Travelogue – Kansas City, Missouri

Let me tell you the other night I ate the best barbecue food I have possibly ever tasted. The renowned Jack Stacks catered an event I was at on the final night of the conference held in the 95 ft high Grand Hall at Union Station, and it was truly finger lickin’ good.

Kansas City strikes me as a collection of neighbourhoods joined together to form a city, not unlike many in America. There was no obvious heartbeat to the city, although the Power and Light district is the beginnings of much revamping of the downtown area.

So called because of the close by Art Deco building of the same name, we ventured to a few of the bars there last night, although there appeared to be more bars than people. Although saying that when the circus turned out at the huge Spirit Center across the street the area was descended upon by thousands of excitable kids all with balloons.

Finger lickin’ good

Breakfast in Bermuda, New York for lunch, Chicago for dinner, Kansas City tomorrow for lunch. That is the itinerary and then stay a few days in the home of the barbeque, before Dallas and Miami next Friday night.

A week of work travel mostly at a conference in Kansas City, which is arguably the hardest place to get to in the world from Bermuda. Six airports, hopefully a bucket load of barbecue ribs and I have even got an invite to the speedway.
