Devan’s (Double) Dozen: BBQ Edition, Part II

After a year that took me to nearly every barbeque restaurant, joint, stand, pop-up, and concept in the Kansas City metro, a lot of readers were left asking the one question I had failed to answer, “Which is best?” Here in Kansas City, talking about barbeque is as common as discussing the weather or the local sports team, but far more precarious.

This part contains a countdown from #12 to #1!

There’s been much to-do about our glittering new airport but the part of the story that’s been missed - the Northland now has a gigantic food hall. All the options can be overwhelming so these are my top picks.

Fit For a King

Tomorrow is a big moment for Kansas City. We are opening an entirely new airport that firmly thrusts this city into the 21st century. By any measure, it seems tired that a brand new airport would keep the boring name of the old one. Especially, when we have an opportunity to name it for an oft-overlooked artisan who is responsible for putting Kansas City on the map.
