There was this one mom and pop burger joint that had the simplest, most basic, super greasiest burgers but to this day they were the best burgers I’ve ever tasted. The place was tucked away in an alley and it was one of those “you have to be a local to even know this exists” places.
Also, having moved from a smaller town to a bigger city, I miss how close everything and everyone was. You wanted to go see someone, or go do something, it was always just a walk away instead of having to deal with all the hullabaloo of traffic and bus lines and yada yada.

Kansas City style BBQ
Cheez-Its
I live in Norway now and despite musing these things, wouldn’t trade them for my life now.
I’ll go eat taquitos at the QT and have diarrhea in your honor
What was your go to kansas city bbq place? Kansas city is our closest city.
Also maybe we could mail you a box of cheeze- its. They are so light.
Also so jealous of Norway. How did you get out of the middle of the US and go someplace so much better?
It used to be Smokin’ Guns in NKC. I think they closed up ago a few years back though. Best pulled pork in the ‘verse. Gates > Jackstack imo though.
I appreciate the cheezit offer, that’s very sweet. But probably something that seems better in my head than is in reality after all this time.
My husband works in tech and his skill set managed to match exactly what a bank here was looking for. It was a pipe dream turned reality of sorts. It was a big change but I’m grateful every day to live here. Language isn’t easy to learn as a middle aged person but after 5 years we know enough to get by.
Okay, will put a pin on that place.
When I was younger I loved the s’mores cereal and would often complain about how they stopped making it. They started making it again and I was so excited and it just wasn’t good. Products change, tastes change. It really is better off as a memory, likely.
And really that is so lucky! how cool.
