After living in Memphis for over two years, my husband and I definitely have come to know some great BBQ. And, like any Memphian, we have our favorite spots for ribs, pulled pork plates, and pulled pork sandwiches (no brisket here).
So, when announcing the news of our relocation to Kansas City, we were not really surprised that the most common response was, "Well, you will still have BBQ, but you'll have to settle with wet." I know, right? Probably not the first thought that comes to mind for anyone living oustide of the city that hosts the annual World Championship BBQ Competition each spring. But, this response directed our food selection when we were in KCMO last week. We wanted to do a comparison and see whether wet (or with BBQ sauce) was worse than dry (or with rub). Our first stop: Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbeque, which is located in the historic Freight House in the downtown Crossroads Art District.
Now, this BBQ restaurant was not a dive like most of the places we frequent for BBQ in Memphis. Instead, everyone is a bit more polished, and the prices a bit more expensive. We were lucky that we had been at a meeting prior to dinner, so we were both moderately dressed.
Outfit Details:
Tank: Old Navy (last season, but similar here)
Maxi Skirt: Forever 21 (this season, but sold out. Similar here)
Belt: J.Crew (as seen here and here)
Sandals: Steve Madden (available here)
Necklace: LL Original (inspired by Anthropologie)
Watch: Pulsar (gifted)
Purse: Brooks Brothers (previously seen here)
And, my husband and I both agreed that the BBQ at Jack Stack was good, but not quite as good as our favorite BBQ shop (which is Central BBQ, in case you were wondering).
