Mom, this is why the BBQ was cold.

I went for a run yesterday on the Trolley Trail in Kansas City. I went from Brookside to the far edge of the park next to the Plaza and the JC Nichols fountain. During my run, I saw this beautiful sign. I went back today, after picking up some lunch, to shoot a picture.


I love this town. Sorry it made the BBQ cold, mom.


Said BBQ came from one of my favorite such restaurants in Kansas City: Oklahoma Joe's. Technically, this place is in Kansas, but it's so tasty and has the added charm of being located in a gas station that it makes up for being in the inferior state.


Normally I like to get the Z-Man both because it's freaking delicious and because I used to snicker at the name when I was first learning quantum mechanics. It is roast beef with melted provolone cheese and two onion rings on a kaiser bun. This time, however I opted to try something different--the Hog Heaven. This one's pulled pork with slices of sausage. I rounded out the meal with sides of fries and bbq beans. I'm feeling pretty healthy right now.
