This Hole-In-The-Wall Restaurant In Missouri Is Worth The Drive From Anywhere In The State

Some restaurants earn their reputation through marketing budgets and Instagram filters, and then there’s LC’s Bar-B-Q in Kansas City, Missouri, which earns its reputation the old-fashioned way: through smoke, patience, and meat so good it makes you question every life choice that kept you away this long. If...

The Kansas Buffet That Was Just Named One Of The Top All You Can Eat Spots In The State

Fourteen cooking stations. More than 60 Italian dishes. A cobblestone piazza built right inside a restaurant, with fountains and flower-covered balconies overhead. That combination sounds like a fever dream after too much pasta. Yet it’s real, and it sits in the Kansas City suburbs. Kansas diners recently helped push...

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

This Old-School Missouri Supper Club Has Been Hand-Cutting Steaks Since 1946

A salad named for the year 1957 still lands on tables at one Missouri steakhouse, and people keep ordering it by name. I love when a menu carries its own birthday like that. The prime rib gets talked about more than anything else here. Carrot cake comes in a strong second, which tells you folks save room.

This Kansas City chef who runs a gourmet butcher shop loves gizzards and burgers

Thanksgiving is, without a doubt, the best food holiday on the calendar. It’s also chef Sarah Nelson’s favorite holiday. This is despite the fact that she is put to work on Thanksgiving, given her skill set. “I actually negotiated with my family this year a way for us to do just family gatherings on Thanksgiving, and then do an actual sit-down meal on Black Friday so I can actually enjoy it and not try to be catching up with family while I’m doing all the food,” Nelson said. The holiday is a favorite, she said, because it brings all the comfort foods she enjoys onto the table for one glorious day of gorging. She happens to have access to some of those foods, given that she runs a butcher shop and gourmet grocery store in the Northland with her husband, Louis Guerrieri, the duo that also used to run the Ombra restaurant before it closed in late 2024. Carne Diem just celebrated its second anniversary of being open in the Village at Briarcliff, providing its customers a whole-animal butchery of Missouri-sourced meats like Angus beef, lamb, duck and more. What it means to be a whole animal butchery is to
