I believe that his niece or some other fairly close kin still has a
place there in Marshall- behind the Wood and Houston Bank branch on
Arrow Street. My daughter "discovered" it while attending Missouri
Valley College, and we felt that the ribs were as good as we
remembered old Ocey cooking. We're going to be in Marshall this
August for a class reunion and I'll report in about whether the place
is still there and is as good as it was in the 90's. It was in a
single family residence then, and it's probably still in the same
place.

Do you recall the name of the place by chance?


Local legend has it that Ocey sold his sauce recipe back in the early
50's to the good folk making Hunt's (now Hunt's original), but I have
no proof of that beyond legend. I don't have the book you mention,
but if there's anything about Bruner's online, I'd sure appreciate
the URL.

I didn't find anything else about it and it would probably take a trip to
the library or hall of records at city hall to get much more. ButI asked my
Dad about it, he's an 87 year old rolling history of KC, and of barbecues,
chocolate malts, and soda fountains in particular, and his work in
broadcasting and as an author includes information, recommendations, and
history of KC restaurants. Unfortunately, he didn't recall it. His memory is
still pretty good, just a little slow sometimes. When I mentioned Boyd's to
him he gave the Prospect address and recalled taking me there for my first
taste of barbecue ever. So you never know, he may think about Bruner's a
little more and come up with something. I'll see him later today and ask
again.

I checked the Star's (KansasCity.com) and NewsLibrary.com's online archives
and didn't hit anything.

However I highly recommend the book, and you would like it in particular
because it delves into history and people of significant areas in barbecue
history, including KC.
