How much growth will NBAF give Manhattan/KSU?

[8manpick]

you could open an identical Oklahoma Joe's restaurant in mhk under a different name and KC BBQ snobs would be like "it's okay, but it doesn't compare to OKJ's at all.  speaking of, i could really go for a z-man right about now."

this is just a theory i'm working on, fwiw.

As a KC BBQ snob, I don't think onion rings have any place on the sandwich.

[pissclams]

at the sauce place they could have a sauce fire hose that they use to spray down people who come in on their birthday.

new plan. not really new but more of an expansion on "sauces"...what about a place called Bob's Sauce and Sugar Shack. bob would be short for kebob. sauce is self explanatory because there would be like 101 different sauces or something ridic and then sugar would basically be the nickname or slang for hooch aka alcholic drinks. the menu would be like this...

you get to pick one meat or two meats for an extra two dollars or something and then those get put on a kebob. then you also get to choose up to four different fruits/vegatables to also put on the kebob and then the different sauces that you want to be able to dip your meat into or whatever.

example- yeah i'd like chicken and pork (upcharge of $2 for two meats) bobs with red onion, cherry tomatoes, pineaple and mushrooms and also the jerk and medium chipotle sauces.

we could change the shirts to be like "i got sauced at bobs" or "bob got me sauced" or something.

KC BBQ snobs do this with the local chains now with the "i think the old OK Joes/ABs/etc tastes better than new location  X"

someone told me that ok joes makes all their meat on the same smoker at the original location and ships it to the new locations every day.  not sure if true.  either way it sure is great living in kc and having better bbq than everyone else in the world, guys.

not true.  they have smokers cooking outside in the back of their leawood location.

thanks.  I will go punch the guy that told me that.

Pro-top:  Okie Joe's z'mans are pretty good.  But it's the fries that make them king.  Just my O.  YMMV.  Go cats.

the fries are very good and I enjoy the z man, but their burnt ends are the best thing they make.  that said LC's burnt ends are better.

their fries are loaded with MSG.

Might as well be loaded with arsenic and AIDS.  Don't care.

that's a lie and you know it.

shots could be served in ketchup packets

also i somehow overlooked this. that would be amazing. "two tequila shots at table seven" and then the bar tender just throws a couple of packets over at the table and they rip em and chug em and then the whole place explodes with applause because everyone is just having so much fun.

[Ghost of Stan Parrish]

Cox sucks because their sauce sucks.   It's easy to make plain tasty meat, the sauce is what defines a place.

did you try the other 3 sauces?

Yeah, I don't agree with the premise of sauce makes the BBQ at all.

Consistently producing flavorful, moist BBQ is the art of it.

Anything the NBAF can do to MHK cows & pigs to make them more tasty/moist?   

We'll put all those KC joints out of business.

at the sauce place they could have a sauce fire hose that they use to spray down people who come in on their birthday.

that could probably create a pretty big mess.  there might have to be a "Birthday Sauce Splash Zone" area covered in tarps and stuff

They dont care 

Hey guyz, how about you take your BBQ thread elsewhere and stop cluttering our awesome NBAF thread with nonsense.

best idea i've read in years, the BSSZ can have a special "survivors" shirt for people who can survive the sauce hose without falling down

i would think that BBQ is hard to do in MHK.  BBQ isn't cook to order.  when you cook it, you generally have to cook a lot of it.  i would assume that outside of gamedays, there's a lot of waste which means your margins have to be big and your prices higher than you want, or you're selling inferior food that has been sitting around. not food that will make you sick, just food that is overcooked because it's been waiting to sell.

the reason famous daves does well is because they cook their food in a factory and ship it to their stores packaged to handle the transit time and then reheat it at the restaurant.

This is a really good point.  Probably why i've only had Cox at football tailgates, straight off the smoker, very good.  Haven't been to actual restaurant.

That's every bbq place in the world.   Gates, Bryant s, jackstack, ojoes all have walk ins full of food.

Disagree. I've worked in like 6 restaurants in my day and have only seen that in chains. Famous Dave's fits the bill, Bryant's does not.


Clams is spot on, imo.

I've been in every single one of those places coolers and have seen it with my own two eyes.   Worked for a Budweiser distributor in high school and college,  I've been in like every kitchen in the world.
