When two buds from Napa's fine dining scene decide to open a barbecue restaurant that celebrates the Napa community with excellent food, great service, and a fun and relaxed atmosphere, you know it's gonna be a success! Chef Darryl Bell and Napa native Jeremy Threat have paired up to bring Kansas City Barbecue to Napa. Their goal was to create a place that felt welcoming to locals and visitors alike. Their commitment to the community, sustainability, and responsible sourcing are evident in the fun fact that their dining tables are from the lanes of the old Bel Air bowling alley!

Darryl's journey as a chef began as an eight year old in his Kansas City backyard where he spent his summers at the barbecue. After attending culinary school and 15 years in fine dining he joined forces with Jeremy to create Stateline Roadhouse and become the first Black restauranteur in Napa since the 1800's!
