Xmas Day- Any restaurants in KC that are open?

[reenum]

For those of us who aren't Christian or don't celebrate Christmas, Christmas Day can be tough. I want to poll the board and see which restaurants are open in the KC metro and JoCo areas on Xmas Day. I'm not going for only good restaurants; I'd like this to be an exhaustive list of places that us non-Christmas celebrating folks might be able to go to. Thanks Chowhound!

Ho-Ki is ok but not my favorite. Their 'house special pork' (a spicey sweet and sour pork) is pretty good. I wouldn't drive across town for it, but I'd stop in if passing by.

I noticed that Ho-Ki on Nieman in Shawnee was open, and Tsien Dynasty @ 87th & Farley in O.P. One of my co-workers confirmed that Ruchi was open (college and Antioch).

I just got a takeout menu from Ho-Ki, but I don't know anything about it. Any advice?

Reporting back on XMas Day eating options (at around lunchtime):

On Shawnee Mission Parkway, Home Delight Chinese Buffet on Pflumm, and Chen's Super Buffet on Quivira. The IHOP near Lackman was also open and busy.

On 75th, Jade Bowl Chinese, near I-35. The Waffle House on Nieman was open and packed. The Taste of China on 77th & Quivira was also open.

On 87th, Genghis Khan on Monrovia.

Those are the only three streets I checked. We basically drove from Pflumm to Nall on each street.

If anyone has anything else to report, please add to this thread.

So far, we have:

McCormick & Schmick's
Grand Street
Chinese places

I've just heard that Kababesh Grill on 119th & Highway 69 will be open on Xmas day as well.

I'd do what the family in "A Christmas Story" did after the dog ate their turkey--go Chinese..

Well, aside from Chinese restaurants, the only place I've seen mention of being open on Christmas is M&S Grill... other than that, I haven't heard of too many! There are lots of events on Christmas Eve though.

I think Grand Street & McCormick & Schmicks on the Plaza as well as most hotels would be open. They usually discuss it on the Walt Bodine show on Fridays at 10 am on 89.3 KCUR...
