This from the Independence Examiner a few days ago. It won't help Chiefs fans this year, but should be back before the MLB All Star Break next year.

Independence, Mo.

It’s taken a longer than first expected, but the new Gates Bar-B-Q on U.S. 40 in Independence should be under construction soon. A fire gutted the 36-year-old restaurant in February.

The company had hoped to reopen, as principal George Gates put it, in time for the Chiefs appearance in the Super Bowl, but insurance and drawing up plans for a restaurant that meets today’s city codes took some time. The company recently got city approval, and Gates says a groundbreaking could be held yet this month.

So when do we get ribs and sweet-potato pies?

“Before the Fourth of July, for sure,” Gates said.

“It’ll be bigger and better and more efficient and comfortable,” he said.

He stressed that the city has been good to work with.

“They are a great city,” he said.

If you were going to burn down a Gate's that would be the one.
