Devan’s Dozen: Icon Edition
In an age where we quickly label everything “iconic”, few things actually are. True icons carry nostalgia that spans generations. While Kansas City’s barbeque gets much of the spotlight, there are many original foods that have helped shape the city. These are the KC dishes that have endured to become the city’s most iconic eats.
Hurry Up and Wait
Behind the scenes of the Kansas City episode of ESPN’s Last Train to North America, pitmaster Ronnie Oswald (Kansas City Smoked) bridges the gap between low and slow barbeque and fast-moving production. This is the story of local craft BBQ meeting the camera, that almost didn’t happen.
One Smoking Moment
Kansas City is the BBQ Capital of the World - but who is KC’s best barbeque?
This time of year, the only way to decide anything is via bracket. This 68-pit, March Madness-style bracket featured top KC BBQ joints, storied blue bloods, surprise upsets, and Cinderella runs. The inaugural KCQ Crown truly had it all.
Claim the Crown
Since Henry Perry passed in 1940, Kansas City barbeque has lacked a consensus king. Plenty of contenders, but no clear crown. Kansas City is the best barbeque city in the world, but who has the best barbeque in KC?
disKCovery presents The KCQ Crown: a 68-pit, March Madness–style bracket built to settle the BBQ debate once and for all. The field is set. Now it’s up to you to crown a winner.
Devan’s Dozen: BPT Edition
There are many places that can lay claim to the breaded pork tenderloin (BPT for short). Of course there’s Indiana where it was invented, Iowa and Illinois where it grew up, or even up the river in St. Joseph, Missouri where they gave the sandwich its own revolutionary twist. While Kansas City doesn’t have the history of those places, we still have some great BPTs. These are the best pork tenderloins in the metro.
Best in Dough!
A donut can be whatever it needs to be. The only limit is the imagination. Coming in many shapes and sizes, the possibilities for toppings and fillings feel endless. In Kansas City, donuts cast a wide net. A diversity of offerings from a wide spectrum of purveyors. In honor of National Donut Day, I celebrated the best of each variety.
Devan’s (Double) Dozen: Burger Edition, Part II
You’ve waited for it. You’ve anticipated it. Now, it’s here: my list of the Top 12 burger spots in Kansas City. As much as soul food likes to claim the comfort food title, for me, nothing beats a cheeseburger, fries, and a shake. So if you’re hunting for the best burgers in Kansas City (based on taste, quality, and value), you’re in the right place. This is the definitive list of KC’s best local burgers; at least, according to me.
Devan’s (Double) Dozen: Burger Edition, Part I
From the paper-thin smashburger to the diminutive slider to the carefully constructed pub burger, I love cheeseburgers in all their glorious forms. As my list of Kansas City burgers conquered only grows longer, it felt like time to double down and return to the roots of “Devan’s Dozen” with a roundup of the best burgers in Kansas City from well-known hotspots, to must-try gourmet burgers, to the hidden gems you’ve never heard of.
Fantasy Baseball - Part 2
As my perfect game continues, I can only imagine one team fit to face Jackie Robinson and the Kansas City Monarchs. On this day of all days, a team comprised of the men who built the bridge across the chasm of baseball prejudice, and those who crossed it, feels like the only option.
