Going next weekend to Kansas City for a weekend getaway spending two night in town. I would like to get your suggestions for the best steak house, BBQ joint and wine stores to visit.
Thank you!

The "touristy" place to go to is still pretty good....KC Masterpiece. Or, try Haywards, or the Smoke Stack for great BBQ.
Ok KC Masterpiece is way touristy, Haywards was good 10 years ago and has went way down hill, Smokestack and Jacks Stack are good but a little Foo Foo... the best KC barbeque is Arthur Bryants on Brooklyn Ave for Beef Sandwich(huge) and Fries and Gates and Son for ribs. These are not restaurants but BBQ joints. Steak wise Jess and Jims in Martin City, no atmosphere and no wine list just great steak and potatoe place. JJ's on the country club plaza best service and wine list. The majestic Steak house down town has Jazz and a good steak. Starkers Reserve has an excellent wine list and is not really a steak house but has a good menu.
Try the Golden Ox for a great steak.
I'll second Starker's Reserve (my favorite 
), and add Plaza III, an old school steak house on the Plaza. For wine shopping try Lukas on 117th St., it's huge.
