KC’s Iron Chef Scales Back — Somewhat

By CRYSTAL K. WIEBE

In the wake of his fourth restaurant’s debut, changes are afoot at the eatery that started Rob Dalzell’s little downtown empire.

As of this week, 1924 Main will serve lunch only on Fridays. “It has kind of turned into that whole special occasion place,” Dalzell says, noting that Friday has long drawn the busiest lunch rush. “People always thought of it as an end of the week lunch spot,” he says.

The overworked chef, who also operates Souperman, Pizza Bella and the recently opened Chefburger, hasn’t exactly cut back on 1924 Main’s business hours, however. The upscale establishment with the prix fixe menu has been offering Sunday brunch since Easter weekend. And now, 1924 Main will offer discounted dinners on Sunday and Monday nights, when many of its competitors are closed. “It kind of gives all of the service industry folks somewhere to go,” Dalzell says.
