For my friends in the Kansas City metro, I thought I'd share a review I posted at Yelp regarding a new barbecue restaurant. Yeah, I know. KC is loaded with great barbecue joints, but this place is different. I think they have taken a creative approach. For instance, see what I say below about their cornbread, beans, and sausage.

My first visit to The Rub was with a group of family and friends. This afforded me the opportunity to sample tastes of a number of the menu items. All of them were really good.
My personal order was one of the bowls. It was built in layers. They started with a generous piece of cornbread. I should mention that the cornbread is the best I've ever tasted, and that's before you even take into account the incomparable crisp and crunchy sugar crust. The next layer was the barbecue beans. I was wowed by these, too. They are a blend of pea beans (like the ones in pork and beans), kidney beans, and great northern beans that is seasoned to perfection. I split my meat selection in two, getting half an order of sausage and half an order of ham. Both were good, but I was really impressed with the former, as they started with Italian sausage, which as I learned is a natural as a barbecued meat.
I'm glad this place opened up. My trips there will be numerous. My problem is going to be checking out the whole menu. Once I find something I like, it is hard to venture to other stuff. I believe I'll keep getting my bowl and use the ham slot to try a different meat each visit. Burnt ends sounds like a good possibility. Since I live in Fairway, it is not just a hop, skip, and jump to get to The Rub, but the journey is well worth it. What am I saying? The trip is worth it for the cornbread alone. I can't wait for my next visit.
