Author Ann Hazelwood takes readers on a culinary adventure through the Show Me State, highlighting special places that serve up distinctive dishes. "Throwed rolls" in Sikeston, "crumbly burgers" in Troy, barbequed ribs in Kansas City, toasted ravioli in St. Louis, and more are served up in this mouthwatering, not to mention handy, guide to one-of-a-kind food destinations. Balanced geographically, the book takes us to all four corners of the state as it visits gems that mix comfortable with quirky (see "Missouri Goes Hawaiian," p. 54). Profiles of 100 eateries include descriptions, directions, and contact information. In addition, the appendix features maps that break up the state in quadrants and identify destinations within each one. Doubling as appetite stimulant and trusty guide, the book is ideal for foodies and day-trippers alike!
