I'm going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come
I'm going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come
They got a crazy way of loving there
And I'm gonna get me some.
I'll be standing on the corner
On the corner of Twelfth Street and Vine
I'm gonna be standing on the corner
On the corner of Twelfth Street and Vine
With my Kansas City baby
And a bottle of Kansas City wine.
Well I might take a train
I might take a plane, but if I have to walk
I'm gonna get there just the same
I'm going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come
They got a crazy way of loving there
And I'm gonna get me some.
I'm gonna pack my clothes
Leave at the break of dawn
I'm gonna pack my clothes
Everybody will be sleeping
Nobody will know where I've gone
Cause if I stay in town
I know I'm gonna die.
Gotta find a friendly city
And that's the reason why,
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
They got a crazy way of loving there
And I'm gonna get me some.
Q: "What's so great about KC anyway?"
A: Barbeque.
That's all I'm doing this summer. Eating barbeque. Not just anyone gets a chance to eat KC bbq, which is a real shame. Perhaps you're familiar with "KC Masterpiece" bbq sauce. Of course that stuff only shares superficial resemblance to the real thing (plus you probably suck at barbecuing meat, if you're anything like the rest of the U.S. Don't even tell me Texas > KC bbq, that's a lie, although Memphis does have some good stuff, but KC is still the best).
Jack Stack, Zarda's, I'm sure the list goes on. Which is part of the reason I'm writing this, who is from KC and has recommendations. My goal is to eat only bbq when I eat out, I'll probably fail but it's a noble goal anyway. Where else is there but Jack Stack and Zarda's? I know there are plenty of places but I want to know what's good if anyone knows. Drop some names, locations, etc.
