Let's get this out of the way from the start. In-N-Out Burger does not have a location in Missouri - yet. However, rumors are screaming loud that the beloved food franchise is heading toward Missouri and there is some truth to what is being said.

For some Midwestern fast food places where kids wear crowns, doors will be closing soon as a major franchisee is going through bankruptcy.

I must admit that celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is an acquired taste - so to speak. He's not only gained fame with his reality TV shows, but also is credited/blamed for the best place in Missouri to eat steak allegedly.

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.

What's romantic to one person may not necessarily be for another. However, a collection of online reviews believes it has determined the most romantic restaurant in Missouri and they all agree that it's "polite" - literally.

I'll say from the start that I don't automatically trust the internet to tell me where the best this or that is. However, there is one site that claims to be "experts" at finding the best steakhouse in Illinois. If they're right, you don't need to go to Chicago which I'll take as good news.

If you like to include Red Lobster as a stop for any trips you make to the big city, you need to know they're just locked the doors on one location in St. Louis and it appears that is permanent.

It's nice to get a shout out and a Perry restaurant got some super recognition from a national site which was naming what they believe are the 7 best steakhouses in Missouri.

If you had to guess, what do you think is the most common fast food restaurant in Missouri? Well, you're wrong. I should say you're probably wrong as the numbers show the most common place in the Show Me State to get food quickly is likely not what you'd guess.
