KC FOOD TOUR PLANNED BY LOCALS! DO THEY KNOW WHAT'S UP? 🇺🇸 [Kansas City Food: BBQ & More]
Sep 6, 2023
Wow Kansas City! Let us just start by saying that the people here are reason enough to visit. And it's because of the incredibly kind locals, that we were able to put this video together, so thank you! 💞 We had no expectations with this place. We spent 3 weeks house sitting and we didn't plan much because of all the work we had to catch up with, but thanks to everyone we met, we adventured out there to try some of the most popular local recommendations. And honestly guys, we barely scratched the surface. Kansas City has so much to offer and we hope to be back to make a proper video about everything there is to do in Kansas City, not just the food. We hope you enjoy the video. Don't forget to eat something before you watch ;) Thanks so much for being here and if you have any questions or recommendations, please leave them in the comments. See you in the next video!

Kansas City, the mecca of barbecue
0:03
We're eating one way through the city in America's heartland following only locals recommendations
0:08
Y'all cannot skip two-thirty. You have to try real barbecue. The V-Man is Canada
0:14
The whole tea man, final nut cheese. Let's see if they know what they're talking about
0:22
Oh my god. Mmm. This thing is awesome. This is what they call a mochi donut and it reminds me a lot of a Dutch olive bowl like the inside is
0:34
much more doughy than a regular donut with the outside does taste like a chocolate donut
0:39
Oh, this thing's amazing So of course we had to start our day at Black Hole Bakery and you might think it's weird that we're starting a Kansas City video without barbecue
0:48
Don't worry. We're gonna have that later, but it's just that everyone in our neighborhood
0:53
Everyone said try Black Hole Bakery. So naturally that was her first stop and we're also at a local strike this is called Lucey
0:58
park and it's a really beautiful park. Oh my god. No, I..
1:05
this is brilliant. They're so gooey on the inside
1:21
I don't understand how they do it and you can really taste the cardamom
1:26
This is probably the... Probably the best, I don't think I would call it a donut, but probably the best I've ever had
1:32
That's what? Donut? Yeah. Great start, Gessa City. Two of the combo plates, both of them with ribs, and then one with ribs, and then one with brisket, and one with brisket, and one with
1:57
with the sausage and then an order of mac and cheese yeah thank you guys right now we are at
2:04
q39 this is probably the most recommended place in all of kansas city it's a very famous
2:09
barbecue joint and kansas city does one thing very very well and that is barbecue i can't
2:14
wait to eat this it smells so good this place is very lively i got ribs right in front of me i'm
2:18
like shaking in anticipation i'm very hungry and excited time to dig in
2:28
Oh yeah Mmm When I was here a month to go Yeah
2:35
Oh my goodness No, this is awesome This recommendation was on point
2:40
I was a little bit anxious If we didn't like it We just get completely roasted And kicked out of Kansas City
2:45
But these pork ribs are just so, so tender Just fall off the bone The barbecue sauce is awesome
2:50
I want to live here It's confirmed Q39 totally lives up to the hype
3:05
This place is awesome. It's a better capacity. You may have noticed a few things missing from our order, but don't worry, this is not
3:16
the only time that we're going to have barbecue in this video. Bye thank you. I'm right. Yeah. Hey
3:23
That's the city. Okay. I think this is a great opportunity to tell you guys how amazing the people here are, right
3:32
The nicest people I've ever met in a reasonably big city. Yes, yeah
3:36
Yeah, so cool. It's crazy. We love Kansas City. We love Kansas City and I know Patrick Mahomes
4:02
So that says a lot about their team because they're super famous. And also Gordon's giving me a face behind the camera
4:07
I know the dolphins, pins up, whatever. But I like Patrick Mahomes
4:12
like buttering my home and I assume signs. Oh, I did it. So right now we are in Messenger coffee shop in the Crossroad neighborhood
4:33
And the Crossroad neighborhood is famous for a thing that happens the first Friday of every month in the summer
4:37
And it's packed with concerts and tons of people. Today is Saturday
4:41
