What transforms a good sandwich into a great one? Top it off with onion rings.
That’s the lesson I learned at last night’s dinner club. This month’s restaurant pick went to Uncle Richard, who chose Oklahoma Joe’s. Though most KC folks argue Gates vs. Arthur Bryants’, I’ve heard a fair many say O.J.’s is the best.
I ordered the Z Man: a brisket sandwich topped with provolone and onion rings. It was fantastic. The side of red beans and rice was delicious, and they didn’t skimp on the tasty dill pickle slices which were mandatory if you tried the hot BBQ sauce. The fries were tasty (but huge; one bag served five of us), and the ribs were some of the best I’ve ever had.
What would have topped it off best would be a beer: I abstained, but Josh sure enjoyed his. And how smart is this: each table has a roll of paper towels (shouldn't all BBQ joints, really?). All in all a great pick for BBQ. Needless to say this wasn’t one of the healthier dinner club outings, but we sure had fun.
