Agreed on both counts. I HATE Bryant's "Original" sauce, and their meat is WAY too greasy for me. For many years, Haywards was may family's favorite. It wasn't unusual for people to drive hours to get there. But that was back in the 80s and maybe into the 90s.

I've only been there twice since 2005, both times I thought it wasn't all that good and way overpriced for lunch. Since I work just down the street in Corporate Woods, maybe I'll give it another shot.

I saw that the Smokestack at 89th & Wornall has been renamed to "The Stack," but I don't know if it's the same family (just broken away) or if it's new ownership. They've got a pretty good sandwich there (or they did): The Smokestack. Beef & pork on a hoagie with lettuce & tomato. It really works!

I don’t think the stack is related to eitherside of the Fiorella family. I pass Hayward’s twice a day too but don’t stop in. Should try out the new owners to see if its good again. But Fiorellas is just too good not to make my BBQ destination.
