Oklahoma Joes (Kansas City) Review
Posted: 21 Oct 2010, 16:54Oklahoma Joes BBQ Restaurant, Kansas City
Just off the south bound I35 running out of Kansas City you’ll find an unassuming petrol station. If you don’t need to stop for fuel, you’d drive right by. This green and white, no name fuel station sitting on 3002 W 47th Avenue, gives away its true treasures by the faint whiff of smoke, a parking lot filled with a cross section of society (RV’s, 4x4 and bankers beamers) and at lunch, a queue all the way out the front door. We found a spot, piled out and ambled into the hallowed ground, that is now known as the home of ‘the’ BBQ restaurant, Oklahoma Joe’s BBQ. This hidden gem, was made an international name by the ever popular Chef Anthony Bourdain in his article "13 Places to Eat Before you Die", published in Mens Health.
The rest of the article is on the BBQ Fanatic's http://www.bbqfanatics.co.uk/2010/10/oklahoma-joes-bbq-restaurant-kansas.html , but all I wanted to say is that it was an AMAZING experience. Worth travelling for!
