  By OWEN MORRIS Even if you don't subscribe to The New Yorker, as a person interested in food this may be a good week to pick up a copy from a magazine stand. (Do street magazine stands exist anymore?) It's the annual food issue, and it's got some interesting stuff.

• Kauffman Stadium renovates its food

  Let's finally get make this official: Gate's Barbecue is gone from Kauffman Stadium. It's a move widely met with contempt, but don't be so quick to judge. In its place is KC All-Star Barbecue. A much larger, completely new area that might be more appropriately named Fiorella's Jack Stack Kauffman.No, KC All-Star Barbecue is not run by the Fiorella family or associated with the barbecue chain, but its executive chef Michael Slavin spent two years there. As did his sous-chef Steve Muncy. As did th

• When the President dines business goes crazy

  Did you hear that the President of the United States went to New York over the weekend for a night on the town? Because he was the president and all, it was covered to death and pretty much every story also mentioned Blue Hill, where the first couple dined. A visit by a president pretty much assures a restaurant of increased sales and popularity. The Daily Beast cites a Georgetown eatery named Citronelle which was on hard times until the Obamas ate there a month ago. Now it's booked solid for th

• Two KC barbecue joints in the top 10

  Just last week I was complaining that LA's Barbecue Festival wasn't a real competition, even though it was the perfect opportunity to test different regions' styles against each other. Little did I realize that Paul Kirk, the "ambassador of barbecue," had done just that in his new book America's Best BBQ.Kirk -- who hails from Kansas City -- is a pit-master (he's won in the open competition at American Royal) and is a certified master barbecue judge. For his new book, which comes out tomorrow, h

• An interview with Serious Eats blogger and former Kansas City native Adam Kuban

  Adam Kuban is the Henry Luce of food blogging. To talk about his love of pizza and hamburgers (especially sliders) he founded two Web sites -- Slice and A Hamburger Today -- that took on lives of their own before being incorporated into the Web site Serious Eats, where Kuban is now the managing editor. While he lives and eats in New York, Kuban grew up in the Kansas City area and attended the University of Kansas. Fat City talked to him via a series of e-mails.You've written in a couple of diffe

• Gates Bar-B-Q named a landmark restaurant

  Gates has a little more to strut about after being named one of the 23 landmark restaurants in the country. No, it's not an official landmark as designated by the government. The title was bestowed by AOL, which called it "lip-smacking good" and commended the sauce as "what elevates it to the top of the heap," especially when its on the ribs. Gates is in good company. Other restaurants to make the list included Ted Drewes of St. Louis, Katz's Deli of New York, Pink's Hot Dogs of LA and Ben's Chi

• Kansas City's Top Ten baked beans

  Until today, we just assumed that everyone loved baked beans. But as Charles Ferruzza, Owen Morris and new Fat City blogger Jonathan Bender discovered -- thanks to erudite Pitch music editor Jason Harper -- that no less an authority as Pythagorus opposed the consumption of beans (he wouldn't touch meat either, based on the principles of reincarnation). The poet Callimachus wrote: "Keep your hands from beans, a painful food: As Pythagorus enjoined, I too urge." Callimachus, however, di
