Jack Stack Barbeque

While in Kansas City this past weekend, I made sure to make time for some BBQ. We went to Jack Stack Barbeque. It is a classy place with several locations in Kansas City. How was the food? Fantastic. I had brisket and baby back ribs with slaw and beans for a side. Lauren had brisket and pork, which I sampled as well.

Brisket -- 5 stars. So tender that no knife was needed, with a full smokey flavor.

Baby Back Ribs -- 3.5 stars. Also very tender, although a bit on the salty side.

Sliced Pork -- 2 stars. Had more of a "ham" flavor, with not much smoked taste.

Beans -- 5 stars. With little bits of brisket and oh so flavorful. I could have eaten a whole plate full of these. Of course Lauren wouldn't have appreciated the after-effects.

Slaw -- 4 stars. I don't remember what stood out here, but it was a great side.
