Ok, so I don't write about or "review" food very often. However, in a case like this, I need to. We've all heard at some point or another that Kansas City is the place for BBQ. Today I was in Bonner Springs, a small town just outside of K.C. There really isn't any reason to ever go there, unless, you want a phenomenal BBQ experience. You will be met by some exceptionally nice & friendly owners, Papa Bob and his wife. The place is only 5 years old, and for the most part, off the beaten path. But Papa Bob has made a name for himself out here. This is BBQ country, and when it comes to BBQ, no one is counting calories; especially, Adam Richman, star of The Food Network's, "Man vs. Food." Adam was at Papa Bob's not too long ago, attempting to defeat "The Ultimate Destroyer Challenge!" What is it you ask? I'll let Papa Bob tell you...

"SPREAD OUT ON THE FIRST LAYER OF THE 12” HOAGIE BUN IS A HALF POUND OF MOUTHWATERING PULLED PORK. ATOP THAT, A HALF POUND OF HICKORY SMOKED SLICED PORK. ABOVE A GENEROUS SQUIRT OF PAPA BOB’S REGULAR SAUCE, WE ADD TWO SLICES OF BREAD. NEXT COMES A HALF POUND LAYER OF SLICED, HICKORY SMOKED HAM WITH A HALF POUND LAYER OF HICKORY SMOKED TURKEY BREAST ABOVE THAT. FOLLOWING THE SAUCE AND TWO MORE PIECES OF BREAD, ADD THREE, COUNT ‘EM, THREE, HALF POUND HICKORY SMOKED HAMBURGERS WITH ANOTHER GENEROUS SQUIRT OF SAUCE. ADD THE BREAD AND HERE COMES THE BEEF. A HALF POUND OF TENDER HICKORY SMOKED BRISKET SPREAD OUT WITH A HALF POUND OF LEAN, HICKORY SMOKED BBQ SAUSAGE AS THE LAST LAYER FOLLOWED WITH YET ANOTHER SQUIRT OF SAUCE. ALL THIS WILL TRY TO BE CAMOUFLAGED WITH THE TOP OF THE HOAGIE BUN.

FOR YOUR CULINARY ENJOYMENT, WE’RE ADDING ONE AND ONE HALF POUNDS OF FRIES AND FOUR DILL PICKLE SPEARS OR FOUR JALAPENO PEPPERS TO COMPLETE THE “ULTIMATE DESTROYER CHALLENGE”

Drooling yet? Think you could handle all of that? Well, if you think you can muster to put down all 4 1/2 lbs of this meal'o'heartattack, then you should give it a shot. Because if you can clean your plate in under 45 minutes; that $55 sandwich you just ordered will be free! Plus, you'll get your picture up on the wall next to the two others that have completed the challenge successfully. If you don't finish it in under 45 minutes, you still get your picture on the wall, you just get to have your picture next to Adam's on Papa Bob's "Wall of Shame."

Next time you're traveling through Kansas City, do yourself a huge favor and stop by here. It is a delightful experience! And if you don't want the Ultimate Destroyer, than try the burnt ends... They're absolutely amazing!

"We paid a hundred and forty seven dollars for one night as we were in town for a wedding nearby. I wouldn't have minded the tiny outdated room as much if there hadn't been several homeless people wandering the parking lot yelling at all hours of the night. We were also charged an additional $2.96 after checkout and no one answers the phone to tell me why. We left the room cleaner than we found it, so that's upsetting. We didn't even shower there. Could not recommend staying, unfortunately. "

Top Bonner Springs Hotel Reviews

InterContinental Kansas City at The Plaza by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We love the location of this hotel and the staff are very friendly and helpful. "

Margaritaville Hotel Kansas City

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was wonderful, staff were very accommodating especially the valet and the hotel just makes you feel like you're on an island in Kansas. The little details such as the sink knobs being tails, the parrots on the bedding and all the soaps and wipes smell AMAZING! Compared to other resorts the food and drinks were not overly outrageous and having a little convenience store on site was great! Would definitely return again. "

Hilton Kansas City Country Club Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Pool seating comfy. End of hallway 1br suite was excellent. Would stay again. The parking garage does fill up if you arrive late on Friday/saturday. Even if it’s full you still have to pay the very expensive daily parking rate. Elevators in the parking levels can be unreliable at times. The front desk was very helpful the times it happened. Glad there are hotel phones around the property. "
