4ariel,
Don't apologize,
We quite enjoy going to war with each other over BBQ here in KC.
But why is it that a gorgeous woman can always start a war between guys?

Ok then, let's get started with an unpaid set of ads:

The clearly outstanding #1:
Q39
https://q39kc.com/
I've been eating his bbq for over a decade. First at an airport area hotel where he was chef.
His two locations:
1000 W 39th St, Kansas City, MO 64111
In Westport, just north of Plaza.
or
11051 Antioch Rd, Overland Park, KS 66210
take the Antioch exit south from 435 and its just north of College Blvd.

#2
Joe's Kansas City BBQ
https://www.joeskc.com/
Three locations
The original at
3002 W. 47th Ave
Kansas City, KS 66103
Just west of plaza (but on the wrong side of the state line)
There's two other locations, Leawood, KS and Olathe, KS

If you like Blues music:
BB's Lawnside BBQ
1205 E 85th St
Kansas City, MO 64131
-----
I'll let others add their favs.
-----
But if you're out and about:

In North Kansas City
Smokin Guns BBQ
1218 Swift Av
North Kansas City, MO 64116

In Excelsior Springs, MO
Wabash BBQ
http://www.wabashbbq.com/
It's in the train station. And they have blues music, etc weekends (season just ended).
Across the street from the Elms Hotel. (hint)
646 S. Kansas City Ave
Excelsior Springs, MO 64024

In Martin City (South Kansas City)
Amusingly, a couple times next week I'll be at:
Jack Stack BBQ
http://www.jackstackbbq.com/
13441 Holmes Rd
KC, MO 64145

instead of their Plaza location at:
4747 Wyandotte St
KC, MO 64112

They have three other sites, Overland Park, Lees Summit & Midtown in the
Freighthouse District (north side of Union Station rail tracks).

In Weston, MO
First, Weston runs it's own BBQ festival each year in early Sept. sponsored by one of the local distilleries.
Tin Kitchen
http://tin-kitchen.com/
509 Main St
Weston, MO 64098

(Across the street from the McCormick Distillery outlet store)
(Also across the street from the Saint George Hotel, another hint)

So I've been asked how can I handle the amount of BBQ that disappears.
It's simple. A good whiskey does clean the arteries.

I agree with UCarpenter. I do love Q39. Just ate at the 39th St location last week. Went with a party of 4 on a Tuesday, and I highly recommendation doing something like Yelp reservations. Helps a bit with the wait.

Haven't done Wabash, but that is way out of the way for me. Maybe a weekend roadtrip for lunch some day.

And, of course, I also love JackStack, although I prefer the one behind Union Station than the Plaza or Metcalf locations.

But.... the best place for BBQ in the KC metro?!? My backyard, of course!

Have a great trip, Ariel! BTW, is that "sensuous oral lover" label for receiving oral? Tick tock!!
