Have You Tried The Not So Smally? KC’s Bar And Grill

Do you ever have the inkling to tackle an absolutely obscene amount of food and get your picture on the coveted Wall of Fame?

So has the team of KC’s Bar and Grill, having created the Not So Smally, a great challenge for one, and an ever better sharing platter for multiple.

Created in early 2023 by the KC’s team, the Not So Smally contains half a rack of sticky BBQ ribs, half a kilo of buffalo wings, one piece of southern fried chicken, onion rings, chips, slaw and pickles, some of the very best that the KC’s kitchen has to offer.

Many of the team have given the challenge a go, including Head Chef Troy Jackson and Venue Manager Jake Simpson, however, only Troy was successful to get his picture on the Wall of Fame.

In the short year that the Not So Smally has been offered, over 30 patrons have given it a go, with only four successful.

“I didn’t even get close to finishing it,” Jake explained.

With just 10 minutes on the clock to get the meal down, the challenge is made sweeter with the inclusion of spicy wings, which had heat and intensity.

Jake’s tips to getting it all down?

“Start with the meat first. I know a lot of people want to save the wings for last, but don’t, the spice just makes it a lot harder. The killer is the chips. The potato just dries out your mouth and makes everything harder. Mixing the chips and slaw is a good option too.”
