers.

[@TheJayhawker83]

Spoken like someone who eats old, wet, rancid newspapers.

[@jimherron5540]

That’s not the best.
