GAS STATION Sells BEST BBQ EVER?! Joe's Kansas City BBQ FOOD REVIEW

good morning today heading through chicago via kansas city via oklahoma city it's kind of a long drive so i'm gonna break it down to two lakes i'm gonna just stay in kansas city tonight apparently there's a barbecue there that's not just considered the best barbecue in kansas city it's also in a gas station let me show you well first of all there's a burger place in oklahoma city it's supposed to be out of this world let's go [Music] before leaving texas one last stop at the beaver [Music] let's put together a gift bag [Music] got everything goodbye beaver [Music] [Music] i'm going to feed my car first before feeding myself so this is it the most famous barbecue joint in kansas city joe's kansas city barbecue and it's also a gas station so if there ever is a time where you're like well i'm starving but i also need to gas up this place solves all your problems there's a long line though hopefully they're not out of some stuff my original plan was to get here around 4 30 so there won't be that many people here obviously i failed right now it's about seven o'clock this place is packed inside it's packed outside i think for the sake of just being safe uh it's gonna come back tomorrow 11am when it first opens then they'll meet will be fresh be the first in line i think that's a better idea so for dinner apparently there's another really good barbecue place nearby let's go check it out [Music] look at this this feels like about five pounds of barbecue um i got three dishes it feels like there's a lot of food in here whoa half a slab of ribs brisket burnt and burger and apparently these are the best wings on this planet that's what they said on their menu so this is the other really renowned barbecue place in kansas city now i haven't had barbecue since yesterday in texas so i'm really excited uh when i used to live in kansas city i spent a summer here living and working i'm ashamed to say never tried barbecue in kansas city whole summer i think i was living in gladstone never had a kansas city barbecue i told you guys at one point in my life i wasn't really interested in new foods i mean i like food but i was just happy sticking with steak and shake and olive garden [Music] these smell so good so good [Music] so they claim these wings are the best in the world i gotta tell ya they're not far off these are transcendent you know what's so amazing about this is it's saucy on the outside so you wouldn't really think it but it's got such a nice subtle crunch on the inside this kind of tastes like korean fried chicken that sauce is so good sweet and tingy with just a perfect bite of heat oh this chicken wing is amazing and so is the sauce oh that's so good so so good kansas city brisket so they didn't really ask me what i oh sorry in some burnt ends too look at this heck [Music] first of all let me just say something god that ring is beautiful and this brisket is pretty lean it looks like a little sliver of fat on the outside i just try the the burnt ends let me just take a bite of this first [Music] the brisket is delicious the burnt ends are all freaking believable these might be the best burn zens i ever put in my mouth and i've been eating a lot of burnt ends since i moved to texas the thing about these burnings is that they're not as tender as a lot of the ones you're going to find in texas it's not going to melt in your mouth as much but the way it does break down it's like every time you chew you get that you get a such a great whiff of smoke they didn't do anything to this it's not candied or anything like that and even though these are leaner pieces so amazingly tender and breaks apart in your mouth upon the first shoe wow unbelievable 100 get that when you come here biscuit is good but it is a little dry but that burned in wow oh look at this oh this is the burns and sandwich look at this they put two ginormous fatty pieces of burnt ends on top of a burger patty with jalapenos and pickles second burger of the day how did i become so lucky [Music] this is amazing here the burnt end just melts in your mouth the burger patty has such a great char in texture let me just take a bite of this oh pretty much i do that so well here it's definitely asking for some barbecue sauce [Music] oh sure is a good burger the burger patty has bit more of a chew combine that with a melty burnt end i'm so happy with this one last thing to try these are the ribs look at that look at that pretty thing smoked perfectly and look at it just dying to jump off the bone look how clean that is [Music] barbecue like dish like him don't be rough with it gentle little kiss it will come apart the rub is delicious gotta add some of this amazing sauce though [Music] fall off the bone meat smoked oh so perfectly and the sauce is so deliciously tangy oh that's so perfect texas of course known for