The day started early for the 18 UM students (MBA and MAcct) and 2 faculty members. We met at 6 AM at the Missoula airport and boarded a plane shortly after for Denver and then Omaha. After a quick bite at the Omaha airport, the crew piled into three vans and motored the 180 miles to Kansas City through ag belt country. Indeed, if you've ever wondered where your Cheetos or (Sara Lee) hot dog buns come from, well, this is the place...heartland of America, folks. Aside for its Chiefs, KC is known for a mean BBQ, so I was told. So, for dinner, we headed for a famous grub joint called Arthur Bryant's: beef sandwiches, ribs, pulled pork...all with ample hot and sweet sauces. The ambiance is bare bones, straight forward, and gruff, but the food...ambrosial. Time to rest as the next two days are bound to provide for interesting and rewarding experiences. Tomorrow, it's up and early, since we have an 8:30 AM appointment with the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. Stay tuned on what we learn there!
Many a ribs been put through that pit. Better than advertised.

When we arrived to the restaurant I thought we had the wrong address. But the food was really tasty. I don't think I have ever eaten or even seen that much meet in my life!
ReplyDeleteYum!!! What a fun place to hang out with friends and decompress from the flights and van ride. A big shout out to Mike Manhardt for being the van driver extraordinaire!
