Today's lunch was at RJ's Bob-Be-Que Shack in Mission, Kansas. It looks
like an old BBQ dive, but it has only been open since October, 2003. There
was only one other party in the restaurant and I sat at the counter, so
the manager ended up talking with me during much of my meal. It was interesting
learning more of the history of the restaurant.
The
most interesting thing, was learning that RJ's is haunted, which I had
never heard before. There are loud noises in the basement, the figure of
a white haired woman has been seen, and the most common thing is coming
into the restaurant nd finding that pictures have come off the wall overnight.
So many have come off that many of the photos no longer have glass in the
frames.
My
smoked chicken wings were good as always, I like them better dry or with
the Southern BBQ Sauce, than with the Buffalo sauce which came on the side.
The seasoned fries were good as well.

We revisited Taste of Kansas City BBQ & Grill today. We had dined there
once before in March of last year. Most people get their food to go and
there was only one other person who dined in while we were there.
Today
we had a half slab of pork ribs, sausage, burnt ends, fries and onion rings.
I really liked the ribs, onion rings and fries. The burnt ends had little
flavor and were tough. The two meat platter with one side was expensive
at $25, but came with a lot of meat. The leftover burnt ends alone were
enough for two of us to have for supper.
We
saw that they were baking cookies and bought a couple of peanut butter
cookies and a chocolate chip. The chocolate chip was very good, but the
peanut butter was heavenly.
