Top Gun BBQ Joint Burns

Kansas City BBQ — gone
Kansas City BBQ in San Diego, burned to the ground yesterday. It was most famous for the “sleazy bar scene” in Top Gun. It is also where “Maverick” is drinking when the Juke Box starts to play the Righteous Brothers “You’ve Lost that Lovin Feelin” as “Charlie” returns to “Top Gun”.
While the restaurant will be rebuilt, the memorabilia is gone. The only thing that survived is the piano that “Goose” played “Great balls of fire” on in that scene.
Also of note; the “Top Gun” house in Oceanside is set to be removed sometime this year to make way for another eye sore by the beach here in Oceanside. I have some pics, and will have a write up when it happens.
