This picture should explain how I felt the morning of this trip:
Apparently, so did the guy in the fourth row.
A quick trip to Kansas City since we are running out of Arthur Bryant’s BBQ Sauce, and they won’t sell and ship to me wholesale, but if I show up at the restaurant they will give me a case discount.
It’s also a good excuse to visit friends.
Went straight from the airport with Paul to Lawrence to have dinner at Merchants with Wendy.
Inside of an old bank building, where the restrooms are in the old safe.
An interesting cocktail to start. In A Pickle was my choice:
Lots of appetizers split three ways:
And a split sandwich…Brussel sprouts and mac & cheese as sides:
And because Paul was there, dessert:
Got back to Kansas City around 9PM to meet up with Gail who had a meeting conflict with dinner…stayed up until 3AM (well, Paul and I) chatting away, catching up from a year between visits.
In the morning, it was coffee before heading to the Nelson-Atkins for lunch and art…
Gail left before Paul and I wandered around a bit, then took off for Arthur Bryants for a case of sauce.
A bit of a panic ensued…my plan was to pick up two cases of their sauce in plastic bottles – which they didn’t have I stock so I had to do glass. With plastic I could just slap a bag tag on it and check it. With glass we had to stop by Office Depot for bubble wrap and an exterior box. Total pain that doesn’t bode well for future purchases.
Not sure why they didn’t have it in plastic – found it in plastic behind security albeit at double the price I paid with the case discount.
A fun, but brief trip. There is the possibility of a March trip as a four night stay with Rache as it’s on his list of places to visit.

Did you visit the “walking wall?” Lemme know when you return in March.
They were in the process of dismantling it when I was there.
The foods looks delicious! But is this in KCK or KCMO?
