Q39 Mourns Kansas City BBQ Legend Rob Magee

 

An icon in the world of Kansas City barbeque has passed. 

One of the best restaurants in midtown shared their grief with patrons this afternoon . . .

Here's their message . . .

"After a 5 ½ year journey with colon cancer, it is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Rob Magee, Q39 owner and executive chef.  A friend and mentor to many, he truly appreciated the thousands of people that enjoyed his BBQ from around the world. Rob was a true champion and no one could have packed more life into these last five years.  May we all live by his life-affirming example.  His commitment to BBQ will live on as Q39 continues to share his culinary passion. We appreciate your support as the entire Q39 family navigates this difficult time. #QStrong."
