Aftertaste: Kansas City Gates BBQ Served Up Tough Labor Decision After Contentious Strike

Retaliation against employees and their collective bargaining efforts leaves a bitter taste for this beloved Kansas City BBQ joint. The latest labor ruling offers a bit of protection for workers but is sure to leave a bad taste in the mouths of everyone involved.

  1. There's better BBQ elsewhere and Mr. Gates chooses to spend his time playing politics rather than creating good food. You can have both but you can't have customers left with a bad taste in their mouths afterward.

    Nothing like 18.00 a pound rubbery brisket, served with a side of the shittiest customer service this side of the Mississippi.

  4. I suppose you could get a heaping order of MSG at OK Joe's and then sweat the rest of the day away.

  6. That place has jumped the shark with me. Last time I was there you had to tip the cooks to "Make it lean" if you didn't want a fatty beef brisket sammich. Plus like everyone keeps saying, "There is better here in KC". Good sauce and fries though.

  11. Last beef sandwich I ate there was a literally dripping in grease. Saturated, sloppy, sopping greasy. Garbage. Plus, as others have said, an outright hostile and belligerent wait staff. I am done with Gates.
