I haven't eaten at Oden's since my uncle got hepatitis from them around 12 years ago, but I will suggest Da Bronx for a good brisket sandwich also. :) -----Original Message----- From: owner-kclug@marauder.illiana.net [mailto:owner-kclug@marauder.illiana.net] On Behalf Of Jennifer Dozar Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2003 2:47 PM To: Kendric Beachey Cc: kclug@kclug.org Subject: Re: BBQ (was Re: Finally starting preparations for the move...) There's a BBQ place down in Belton called Oden's BBQ :) One of my favourite places for a BBQ brisket sammich! mmmm and their tater skins are yummy.. *drooool* man i haven't gotten to eat there in a long time! I think it is pretty good :) gate's isn't too bad, i like sometimes. Jack Stack is good, but can be alittle prices. never made it to too many around KC. When i usually wanted BBQ, i went to Odens. -- Jennifer Dozar http://seul.org/~jennifer/osschools/ ******************************************* ALL YOUR BASEPAIR ARE BELONG TO US!
