In years past, a favorite place to dine while the Comic-Con International was in progress was a "dive" called the Kansas City Barbecue Company. You didn't go there for the decor. You went for the great ribs and chicken, and maybe for the friendly atmosphere and servers.
The use of the past tense in the above paragraph is because, as reported here, the place had a fire that closed them down, just in time for this year's con. But I am pleased to post the above photograph which promises that they will soon be back in biz. And even as I was taking it, a construction crew was working on the building to make that happen.
