End of an Era: Bay Area Restaurants Close After Decades in Business.
TL;DR Summary
KC's BBQ, a family-owned Kansas City-style barbecue restaurant in Berkeley, has permanently closed after 55 years due to financial struggles, a dip in customers, and problems retaining staff. The third-generation owner, Kristen Davis, said the closure was "long overdue" but hopes to resurrect the restaurant in a new form, potentially as a pop-up, food truck, or retail store for its sauces and seasonings.
