Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce to you the Jones Cart…read more I am lucky enough, nay PRIVILEGED, to work in the Armourdale Neighborhood of KCK, which affords me quick and easy access to the KCMO Bottoms. In my ever-lovin' need to find new and exciting experiences with my mouth, I scour the area for interesting places to succumb to the need to be satiated....by delicious food. Last week, I went searching for Hot Dogs. I had remembered in a blink of the eye how I thought I'd noticed a food cart of some sort at the weird gas station at 14th and Wyoming, but since I've always avoided said gas station, and usually am just getting on the freeway there (or heading the opposite direction down Gennessee towards R Bar or Gennessee Royale), I wasn't positive I seen what I saw. So, last Monday, I drove down there, and sure enough, there was a food cart in the corner of the parking lot of said gas station, parked next to a truck, and ready to serve me some delicious, amazing foodal delights. The Jones Cart has no sign. They have a hand-printed menu of what they'd cooked up for that day. They are owned and operated by two amazing sisters who will call you sweet terms of endearment and smile at you with the smiles of women who know how to feed your soul...and know that you know they're gonna do it right, yes sir. So, I drive up, walk up to the cart where I am greeted with the promise of good eatin' just by the smell. But the delivery is as sweet and downhome as the food itself; I am advised that I will taste the best beans ever, that the rib tips are especially great today, that they're out of hot dogs, but when they have them, they're dipped in a sauce that will explain why they sell out so quickly. That they have chicken some days, and that one sister will take your money while the other gets you the plate. I walked away smiling just by having such a wonderful experience just GETTING the food, let alone tasting it yet. I knew right then that I'd be back, and I told them so right then. But then I went to take a bite.... I'd gotten back to my office and had already made my co-workers jealous just by the SMELL they were getting. But the first bite in my mouth...th chewmories...the amazing melting of BBQ'd meat and sauce (on the sweet side) was so incredible that I let everyone know, loud, and often, how they all HAD to go back there with me, and soon. The beans! Holy crap, AMAZING! Not all sticky and gross like a lot of places, but lightly sweet and syrupy with chunks of celery just to give it the slightest crunch. I devoured both the Rib Tips and Beans like I was insatiable...and until that last slop of bread through the sauce, I was....but then, wow, just sitting back and appreciating what could very well rival any plate of BBQ in the city... Today, I went back, and got the aforementioned Hot Dogs. 2, with chips, for $6. Worth the wait. They whipped up a couple of what my buddy Tony was calling a KC Dog, and I chowed down on them like a man obsessed. So. Good. So good. I told the sisters of the Jones Cart that I was gonna go tell all my friends today. This is how I'm doing it. Go down there and get some while they got it, because when they run out, they go home....and hopefully very much appreciated for their fine, fine contributions to the hungry folks of the KC Bottoms and beyond.

Y'all this pizza is straight fire!…read more I've been wanting to try Devoured for a while but it's always hard to track down pop ups like this. I happened to be waiting in line on opening day at Cafe Ca Phe and found Devoured nearby with not too long of a wait. What a win! The pizza was hot, fresh, and delicious. Unique flavors and cooked to perfection. Don't pass this one up if you see it!

We had the risotto balls as an app, and the sauce they came with I could've drank the whole thing. We tried two different pizzas and they were both great! One was the Newbie and one the Cheesy Bae. Both were fantastic! We can't wait to come back! Their dining room is has a fun retro vibe with a few different seating areas, but if you're a group larger then 4 you may be better off taking it to go.

This truck specializes in one thing and they do that one thing very, very well. Sno-Balls!!…read more I've only been able to track them down twice and I'm debating whether or not to share the location because I kind of want the Sno-Balls all to myself... The first time I had the Peach Cobbler Sno-Ball and it was literally the best shaved ice I had ever had! (and I'm a huge shaved ice connoisseur). The 2nd time I had the Orange Dreamsicle Sno-Ball and it was equally as delicious. When I order at the window, I always ramble and mush and shower them with compliments because the owner is just so sweet. He always has me try my Sno-Ball in front of him to ensure that I love it. Please, please, please get a Twitter or Facebook profile so I can visit you more often and not just the occasional times you've shown up at First Fridays.

Heck! Yeah! So I'm…read morewalking home from the bars yesterday, and notice that the typical food trucks on Main street are not there, and there's something random in it's place... A New Orleans Style Sno-Ball truck! On a hot day like this, that's PERFECT! So, they do one thing. But they do it WELL. The shaved ice is so soft and easy to eat with a spoon. The flavors are delicious, and they put enough in so that the entire cup (which is huge btw) tastes great. We went with two of the specialty flavors: Grandma's Custard and Peach Cobbler. Both were killer, but Peach Cobbler is the winner in my book. It was sprinkled with cinnamon, which I think is a great touch. Another great touch? The low price! I can't recall how much it was, but certainly affordable. The guy was nice, which is always a bonus. He said that he is usually set up at First Fridays and then in the Bottoms for First Weekends. So far no web presence, Twitter, or Facebook, so hunting the guy down seems to be a challenge. But if you see this truck, I implore you to go treat yourself to a Sno-Ball!
