Give me a reason to hate Kansas City
I'm finding it hard to hate Kansas City.
Mrs. Marv is from Kansas City!

About this blog
You are reading the archives. For updated blog posts about the Maryland food scene, see Richard Gorelick's new Baltimore Diner blog.
Richard Gorelick was appointed The Baltimore Sun's restaurant critic in September 2010. Before joining the paper staff fulltime, he contributed freelance criticism and features articles about food to area and regional publications. Along the way, he dispatched for short-distance trucking companies, shilled for cultural non-profits, and assisted in cognitive neurology research – never the subject, always the control.
He takes restaurants seriously but not himself, and his favorite restaurant is the one you love, too.

Well, let's see: The playoffs start somewhere. And usually if the first team happens to be Kansas City , That's reason to at least NOT LIKE Kansas City. Hate is a strong word. So, mostly everyone rooting for the Ravens does NOT LIKE the Kansas City team. I don't like that it's so far away, and I missed it on my way to Arizona.

Really? You too? Can we PLEASE leave this irrational,absurd, and somewhat embarrasing Baltimore hate thing for the sports pages?
Here, I'll even meet you halfway...KC is known for steaks and BBQ. Sounds like a damn good tailgate to me!!

Frequent Little Italy Restaurant Visitor hit the nail on the head. I am going this weekend for the game, ribs, and steak. Not necessarily in that order.
Posted by: mdlrvrmuncher | January 4, 2011 9:37 PM
I reserve all my hate for Indianapolis, which is tough since everyone I've ever met from Indy has been really nice to me.
As for KC the most smack I can muster is that Carolina BBQ is far superior to Kansas City style.

I like KC...Dave's Stage Coach Inn. Your first stop after probation. A nice local joint. And yes, KC is in Missou, not Kansas.

@billy butterbean -- No, actually it's in both states. KCMO and KCK, for short. KCMO is the real Kansas City. KCK is kinda gnarly, and not the good kinda gnarly.
Back in '04, I was a member of a Kansas City pocket bike gang called the Cobra Kai. That was before they had laws against riding pocket bikes in the city. I wrote a piece about it for the Kansas City Star.

Found the piece!

Man I love the Internets. Also, re-reading my old, college-age writing is physically painful.

Sam, Sam, Sam. How soon we forget.
Any place that doesn't like Jazzy Jeff also must hate puppies.

Oh snap! I totally forgot about that little dust-up. Messy, messy messy!

I don't know about hating Kansas City, but for anyone going there for the game, there's something neat to see right in the city market area. It is the Steamboat Arabia Museum and here's the link. www.1856.com. It is a steamboat that sank in the Missouri River and was buried for around 150 years. It is partially reconstructed inside the museum and there are displays of its cargo, including boots, lanterns, locks, other items needed on the prairie, and even boxes of oysters from the Chesapeake Bay.

Too far to drive for the BBQ.
Posted by: Alexander D. Mitchell IV | January 6, 2011 12:15 PM
Yes, but the Boulevard Brewery is kinda worth the plane ticket.
Not the drive though.

"but the Boulevard Brewery is kinda worth the plane ticket."
Pretty sure you don't have to fly all the way to KC to get Boulevard brew (I have a bottle of their quad resting quietly in my fridge right now). However, I'll grant you that the tank 7 and brett infected saison are mighty, mighty tasty.
