We had a couple Famous Daves in Wichita.  They went out of business in like a year.

If you can't even get his name correct, you probably shouldn't cite him.

Get some shoes, hick.

I have a hard time taking a pigfucker's advice on restaurants on any kind.  Seems like the whole "no shoes, no shirts" rule would seriously limit their dining options.

maybe you should take this as motivation. maybe start a band that includes yelling and/or XxScreamingxX about the pains of being a person who has so much love and yet doesn't get enough of it. maybe put it all in the context of a car crash. i'm sure it will make your dad finally realize, "hey, i don't pay enough attention to my fabulous kid" and finally teach you how to throw/catch a football or baseball. Go get em.

This is a good start Jay, but don't think we forget what you said about us just joking around and trying to fool the pigaggie posters.  We take a lot of pride in our unbiased analysis of the college sports landscape, and we are definitely not "fake" fans.

When I was in Austin a goEMAW Austin native took me to wait in line for 2 1/2 hours for Franklin Barbecue. It was super delicious but I kept wanting to use the sauces which were not good. I guess its just hard to break your bbq habits. Seriously though, the most tender brisket I've ever eaten.

Zagat named Fiorella's Jack Stack the best barbecue house in the world.

Playboy named Arthur Bryant's the best restaurant in the world.

I mean really, just take your pick. Hard to decide which KC bbq is best, but they're all 1000x better than the disgusting slop Arkansas calls bbq.

[MarilynKay]

been to Craig's in Arkansas for BBQ---didn't like it.  Too much vinegar in the sauce.

Grew up too close to Texas, prefer tomato based.

But, living where I live now--I'd give anything for some good BBQ! (and Mexican food--can't find any good salsa and margaritas!)

It's been a while since I've been to (or lived in Arkansas)--can't remember all the good restaurants.

But whatever you do, don't buy into the hype of Rendezvous in Memphis.  It isn't all that...

True that.

Ok Joe's, Stack, and LC's are all far superior than that memphis trash.

   Now I have to agree JAck Stack Kicks Ass, Also that on in the Northland in NKC.. That has the awesome Burnt ends.. My mind is blanks, been there once, had to get there at 11 am to get some, the sale out they are done.  Damn what is the name of that.

LC's is terrible now.  it has been for the past few years, i think there was a management change and they now serve dog meat.

i'm guessing the place in the northland is Smokehouse BBQ in Gladstone, it's ok.  BBQ is hard to be consistent.  jackstack and okie joes are the most consistent places in town which, to me, makes them the best.

I used to work near LC's and my officemates were fanatics. I never understood the appeal. This was even after they got shut down for a while (I don't know this for a fact) and reopened serving worse quality food.

[Skipper44]

Going to Bubba's near Eureka Springs has been a bit of a family tradition when down that way, is there any other places that I need to try in the NW Ark area?

BBQ wise?
no


if you ever make it to Fayetteville, go to the Catfish Hole. i don't like catfish, but their shrimp and hush puppies are awesome. and everyone says their catfish is the best they've ever had (out of towners) just a warning though: arkansas memorabilia is everywhere.

Nope the best in the northland is Smokin Guns down in Northtowne on about 9th and swift.  Used to only be open like 11am-6pm M-F since they did competitions every weekend. (there are hundreds of trophys and ribbons in the place).  Finally last year they opened on saturdays and now stay open late enough to actually eat dinner there.
