While in Kansas City Friday I had the same discussion when talking about 
local BBQ.

There are a lot of places where they start with the same basic red sauce 
and add more and more of their toxin of choice, the taste doesn't change 
at all, but the length of time it takes your lips to stop burning does. 
This to me goes against most of the precepts of good cooking, and into 
the realm  of hazing.

Jack Stack BBQ in KC is alright for a chain, they make a nice beef 
brisket with a respectable smoke line. Their smoked ham is kinda plain... 
I didn't try the pulled pork or sausages.

The Cheesy corn bake is a creamed corn with cheddar cheese and chunks of 
ham very much like a chowder, it can't really be described, it has to be 
experienced.

The best thing I had there was the bread pudding afterward which was 
moist, warm, and soaking in a yellow custard sauce that tasted vaguely 
like an egg nog.
