Diners

The demise of one Missouri fast food location is great news for you if you love classic diners as one is about to open in what used to be a big chain burger place.

The best hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Illinois was born in Chicago's Little Italy in 1960.

It's not easy to stay in business for 75 years, but that's what Missouri's best hole-in-the-wall diner has done.

Guy Fieri just revealed his 7 favorite diner foods he's eaten in Kansas City ever.

There are two things you don't want to get between and that's Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and pigs. Guy Fieri learned this the hard way when he accompanied Coach Reid on a mission to eat Missouri pigs.

You would think that having food celebrity Guy Fieri's praise would be enough to make your restaurant a huge success. For one Missouri joint, that didn't turn out to be the case as they did make what Guy said was one of his favorite burgers ever, but it appears that are now gone forever.

It seems that everyone is a critic especially on the internet and I don't want to be one of those. However, even though Guy Fieri has taken his Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives show to 27 Missouri places, there are many classic places he's missed in our state.

You would think that having TV food celebrity Guy Fieri visit your diner would be a pot full of gold. He's visited many eateries in Illinois, but there are a half dozen who had to close their doors after he stopped by.

When I think of Missouri food specialties, I think of BBQ and ravioli. However, neither have been included as a top 10 food favorite for Guy Fieri and his Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives TV show. It's tacos from Missouri that have dinged the bell and been named 2 of Guy's favorites from around the country.

I only have one complaint about the times that Guy Fieri has brought his famous Food Network TV show to Missouri and that's the fact that he's focused on the cool restaurants only in the big cities and not the smaller towns. Still, he's had a lot of Missouri eateries on his show and this might be the complete list.