brisket kansas city is definitely known for their rips that made a bold statement wow i don't know if you ever get that feeling when you eat something that's so good your stomach it just feels happy like i'm not i'm not even saying it's like an emotional thing you feel it in your stomach kind of like when you're on the top of a roller coaster that excitement butterflies your stomach kind of feel when i ate this there's butterflies see originally i wasn't even gonna come here i was gonna go to joe's and then leave early tomorrow morning i'm so glad i did see the food god works in mysterious ways i'm gonna eat up and definitely need to go somewhere grab a drink this hotel looks kind of haunted yo doesn't that look like the beginning of what could be a horror movie oh fresh remote i love it when hotels go through the trouble of uh going to the remote tree and picking a fresh remote wow there's a seat you know just in case you want to stir yourself eating your ribs your plugs oh that's not a good sign vanity kits makeup remover mouthwash toilets please tell me there's a fridge please tell me there's a fridge oh yay little bit of leftover ribs wow doesn't this lighting just matches the whole creepy feel of this hotel like seriously look at this i'm just gonna turn on the lights make this little less creepy and that was open when i came in so i don't know what escaped out of that hey another fresh remote oh i'm just gonna keep the curtains open this will be a fun night to go for a jog burn off some of that barbecue [Music] welcome to this awesome thunderstorm i missed it since living in the midwest this is perfect sleeping weather i'm gonna go back to bed for a little bit more yeah this

sandwiches the z-man the smoking pig i got some ribs only regret they were out of burnt ends today so i am very very sad about that otherwise ah this is gonna be a feast for the aegis this is the brisket diablo whole lemon how good does this look tender juicy slices of brisket glistening the fattest juice is glistening even though today is cloudy and the sun's nowhere to be seen still glistening oh my goodness oh my goodness look at that juicy fatty pieces of smoked brisket 100 000 billion to the 20 000 if power times infinity recommend this this pastrami is so far out of this world elon musk will want to build a spaceship to go there this pastrami has such a great shoe the fatty part just melts in your mouth at the same time the smoky flavor and the spicy sauce they put on here is just pummeling you out of this world delicious i can't believe how good that is this is one of the best sandwiches i had at any barbecue joint i've ever been to in my life oh look at this just look at how pretty this is [Laughter] look at this fat on this brisket and everything is just so thin i'm gonna just put some pickles on here a little added crunch come here baby [Music] it's too good too good this is the roast pig sandwich look at this wow a couple of pickles on top look at this sandwich whoo looks like fried pickles fried pickles bacon cheese all sitting on top of a slab of pulled pork beauty pageant winner right here [Music] those weren't right because even better fried jalapenos bringing on the heat pork so tender and delicious and you got all the textural elements here a little crunch from the fried jalapenos to bacon and also i got the sauces you haven't tried yet and they told me this is the spicy one i feel like it's a little more sweet than spicy try this big one oh so happy with this you know what let me actually bring out some heat let's put some my hallway on this pulled pork [Music] so glad i traveled this now oh already so good even better with the hot oil final sandwich this is the z-man so this thing brisket cheese onion rings [Music] i just hit brisket on the second bite took a big chunk of that beautiful fatty brisket and they do it really thin here in kansas city the brisket is sliced thin you see the fat on there amazingly tender contrasts so beautifully with the onion rings this is an amazing sandwich my favorite is still the pastrami but with the meat they're cooking up you're not gonna get a bad sandwich here really looking forward to this ribs and brisket and i'm especially looking forward to these ribs this is kansas city style ribs and look at the smoke just steeping all the way to the middle of this rib look at that minimum effort to break these ribs apart all that great fat again glistening just just teasing you begging you to take a bite of it oh my god this is one of the few times in my life where i haven't actually even like taken a full bite of these ribs my teeth just sunk in i'm already telling you guys this is going to be an experience holy moly hola what the heck what the heck is up with this what is it doing to me right now come here for the ribs look how easily the meat breaks apart it's just from a plastic fork the smoky flavor of