It's common to shut down for a day and have the place professionally cleaned. Anywhere I worked in high school did it on Mondays though. I'm guessing since it's KC they're closing for religious reasons.

The fries actually weren't bad at all, crispier than they look.
That's a good question. If people can be open on a Saturday, would could try to plan for a Saturday when both Regime and Faiona are in town, and hit one of the places that are normally closed on Sundays (like OK Joes for example and a few others).
I've always felt that you get better food/portions at "original" locations. So like, I guess that would be Martin City for Jack Stack? Think they had massive portions there. The OK Joes on Strang I felt a little underwhelmed by the serving size I got, though I should prob give them another shot there.
My single #1 biggest gripe about portion size difference has to be Arthur Bryants though. Anyone who has ever seen them pile it on the plates at the Brooklyn location knows what I'm talking about - but when I tried the one out by the Nascar track I actually felt like I'd been straight ripped off. It struck me quite literally as a franchise someone bought for the Arthur Bryant's name with fast food BBQ serving sizes. Never again.

Joeboo, this was the place I mentioned on Sunday that was over by Arrowhead (kind of, across the street from Two Rivers) that one of these days I need to bite the bullet and try:

Interesting, I've probably driven by there a hundred times in my life and never noticed it there, lol.

Huh? Nothing is closed on Monday in south Florida.
EDIT: After this I checked out some of my favorite restaurants and half of them are indeed closed on Mondays! I guess I just never go anywhere on Mondays!

I also only know this to be on mondays or tuesdays because most people go out dining on sundays. I don't know any restaurant that has sunday as their closed day.

Its religion. And even when individuals aren't doing it for religious reasons themselves but as some sort of accepted custom/practice, that probably goes back to religion in the end. I wouldn't be the least surprised if there are people who close up on Sunday and they only do it because that's all they've ever known.
Kansas has also been backwards in regards to alcohol and liquor laws for much the same reason.

That's why the largest, and best part of Kansas City is in Missouri. JoCo sucks. My apologies and condolences to BigError if you live on the 'other' side.

Well, I do live on the Kansas side...but I don't live in JoCo.
I think cities can vote to have liquor sales on Sundays now but to be perfectly honest I haven't tried to see what is or what isn't open here locally. If I need to go grab booze I normally do it on Fridays or Saturdays.

We are open most Saturdays, as long we get some advance notice. We do live two hours away, and need time to get a sitter. We were thinking about coming up this weekend, but might pass since we've got a lot of traveling to do next week for Thanksgiving.

Only 2 hours away? For some reason I thought that you lived much further from KC.
I'd say go ahead and pass, then pick a day that is good for you and the wife and post it here. We can just jump on whatever date and see who is up for BBQ while you're in town. If we try to find a date where "everyone" can go we'll never find one, so I'd just pick what is good for you and whoever is free can go.
I think that we had LC's and BB's Lawnside come up in conversation last time, but I think most of us would be open for anywhere.

Most of the good BBQ joints here are so busy, that regular plates are not an option. So most of them go with the cafeteria style plating to save time and to keep prices down. But really. Who cares what it is served on ? It's damn tasty.
