Arthur Bryants actually closed down voluntarily for a week or so last month for the same thing. It was surprising that someone reported them to the health dept in the first place (I grew up thinking that was just the risk you took for good BBQ), and it was even more surprising that the health dept gave an inspection the very next day. My mother still to this day refuses to go to the original Brooklyn location because she says that she saw a rat waddle past the door on the sidewalk while she was there eating once (emphasis on waddle) and she still won't let that go. That had to have been a couple of decades ago now, at the very least, so I've always looked at the potential health code violations associated with some of these places as just the way things are.
I will say that while I'm not wild about Gates, I can't say that I remember them having health code issues for the most part and they have a location just a hop north from AB's on Brooklyn.
I wouldn't let that deter you, just try to go there early. I'd say that if you're wanting to go to 47th Ave then get there a little before they open at 11am. Might still be a line when they open the door but /shrug.
A buddy and I still argue about the new place on Strang Line, I don't think that it's nearly as good but he seems to think so. Haven't tried the Leawood location because...well...Leawood.
My sister's wedding had OK Joe's catering for the reception and I thought that was pretty much what all wedding receptions should have. I don't think they do the set-up anymore (family had a fight with them since the payment was made before they changed their policy) but I can't say that anyone thought that the food was anything less than exceptional. I thought that I might end up shooting buttons off my suit like bullets after eating more than my fill.
I just ate Dominos for the first time in 20 years and have to say it was the worst pizza I've ever had. I don't remember what the old recipe was like but I shudder to think of it if this new stuff is considered an improvement. It was way too greasy, the crust was soft and tasted like raw dough, and the sauce had no flavor.

You should have, but you want burnt ends, not ribs. Well maybe some ribs too, but don't miss the burnt ends.

Philly Cheesesteak pizza is THE FUCKING BEST chain pizza EVER. I swear it's the only thing I'll order from them but my god it's great.

I'm going to take an extra day this weekend to Andy Reid the fuck out of some BBQ. First on the list is OK Joe's on 47th Ave.I wouldn't let that deter you, just try to go there early. I'd say that if you're wanting to go to 47th Ave then get there a little before they open at 11am. Might still be a line when they open the door but /shrug.

And man, we can totally be bros if you dislike Leawood like I dislike Leawood.

For the record, the new Leawood location of Oklahoma Joe's absolutely sucks. I should have known it was a bad sign when it was dinner time and there was no line or wait. The food was cold, tasted like it had been cooked a week before. I've never had a bad experience with the original 47th St location(other than the annoyingly long wait). So yes, fuck Leawood.
Wendy's pretzel chicken sandwich is pretty tasty I think. The bun isn't anything special, but still tasty for fast food. Wasn't a fan of the burger version.
I've fallen in love with CostCo pizzas. The way they cook them in store just gives them a great base....it's weird but they are def my go-to if I have the urge for pizza early enough to not have to rely on dominos or pizza hut

Dominos is seriously like cardboard and ketchup, it's so disgusting. At least pizza hut tastes like real pizza, although it's really only marginally better. I've always preferred local mom and pop type of pizza places over the chains (although Papa Ginos is good).
