Diners

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.

Guy Fieri seems like Missouri a lot. Or, at least he loves Missouri food as he's filmed numerous episodes of his famous TV show at dozens of popular food joints around the state and I have the complete list.

Say what you want about Missouri, but it has its fair share of really great diners. That means when one gets called out by the internet as "the best", that means something in the Show Me State. The newest choice of online experts isn't near St. Louis or Kansas City either.

I have nothing against Missouri's big cities. Have been to St. Louis and Kansas City a million times in my life and that's only a slight exaggeration. But, if you crave the best 'classic' diner in the state, you don't need to deal with the massive traffic jams in Missouri's metros based on a brand new ranking.

It's the diner everyone who watched TV in the 1970's knew even if they didn't know exactly where it was. Yes, the diner where Rosie showed everyone why Bounty was "the quicker picker upper" that originally was born in New Jersey is now incoming to the middle of Missouri.

It has been called one of the most iconic diners in Missouri with one of the most famous burgers in the state. Now, it really could be yours as this historic St. Louis eatery is now available.

When one internet blogger calls something 'iconic', that's nice, but it's one person's opinion. In this case, it's one of the most famous publications ever that has named a Missouri diner as the most iconic in the state because of what they call their 'super slinger'.

You would think that having your diner featured on food celebrity Guy Fieri's TV show would be your ticket to the big time. Sadly, that's not always the case. Did you know there are at least 8 Missouri diners that Guy has featured that are now closed forever?

One of the most underrated things in life is comfort food. I think I can prove that with science. If that's a philosophy you also embrace, I found a place voted the best comfort food you'll find in Missouri.

Most abandoned locations tend to see decay rather quickly once they're emptied out. That's not the case for a forgotten 50's-themed diner in Illinois that's still in decent shape after more than a decade of being forgotten.