There's basically nobody here. I think it's more of like a downtown kind of neighborhood where people don't really hang out during the weekends
4:47
But anyway, this copy shop is very cool, very highly recommended. They have delicious copy, I can confirm that
4:52
And they also have something that I was looking for everywhere. Kansas City is famous for something called a cheese slipper
4:57
I had never heard of a cheese slipper before coming to Kansas City, but I found a cheese slipper
5:02
Let me unveil this baby. I bet it tastes like cheese and bread
5:15
I'm very cheesy. Just to be clear, I'm not hungry at all
5:19
It's like a brioche with cheese on top, a jalapeno, and some other cheese
5:23
Mmm, I think it would be better if I reheated it. So we toasted our cheese slipper
5:32
That smells much better now. It's nice and hot. We'll give this thing a second try
5:37
At the coffee shop, I called it a brioche. That's because I don't know what things are called
5:42
But I think it's more like a chibata. Top with cheese and again some other cheeses in there, jalapeno
5:52
Sorry. I was holding it. So as you probably expected, it is much, much better after you reheat it
6:04
And if you eat through the middle or eat the middle part, there's actually the jalapino, halapeno bits and different types of cheeses
6:10
It's pretty enjoyable. She's slippers, people. Oh, and if you're wondering what we're doing in someone else's home right now
6:17
This is the reason why we are in Kansas City
6:29
This is our little doggy. So we are house-eating. We are trusted house-sitters
6:34
So probably if you're doing around here, you don't know what we do, but we full-time travel, mostly internationally, and then we're sitting here
6:39
internationally and when we come back to the US we stay with their families and we do trusted
6:43
house sitters so we can catch up with work and that's how we got all the amazing local
6:48
recommendations here in Kansas City because our host told us where to go and our
6:51
neighbors told us where to go so that's why we know all the insider tips and Clarence
6:57
is going to tell you something Tom Clarence Gordon and I'mata are the best trusted houseitters you should subscribe to their
7:07
channel do we look alike You're gonna stick your tooth out? Yeah
7:15
I got a popular spot. I think this is gonna take a while
7:22
I hope it's worth it. We noticed you guys were filming when we were done in the evening
7:32
You want to take a truer in the back We love to have you show you some of the warmers and stuff Yeah that be awesome You just come up from here and we get a manager and we show y Cool appreciate it Thank you You made a prize here and the most again to go
7:43
Cool, thank you. We told you guys we would be having barbecue again and here we are in probably the most iconic spot in all of Kansas City
7:57
trying the most iconic barbecue food from Kansas City. Burnt ends, I can't wait
8:01
We've been waiting all day for this. and it looks delicious. So burnt ends are kind of like the leftovers
8:06
from the brisket. So brisket is usually sliced, but the tips are too burnt to slice and too fatty
8:12
And that's kind of what they sell here in Kansas City and it's a specialty. But we douse in barbecue sauce and it's time to pop them in
8:23
They're really good. Of course they are. No, they're really good. I was expecting way more of like a char
8:32
because they're called burnt ends but they're not too burnt at all there's like super juicy fatty
8:37
flavorful the barbee sauce is really good so this place obviously also takes barbecue very seriously
8:44
but we were told to order the burnt ends and the sandwich that you can only find here it's called
8:49
the zeman i don't know how i'm going to go in because you can see the layers of brisket onion
8:55
rings cheese barbecue sauce in a fresh pond looks amazing and this is a small version too i can't imagine
9:02
how big the jumbo one is I'm just gonna go in what I love too there is people getting gas right there
9:21
a little bit extra barbecue taste baby Uh-huh
10:03
Three up here, three downstairs. Hold on you guys downstairs. Take you down here to show you
10:07
It smells so good. Oh, yeah. It smells amazing. I think we're in some sacred place in Kansas City right now
10:14
The back room at Joe's. Where the magic happens. That was so cool
10:23
I was expecting to see meat. But we just saw the smokers and that was really cool
