In honor of the big 12 tournament my thoughts on big 12 teams as eating establishments.
1. Kansas = Joe's Kansas City
Best BBQ in town. Long lines to get your food, but it's usually worth it. Unfortunately, it doesn't always beat BBQ from other regions.
2. Texas Tech = Stroud's
The Red Raiders being really good at basketball feels like eating really good fried chicken in a barbecue town.
3. West Virginia = Garozzo's Ristorante
I imagine this is where Bob Huggins eats all of his meals.
4. Kansas State = Minsky's Pizza
Good pizza, but not good enough to be an iconic dining destination.
5. TCU = Fritz's
The Horned Frogs love the sound of a train horn. They would probably get a kick out of seeing their food delivered on mini-trains.
6. Baylor = Q39
All the ingredients are there, but it doesn't always live up to expectations.
7. Texas = Jack Stack
It's like normal BBQ, only fancier!
8. Oklahoma State = Arthur Bryant's
The team boycotted Joe's after it removed Oklahoma from its name.
9. Oklahoma = Gates
The staff yells "Can I help you?" when you enter the restaurant. Seems like a good place for Trae Young's teammates to visit before they play Oklahoma State.
10. Iowa State = Winstead's
Quick and convenient spot for the Cyclones to grab a bite before they head back to Ames late Wednesday night.
