“tantalizing hickory barbecue sauce”

With the tantalizing hickory barbecue smell drawing the customer through the ranch-style doors, he is immediately greeted. From that moment of entry until the lick of a barbecue rib, the customer is attended by genuinely concerned employees. Sound unusual? It's standard procedure at all six Gates and Sons Bar-B-Q units in Kansas City. The friendly, helpful attitude is born at the Gates College of Bar-B-Que Knowledge, better known as Rib Tech. Managers and cooks as well as block persons (sandwich makers and rib cutters), counter personnel, and dinning room attendants attend the training classes while they learn with on-the-job training at one of the Gates location. To order our barbecue sauce or barbecue spices, call us at 1-800-662 RIBS (7427) and a Gates representative will be with you to take your order for Gates BBQ sauces and seasonings!