this pretty much makes your head explode and as soon as this thing doesn't even touch your tongue just touches your teeth you know you're in for something special again gentle kiss of the way the dry rub out here is exceptional so much flavor but really the thing that's making this really amazing is how juicy and i've been to a lot of ribs places where the ribs are not that juicy they're tasty and they're tender but they're not just this is juicy and it doesn't look like it could be juicy on the outside but holy it is hiding a geyser of fat in here these might be the best ribs i've ever had they might just be you don't really need to dip in any sauce now when you cook the sausage grave i just actually put catch up on these amazing ribs i would like to officially apologize to joe to rib lovers and these ribs for desecrating it with ketchup i didn't know i got excited i grabbed a random bottle [Music] my excitement for the ribs i totally forgot about the brisket all right these are way leaner than what i found inside my sandwich and they're cut uber thin this is not how brisket is in texas texas brisket is super thick usually pretty thick cut this is very very very thin you can almost see through this actually it's not at all like a texas style brisket which just you know way fattier again way thicker but because these are cut super super thin even the lean briskets taste wonderfully tender oh this is a nice fatty piece right here but it's the smoke that ties it all together so happy with this glad i finally was able to come back and reaffirm how amazing this barbecue is at a gas station no less i got to get up and hit the road i got to be in chicago by 7 pm so kansas city i'll be back i'll be back for more of them ribs [Music] one thing i don't miss about being back in the midwest is driving into thunderstorms this is gonna be a huge see all that over there gotta hit into all that [Music] this is kind of bringing back memories for me because i just passed kirksville missouri where i went to college middle of nowhere so this is where i used to live for the majority of my young life around this area here in misery just passed by quincy illinois that's where my parents last restaurant was so yeah nostalgic territory right now anyway next stop in about four hours chicago [Music] oh whoa sanitation wives mr chin gummy bears sweet oh now i can be all comfortable when i brush my teeth this is a nice hotel this is the drake in oakbrook anyway made it to chicago dropped off all this stuff so plan is going to be i'm leaving my car full of stuff here uh then tomorrow heading back to new york taking some of the ramen restaurant stuff and then i'm gonna come back here and then the real adventure begins all right see you in the morning [Music] [Music] [Music] oh that is good especially when i substitute mike's hot oil as cooking oil taco actually bites back good morning by the way and like i mentioned in the beginning this video is sponsored by hellofresh it's been almost two years now partnering with hellofresh still get really excited when i see that box coming so this time i had to choose from citrus pork tacos white cheddar wonder burger i'm gonna have that for lunch later and cherry balsamic chicken usually for breakfast i picked the fastest recipe because i'm starving in the morning and typically you can get meals on the table in about 30 minutes or even 20 minutes with their quick and easy recipes and i said this before and i'll stand by you never had a single bad meal and that makes sense because hellofresh has more five star recipes than any other meal kit also it's so customizable like i hate going to the grocery store i love it when i get to see my box i know i got lunch i got dinner coming in all pre-portioned so there's less prep time for me there's less food waste i told you guys if i go to a grocery shop i can't control myself i buy like a month worth of food and then right before i leave it's like a stuff in my face marathon and that's never good when you're about to go on a trip also it's back to school time if you spend a lot of time prepping your meals i would first try to have solutions like egg bites for breakfast salad kits or even snacks for your kids like any cheddar bunnies or cinnamon rolls or string cheese i remember first time i ever saw string cheese in like second grade i just came from china i thought people were eating sticks of chicken anyway i highly highly highly endorse this meal kit i love it like i said i've been using it for over two years i would subscribe to them before they even approach me for a partnership so i can test how good this is so if you want to give it a try go to my link down below use my promo called chen 14 you'll get 14 free meals across your first five hello fresh boxes and free shipping i'm gonna go make another taco so thank you so much for watching until we eat again see you later
