Hereford House goes boom!

Today at 11 a.m., when the crew at the original Hereford House at 20th and Main should have been opening the doors for lunch, the 51-year-old steakhouse was closed for business. The building was, in steakhouse parlance, well-done.

The block of 20th Street in front of the restaurant was closed by police barrier and two KCPD cars, lights flashing. Yellow tape cordoned off the perimeter of the building. Across the street, KSHB-TV reporter Marissa Cleaver and a cameraman were taping an interview with the general manager of the The Blend Coffee House, updating the station's earlier lead-in news story.

An explosion rocked the neighborhood at about 12:45 a.m., according to most news reports. Although the exterior of the building looks damaged, it's still standing -- but maybe not for long: The structure is reported to be "a total loss."

A national response team with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has been called to investigate the cause of the explosion.

Really, so both of you were fired because of your clear incompetence. Thank you for posting your unimpeachable opinion. Next time keep your lack of intelligence to yourself.

Anything could be going on with that.....Everyone, including management knew about the employee at Pierpont's that forged social security docs for all the illegals that work there. Hope you get found out, you sleazebag!!!

Knowing that shit head owner Rod Anderson, the fucking moron probably hired someone to blow it up for the insurance money. The entire anderson restaurant group banks on the success of the leawood location.
