Best Eat In the House | Slap’s BBQ’s The Mike Johnson
November 15, 2017 | | 1 min read
Best Eat in the House features dining recommendations from people in and around Kansas City. For this episode, we asked Local Pig and Pigwich co-owner Alex Pope for the one dish he loves, and he couldn’t wait to talk about The Mike Johnson at Slap’s BBQ. The burnt end beauty gets a collection of sweet and spicy sauces inside of a pretzel bun.
We visited Slap’s BBQ (553 Central Ave.) to learn how the sandwich is made and to talk with co-owner Mike Pearce about how he puts together sliced burnt ends and jalapeño cheddar sausage to make The Mike Johnson. Got an idea for what we should feature next? Drop us a line.
