For barbecue lovers who have a hard time choosing between brisket, burnt ends or ribs, Q39 has a new answer: Don’t.
The Kansas City favorite has introduced its new Champion Meat Package, a permanent menu addition that gathers nearly every signature meat from the restaurant’s championship barbecue lineup onto one shareable platter. Designed to feed six, the package includes certified Angus beef brisket and burnt ends, pulled pork, smoked turkey, smoked chicken, house-made chipotle sausage and a half rack of ribs, along with a choice of two sides that can be preordered for pickup.
We named Q39 the Best Upscale BBQ Restaurant in 2025 for offering competition-level ’cue in a polished dining experience. The platter is a way to bring this melt-in-your mouth meat home to enjoy on game day.
Founded by the late championship pitmaster and Culinary Institute of America graduate Rob Magee, Q39 built its reputation on precision smoking techniques and a chef-driven approach that continues today under executive chef Patrick Peluso.
In other words, the Champion Meat Package isn’t introducing anything new to the smoker—it’s simply putting Q39’s greatest hits on one platter.
