I've given Bryants a fair chance, but I just don't think they deliver quality any more. The last time I was there they delivered cold, stringy, fatty beef. I shot a bunch of sauce on top from the bottle on the table, and it wasn't their standard stuff - which is a good thing, because I'm not really a fan of their sauce. This was a hot/sweet version, that I haven't seen in the local (KC) stores yet. I think they're still riding on their reputation and I predict that will last them a good long while, but eventually folks will wise up because, as you mentioned, there are lot's other choices out there. I prefer Gates and their sauce is readily available. Fiorella's too. I'm not sure how available Hayward's (Overland Park, KS) sauce is outside the area, but if you like the hot/sweet style it's excellent.

They've got the huge name recognition and have two extremely well placed restaurants - they catch the out-of-towners with that combination. I've been disappointed every time I've been in there. > > There's a site somewhere that has monthly or weekly reviews and > ratings of bbq restaurants in KC.

Guy and Maes in Williamsburg, KS (South of Ottawa on 35) is on my list - I've heard a lot of good things from multiple sources. I've actually pulled off the highway twice to go there and both times they were closed. > > Bruce > [email removed] >

I would like to try there. There is also a joint downtown I'd like to try. I have been to the Martin City Fiorella's several times and they are pretty good. We went to the Boardroom BBQ several years ago and they had some of the best smoked sausage I've ever had. Ever notice no one ever goes to KC Masterpiece for BBQ. I ate there once years ago. Can't even remember what it was like. I may try it sometime. I believe most Q experts wouldn't walk in the place. OTOH, they make some money. There's a site somewhere that has monthly or weekly reviews and ratings of bbq restaurants in KC. Many are BBQ judges and competitors. One place I really want to try is Boss Hawg's over in Topeka. I've heard they have a pretty good operation with great barbecue. Bruce [email removed]
