Shipping Off to Austin
In certain parts of this great nation, barbeque is so much more than food—it’s a religion. Ribs, briskets, and sausages are meant not only to be consumed but revered. Here in Kansas City, we know this all too well. But the burden of my curiosity left me wanting more, so when the chance presented itself to dig into the offerings of another barbeque mecca, I had to take the leap. This is the story of my smoke-filled odyssey through Central Texas.
Manhattan Knight
As Grand Boulevard re-opens after another successful Big XII Basketball Tournament, I think back on my first year as a fan of a Big XII school. As a passionate UCF fan, the addition of the Knights to the conference gave me a number of opportunities to support my team this year, including a memorable day in Manhattan, Kansas. These were some of the highlights.
Q in the Lou
Sandwiched between Kansas City and Memphis, St. Louis often struggles to stand out nationally from the styles of either. And even though St. Louis’ greatest landmark encourages all who see it to head west to the World Capital of BBQ, that does not mean their scene should be overlooked. While the majority of BBQ joints in St. Louis are rather new, the city very quietly owns one of the better BBQ restaurant scenes in America, and it should be enjoyed for what it is.
The Big O
It’s that time of the year once again! Thousands of people will soon descend upon Omaha, Nebraska for the College World Series as 8 schools vie for the National Championship of NCAA Division I baseball. With it being an easy three hour drive up I-29, I decided to share some of my Omaha favorites with those making the trip.
A Walk In The Parks, Pt. III
At long last, the tale of my summer travels with my brother Connor comes to an end. We concluded our trip at Yellowstone National Park. While it has long been THE national park and we were excited to visit, you can never quite prepare for the oddity and geology of Yellowstone. It truly is a bizarre place.
A Walk In The Parks, Pt. II
Since the summer of 2019, my brother Connor and I have embarked on a trip every June to explore a new National Park. After an incredible night in Idaho Falls, we had a memorable breakfast and then made our way to Grand Teton National Park where the beautiful hiking trails and ample wildlife viewing opportunities made this one of my favorite parks I have visited.
A Walk In The Parks, Pt. I
Since the summer of 2019, my brother Connor and I have embarked on a trip every June to explore a new National Park. With Southwest opening up flights to Bozeman, MT earlier this year, we knew it was finally time to cross Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons off our list. But first, we had to make an 86 mile detour in the hopes of meeting a Kansas City legend - a man that true Royals’ fans know as “Country Breakfast”.
Sing The Queen City
In the aftermath of COVID-19, I could not wait to travel again! As a baseball fan with the obvious goal of visiting every Major League Baseball stadium, one had always evaded me - Great American Ballpark, home of the Cincinnati Reds. Prepared to fly for the first time in 16 months, I had no doubts where my first trip would be. While I came for the baseball and chili, I found in the Queen City an absolute gem of a city that more people should be talking about.
#nomaDD: MLB Stadium Rankings
#nomaDD posts take me beyond Kansas City. As a travel enthusiast and lifelong baseball fan, I have had the opportunity to catch a game at 31 different MLB stadiums. These are my personal rankings of these ballparks.
