Quite by accident, I just found out on the internet that Biffle's Smoke House BBQ in Concordia, Missouri has closed, as the owners retired and moved to Phoenix. Good for them. Lousy for anybody straying too far from Kansas City and needing some real Kansas City barbecue on the road.
They now sell their wonderful sauce online at www.bifflesbbq.com, but they are not at the restaurant off I-70 any more. (Maybe I can get a free case of sauce from them for their link here, posted for all 3 people that ever read this blog)!
OH NO, MY PERSONAL KC BBQ WORLD IS CRASHING DOWN!!!
Quick's Seventh Street.... GONE!
Biffle's.... GONE!
Mr. Epps... GONE or BACK? He never could decide and I can't keep track; somebody please drive over by Stan's and tell me what's going on next door. Get yourself a $1.99 Po-Boy sandwich if the sign is out, I'll pay.
Ricky's Pit... GONE too deep in the 'hood for even a certified city-boy like me to attempt it. Or gone back to Arkansas for good this time?
Who is going next? And I can't even enjoy the places that are still out there, because I am sojourning in the Great White North where nobody even knows what barbecue is !!!
At least the chain Bandana's BBQ that was in town closed before we ever moved up here. After a few more years of doing without, I might have had to break down and walk into that place if it were still open. I am spared from that humiliating and pathetic fate. I could never forgive myself for such weakness.
