Cross Country and Man vs Food!!!

We are done in Philly and now are embarking on a new phase of our lives. We are going to visit my family for about a month while Justin studies for the boards. On our way to Denver we decided to plan a stop over in St Louis and Kansas City. As you can see we went to the St. Louis Arch.

Justin actually go to go up in it but I opted to stay with Easton because he was not being so cooperative with us when we got there.

We then went to this place that Justin found from Man vs Food called Pappy's Smokehouse. We have to say once again that our taste is in line with that of the Man vs Food show.

I had the spicy sausage with sweet potato fries and corn on the cob and Justin had the pork sandwich with corn on the cob and spicy cole slaw.

Also, this corn was the best corn that either of us has ever tasted. Perfect without butter, salt or pepper. (That was a first for Justin)

We also looked up the St Louis temple and ran by to take a photo. It is a beautiful building that is easily visible from the highway like some of the other temples are.

To wrap up the night we drove to Kansas City and went to this place that is actually in a gas station. It is called Oklahoma Joe's. When we arrived the line was out the door and all the way down the building. 2 hour plus wait! And of course that would not work with Easton. So we decided to put in a To-Go order like we did earlier to avoid the huge lines that were at both of these places. But even the To-Go order would take 2 hours to get filled. We almost walked out but decided to put in the order and go people watch at walmart for a while. That was the best decision that Justin ever made, he said.

Best ribs ever, HANDS DOWN! And Justin has been around a pig or two. They were so meaty that he could not finish them. That was also a first. Though he did make a valiant effort.

So meaty and juicy!
