Eating Our Way Across America! - Day 15



Kansas City. A pleasant surprise.
But - COLD! Way below their normal of being in the 40's. We woke up to 0 degrees! It is warmer on Nantucket. (Although they are in the midst of a rain blizzard.)
We spent the morning in the only World War One museum in the United States. Very well done, very moving. We also visited Union Station, the second largest train station in the U.S. (after Union Station in NYC).
Mark asks EVERYONE we meet here where to get the best barbecue. He also has gone on line and read a lot. So, today, for lunch we had barbecue in a cool building behind Union Station, called the Freight House at a restaurant called Fiorello's Jack Stack. I had "burnt ends" and Mark had a combination plate with pork ribs. We agreed it was very good and will recommend it to the high school cooking class in April when they come here to compete.
Later, we drove to the Red Bridge area where we saw Anne's house, which is lovely. We had crepes for dinner, reminiscent of crepes that Anne made at our apartment in Mahdi, Cairo.
