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.

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.

FCS: Best of 2025

“The thing all writers do best,” Alan Dean Foster once wrote, “is find ways to avoid writing.” At the last minute, the Fountain City Superlatives for 2025 are finally here. As I look back on the year that was, and ahead to the year that will be, it is important to remember that this yearly feature is about recognizing places that are NEW TO ME. The places listed are not necessarily brand new or the very best in KC for their given category. Instead, they were just the best thing I tried in 2025 that I had not tried prior.

25 years? Were frosted tips and butterfly clips really THAT LONG ago? The Kansas City Royals’ past 25 years are a tale of two extremes, perennial cellar dwellers or top of the mountain. Regardless, throughout the good, bad, and ugly, there’s plenty of guys who deserve some love as I name my Royals’ Quarter Century Team.

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.

When Opening Day rolls around, I can’t help but think of all that once was great in Kansas City baseball.  I love my Royals, but mostly, I think about the Monarchs, and what it would have been like to see those legends play at old Muehlebach Field.  Since I will likely never see a perfect game, I decided to write one.

FCS: Best of 2024

No matter how aware I am of it, this exact article sneaking up on me is becoming a bit of an annual tradition. I am always thankful for this time to reflect on the year that was. So as I recount the “Best of 2024”, and the “Biggest Loss” of the year, it is important to remember that the places named within were not necessarily the very best in KC of a given category or that they were brand new, they were just the best of things that were brand new to me. That distinction is always important.