10:29
I think because we're almost the last ones here. The line is done. from meats in a smoker. Yeah
10:34
But that was cool. Another proof that people here are extremely nice and awesome
10:40
Because this has only happened to us a handful of times in our travels. I think this is the third time
10:45
That was cool. Turkey. Mexico? That's true. Kansas City. Kansas City, baby
10:52
Kansas City, baby. Let's go home to Clarence. We'll see you tomorrow
11:02
The best thing here
11:12
The greatest thing about the whole experience. Do we need a little bit more time
11:19
Yeah, I think we do. I also have a question for you. So we not really from this area We read that cinnamon rolls and chili are a thing is that true here in Kansas City I don know about chili I know the cinnamon rolls
11:33
definitely a thing okay but chili is not you never heard of that we read that
11:38
we thought it was very weird barbecue we had barbecue is our we were like cinnamon
11:42
rolls is actually it sounds kind of strange I've never so it's not really okay
11:46
that's good thing okay Kansas City is known for its barbecue yeah we from Florida
11:51
I've been there once. I went to Destin. And then I came back and then I was like, how can I move there
12:01
We have been sitting for five minutes and we already have warm cinnamon rolls on the table
12:07
I love this diner so much and I love that in this video we've had cinnamon rolls twice already
12:12
The cinnamon rolls are one of my favorite things. And again, everyone is extremely, extremely nice
12:20
These are complimentary. Yeah, free cinnamon rolls. Oh my god. Nice and warm
12:34
Oh, they're so perfect and soft. Breakfast are still champions. Oh, I love this
12:43
So I was definitely not expecting her to say that. I thought that sin minerals and chili were totally a thing
12:49
Actually, right now we're in very cloud. I read and we heard that they serve delicious cinnamon rolls and they have
12:53
chili so I thought the combination would be available here and I read online that's a super big thing in Kansas and maybe Kansas City but it turns out that
13:01
that is not true she has never heard of it but I do have to say we've been in touch with a friend of our newsletter Elena who said that cinnamon rolls and chili
13:08
are one of her favorite things but she thinks it's more a small town thing in Kansas no chili and cinnamon rolls but we have chicken and waffles and biscuits
13:16
and gravy the country special a Midwestern delight yeah this way is
13:20
It was never recommended to have that specific thing. It's more about the place, right
13:25
And it's awesome. The decoration is great, it's packed. It's packed on like a Tuesday morning
13:29
We did not expect that, but this is great. Yeah, it's gonna be great. Definitely recommend this is a great American experience, right
13:37
One appetite. After breakfast. I'm so full. That's exactly what I was thinking
13:46
But we got cinema rolls. Oh yeah, Rachel is an angel. tomorrow her name is Jessica what Jessica was an angel she is an angel yes all those
13:56
neighborhood joints always yep fill you to the brim they never disappoint it
14:00
was very good well we'll see you guys later for something very weird that this guy
14:06
is happening barbecue ice cream first time for everything well I had one more
14:14
chance to get Kansas City barbecue so I had to go for it but this time it's in an
14:18
an actual ice cream. So they do a collaboration here. This is called Betty Ray's ice cream
14:22
They collaborate with Joe's barbecue that we went to and had the burnt ends. And this actually
14:26
has pieces of burnt ends in it. I'm kind of nervous. Barbecue ice cream
14:41
It's actually very tasty. It's very like complex. The sweetness of the barbecue sauce like
14:47
works with the sweetness of whatever ice cream flavor this is. But the chunks of burnt ends are like kind of stringy and the texture is a little bit odd
14:55
But it's good. It's like smoky, sweet barbecuey. Kansas City was such a nice surprise
15:01
We feel so happy and grateful that we ended up here. So thank you everyone who sent recommendations
15:06
And thank you Kansas City for the memories. We can't wait to be back. And if you guys want to check other US videos, I'm going to put our Dallas video here
15:12
You guys can check that one next. Thanks for watching. Bye
