+1 on all of the above. Jack's didn't exist when I left KC, but my parents swear by it. They are both Kansas City Barbecue Society certified Judges (Dad's a Master level). The dumpier the place the better IMHO. :-) G, is Oklahoma Joe's still a gas station/bbq restaurant? > Two big names in the history of organized crime and political corruption in > the history of KC: > > Civella and Pendergast.

The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is one of the best in the country. Highly underrated. They've got my favorite painting in the whole world there, Caravaggio's "John the Baptist." I used to go to the museum just to see that painting. When I visit KC, I always make time to go to the Nelson.
