This afternoon while driving down Ward Parkway I caught the big hulking shape of a smoker out of the corner of my eye and it refreshed my memory. The Friday special in the summer is a smoked Half Chicken for $3.98, which was more than enough for the two of us for dinner. Nevertheless, we bought two, knowing that it would be just as good for lunch tomorrow. Two half chickens and a jar of Blues Hog barbecue sauce later, we were only out $12 and I was reminding myself to make the drive to McGonigle's more often.

I used one of those chicken halves to do a variation on pasta carbonara that turned out to be a big hit, and a bit healthier than the bacon-fat-loaded version I ussually make.
What a great store and a KC icon. It has been around long enough that I remember my Grandma calling it "the country store".
