BBQ (was Re: Finally starting preparations for the move...)

[Jennifer Dozar]

There's a BBQ place down in Belton called Oden's BBQ :)  One of my
favourite places for a BBQ brisket sammich! mmmm and their tater skins are
yummy.. *drooool*  man i haven't gotten to eat there in a long time! I
think it is pretty good :) gate's isn't too bad, i like sometimes. Jack
Stack is good, but can be alittle prices. never made it to too many around
KC.  When i usually wanted BBQ, i went to Odens.
