USA Today list ranks the best of Kansas City BBQ. Which joint is No. 1?

Declaring the very best version of Kansas City barbecue coming out of the many beloved joints in the metro area is often a futile and controversial task — it depends on one’s preference and the day and time a diner goes to a restaurant, and you best be prepared to defend it. But each year, publications, influencers and anyone online with an opinion tackle the scary job of ranking our barbecue and sharing their findings. USA Today, the national media company that owns newspapers across the country, including in Missouri and Kansas, published the 2026 readers’ choice list of 10 best Kansas City-style BBQ restaurants on Oct. 28. Last year the publication’s readers voted, strangely, to award a non-Kansas City joint (Stateline Road Smokehouse in Napa, California) with the No. 1 spot on a Kansas City BBQ list — though to be fair, owner Darryl Bell is originally from Kansas City. But it seems those readers righted their wrongs, with a Kansas City-based barbecue restaurant earning the most votes to claim the top spot. That best barbecue restaurant is Slap’s BBQ , a KC spot that’s often considered one of the best to ‘cue and has produced a loyal following

Mice droppings on shelves, gnats under sink: Latest KC-area restaurant inspections

From moldy food on grocery displays to roaches under a soda machine, health inspectors in Missouri and Kansas found numerous violations at Kansas City-area restaurants last week. Dining establishments like sit-down restaurants, drive-thrus, gas stations and grocery stores are required to get food inspections, and governments have to release those inspections to the public. In Kansas City and Independence, each city’s health department enforces the food code while in Kansas, the state’s Department of Agriculture handles inspections. The lower the number of violations, the better. Most restaurants correct violations at the time of the original inspection or shortly after. The full inspections show how each establishment has corrected or is working to correct any remaining violations. They are available for Kansas City at inspectionsonline.us/foodsafety/mousakansascity/search.htm and Johnson and Wyandotte counties at portal.kda.ks.gov/Food/FoodInspectionSearch. Here are the restaurants in Kansas City, Johnson and Wyandotte Counties that received seven or more priority and priority foundation ​violations from Oct. 25-31. No eateries in Independence met the threshold during this time period. Midtown Market-Desi Dhaba 3967 Main St. Nine violations found during Oct. 26 inspection Roaches were seen on a wall, while dead roaches were seen in paper towel dispenser. An employee was seen cutting cilantro

New KC-area coffee shop opens, bringing a taste of K-State to Johnson County

Between a steady stream of athleisure-clad customers Monday were a smattering of those sporting Wildcat-lavender sweatshirts and TWA tees. They stood inside what was previously an antique shop of 20 years. Those items have been cleared, and a row of first-class seats from a Delta plane currently lines an interior wall. A Nuova Simonelli espresso machine now hums atop a bar covered in reflective steel. Several aviation pieces — an old plane window, a wooden propeller, a suitcase from the 60s — were supplied by associates of the TWA Museum in Kansas City, a museum honoring the Trans World Airlines that was once headquartered in Kansas City and operated for several decades. It’s adjacent to the Charles Wheeler Airport downtown. Though it just opened, Kansas State alumni are likely already familiar with the new coffee shop in Overland Park. For the past five years, its original launch pad has been a popular fixture in downtown Manhattan. Flight Crew quietly opened its second location at 8025 Santa Fe Drive Monday, bringing an elevated (flight-themed) concept to downtown Overland Park. It’s open daily, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., starting now. Owner and founder Heather Hnizdil threw open the doors and crossed
