Meat, Meat & More Meat

Cory's birthday was on Sunday.  To celebrate, we had the week of MEAT.  It all started with a roast the weekend before his birthday.  Finally we visited the local butcher.  Cory selected a fine piece of beef at the small price of <GASP> 27 pounds.  Yes, you got that right, 27 pounds, which equates to roughly $42 for a roast.  It was good, but for $42 I'm expecting fillet mignon, not roast that I dip in ketchup.  It made Cory happy though so that's all that matters during the birthday week.

The weekend of his birthday we continued the meat theme and ate at several new places.  First stop was the Fine Burger Company for burgers.  Decent burger, nothing too exciting.  They did have large flat screens at the tables to order food from.  Great concept, but not the most user friendly.  The did have a button to remove mayo from our burgers which made both Cory and I very happy.  Mayo is a staple here.  They even dip french fries in Mayo which in my opinion is plain gross.

Next stop was Bodean's BBQ which has been on our list of places to try since we have arrived.  If you read about Bodean's it has close ties to Kansas City.  The owner actually got his inspiration from OK Joes.  Bodean's did not disappoint and was the closest thing we've had to a good KC meal since we arrived.  Brady loved his hot dog.  I had a solid pulled pork sandwich and Cory liked his pulled pork & brisket combo.  Bodean's plays American sports on the TVs and generally has a sense of a good Midwest BBQ. 

Last stop on the meat tour was a visit to the Rotisserie on Cory's actual birthday  The Rotisserie is quickly becoming a local fave.  They have a good rib eye, nice starters and a delicious pancake dessert topped with carmel and ice cream.

Happy 31st birthday Cory and thanks for letting Brady and I participate in the week of gluttony!
