They still have a ferry crossing the Mississippi River at Ste. Genevieve. This town is old old

Gordon’s Stop Light Drive In. In Festus/Crystal City As good as ever

The Fort Diner in Fort Madison Iowa Very good, right on the Mississippi River

So Sad, but it was so good !

The “Casperito” at Casper’s in Springfield, looks like a mess but was very good. It’s a burrito with lettuce, cheese,chopped tomatoes sour cream on top all covered in Casper’s great chili. It’s a lot for lunch but at $ 6.99 a real deal

The Angus Branch Steakhouse In Monett Great family owned business good steak, good salad bar and super homemade rolls a lot of bang for my bosses buck

Hartsburg Lions fish fry Can’t think of a better way to spend a Friday Night

Home for the Holidays at Columbia College tonight with my favorite elf. Great Show !

Gordon’s Stoplight Inn, Crystal City MO. I love this place, no booths no tables just stools at the counter

Could be the best bowl game ever ! Lunch yesterday at the Stoplight in Festus, ribs at the famous Rendezvous for supper and drinks on Beale St. with friends. Next a great football game ?

B’s Lunch Box ,Mounds IL. No inside seating but a great Hamburger basket comes with fries and cole slaw, she has picnic tables but it’s raining, so I’m dining in my car, very good !

Pappy’s Place on North Main Street in Springfield MO. Good BBQ and very good chili, not award winning either of them, but if you love the hole in the wall dining experience like I do, this is a good one

Last night in Columbia IL great suggestion from hotel clerk, Aunt Maggie’s. It’s on the old main street, great family restaurant, nice people and the Ckn Dumplins were amazing along with the fried Ckn, mashed potatoes & gravey

Big Baldy’s BBQ In Monett good lunch spot if your in town, beer batter onion rings are great, sandwich is pretty good, they ask hot, med. or mild sauce and they put it on in kitchen, I prefer bottles on the table and let me experiment.

Back to one of my favorite spots today, Ray’s in Excelsior Springs MO a little rough around the edges, but a classic sit at the counter hamburger & Fries kinda place. Bonus, it’s right next door the the Hall of Waters, worth a visit if your in town

A beautiful day for a pretty Pic at Shepard Park ColumbiaMoParksRec

🇺🇸 Happy Flag Day 🇺🇸

Lunch yesterday at Tony’s Market & Italian Deli in Warrensburg Stopped in to get some homegrown tomatoes and saw the menu, had to get the Italian Sub. Sandwich was great. It looks like a nice produce stand and it is, but there’s a lot going on inside. Great Find !

Curly Que Barbecue tonight in downtown Boliver. Brisket, Onion/Cucumber Salad and Hand Cut Fries. All very good. I will be stopping here again
