In the Pantheon of KC BBQ, Zarda's is the storm cellar - you only go there if in dire peril. Their meat has virtually no discernible smoke taste - why else do we eat BBQ??? Zarda has a fairly loyal following, and I mean no offense, but these people simply don't know what BBQ is supposed to taste like. Zarda is the Fritz' Chili of KC BBQ. You may like it, but that ain't what it's supposed to be.
