FCS: Best of 2023
For me, this edition of Fountain City Superlatives is always special as I get a chance to recap the year that I had. However, after a year of focusing on almost-exclusively barbeque, I worried that I may not have much more to give. Thankfully, that was not the case. This breaks down the best new things I tried in Kansas City in 2023. Some of the categories you know and love are missing. Some others are brand new. But here lies a, mostly, non-barbeque recap of my year.
FCS: Best of 2022
Every year brings its own path of discovery. 2022 was not only a big year for Kansas City but for me and my own attempts to be more of a tourist in my own city. Of all the new places and things I tried this year, these were my favorites. And so once again, I bring you my end of the year Fountain City Superlatives.
Pack Mentality
If there’s one thing that I can take from my time getting to know the guys behind Wolfepack BBQ it’s that, “Barbeque is a community food.” So for this Northtown eatery, who prides itself on innovation, Wolfepack is more than a good pun. It’s an indicator of how this team approaches their craft day-in and day-out. Without their pack, nothing else would be possible.
FCS: Best of 2021
As the year comes to a close, I award my Fountain City Superlatives for the 2021 year. As a deviation from what many publications do, these superlatives are much more personal. They are not necessarily the best in KC - they are just the best new experiences I had in KC in 2021. As always, there’s no voters - it’s just me.
The Microquewery
One of the latest entrants to Kansas City’s barbeque scene, there is nothing typical about Fox & Fire Barbecue in North Kansas City. Permanently parked by the Callsign Brewing patio, Fox & Fire is Texas-inspired and Kansas City-infused. A marriage of microbrews and microque, the day-glo orange trailer (and affiliated brewery) is quickly becoming a must-visit weekend destination for many in the metro.
