Golden City, MOBEST PIE. When you talk about this marvelous dessert, you must pronounce it "pahye". Everything I've had at Cooky's is good. Really freakin' awesome. It's an hour drive north from Joplin and yes, it is totally worth it.Strawberry Pie: fresh strawberries, just outstanding. Not overly crusty, leaving the focus on the fruit.Butterscotch Pie: If you don't like butterscotch, well, you

I'm a TV News Reporter. I frequently spend my lunches in small town in between interviews... meaning I eat at a lot of hole-in-the-wall places. And In my personal experience, they're usually the best food for your money.Expect to read about a lot of places in towns you may have never heard of... And remember, I don't celebrate mediocrity, so when I say something is awesome, I mean it.Happy eating!

Ahh, the elusive Egg McMuffin. Salty and tasty. I'll never understand why they don't serve it all day... is it to make me want them more? BECAUSE IT'S WORKING.The ham, the cheese (which, yes, I lick off the wrapper) the egg. The muffin. No complaints here. Except at 10:30.You've gotta get the combo. The hashbrown sets off the McMuffin-ness. Crispy, salty, hot and soft in the middle. I like the

Apparently, I have a bit of a sweet tooth at the moment.One of the things I miss most about Columbia, MO (aside from college of course) is the prevalence of ice cream and frozen custard shops. Andy's and Sparky's being my faves.Andy's frozen custard will make you any combination of stuff on their menu or you can choose from their list of concoctions. I've never gone wrong with either option.Call

It's been awhile! I apologize to anyone who reads my blog regularly--I've been eating home-cooked meals. So really, no, I'm not sorry.My grandfather, may he rest in peace, loved Braum's. I'm not sure if he really liked the food, or he went there because there always seems to be babies there. But then again he really liked anything his wife didn't cook (she was the worst cook I have ever known.

Hello, All. I'm a fatty (not really, I just feel like one).I really, REALLY need that new pair of running shoes after my latest trip to Lubbock, TX. So many delicious food options, so little time and stomach space.I got the "little" cheeseburger. With bacon. Still the size of a regular cheeseburger. And you can get all the toppings you want. Tasty, tasty.Fries. Quite delicious, y'all. Just like

My mom declared her meal here "the best [she'd] ever eaten."This is a big deal, people. She has "eaten a lot of things."For once, I'll start with dessert. My mom and brother got the coconut bread pudding, but were disappointedly "too full to eat it." They both made an effort and looked so sad when their stomachs declared themselves closed for business. They also brought some freebie desserts that

Fort Worth, TexasWhen a new restaurant opens in your town, and has a sign that constantly reads, "Immediate Seating Available," one might think, That place must suck if it always has available seating.Not so in the case of Charleston's. My family avoided it as long as possible because of the sign, but one day, we decided to give it a shot since it was still open after about a year.And it was

Fort Worth, TexasDon't worry, folks. I have not been skimping on meals. Just been busy what with graduating and moving back to Texas. GOOD LIFE.For those who love foreign cuisine, fish and chips are high on most London travelers' list of local fare. But you needn't go to London for the best fish and chips... they can be found Fort Worth, Texas.There isn't anything about Zeke's that isn't great.

Hopefully you aren't one of those people who thinks Fritos Bean Dip could only be good with Fritos corn chips, because then you'd be wrong. So wrong.Fritos Bean Dip is, in fact, actually better with Nacho Cheese Doritos! Try it!!!! You'll have eaten the whole bag with a can of Bean Dip or two in no time.Also, regular bean dip is really mild, so for a little extra kick try the Hot flavor. It's

Yeah, you're right, they're messy... probably not something you'd eat in the car. But they'll take you back to the first time you ever ate one every time you eat one.No matter the brand, it's all about freshness. The soft, cakey ring melts in your mouth... and when really fresh, sticks to the roof of your mouth, too.The chocolate variety is also a great find, though I wouldn't expect them to

Gas station hot dogs are pretty hit or miss. I prefer the ones from QT, partially because I've seen them clean the roller things that cook the weenies.They have a warming tray underneath so your bun isn't ever stale. There's also a plenties of condiments of all varieties. Any type of mustard you could want, seriously.There is also a pump dispenser for nacho cheese and chili! SO GOOD!All of the

Dallas, TXEvery single time I'm in Dallas, I make a stop at Snuffer's. You just have to. No, it isn't healthy. But it's the best.The salads look great (I've never had one; just not a salad kind of girl...). My dad gets them sometimes. There is nothing salad-y about them. Plenty of bacon. And dressing.

It's open in the morning and late at night, for your post-drinking dining experience.The diner is famous for The Stretch. Just go and order it. Don't wimp out, get it like it comes.

Lubbock, TXOkay, you caught me. The reason I wanted to go to this restaurant when I went to visit a friend at Tech was the name.Little did I know how in love I would be with their food. I love fried stuff. It just tastes better. The fried cheese really is famous... and with good reason. It's hand battered and just good. They've really raised the bar for fried cheese products in my book. I cannot

Weatherford, TXYou might not know this if you're just meeting me, but I like beef. A lot. So what could be better for me than beef to go?I've tried the beef jerky they have everywhere, you know, the mass produced kind. It'll do in a pinch. But nothing, and I mean nothing, compares to Dan's.The original is just classic. It's done right... and by that I mean it still tastes like beef. For the

Rocheport, MOCommonly referred to as "The Winery," Les Bourgeois has been the site of many a miserable drunken downfall. And yes, I mean fall.The food there is great. The bistro has a great menu, but if you're looking more to picnic than to wine and dine, then I'd suggest the A-frame. Every sandwich is great and they also have a picnic for two: bread, cheese, and meat. They have other stuff, too.

How Dunkaroos appeared, invaded young lunchboxes in grade school, then rapidly disappeared is beyond what my mind can wrap itself around.What's not to like? Miniature cookies in a variety of flavors and an accompanying side of frosting to dip them in.I'm sure this was one of those products that parents blamed for making their kids fat instead of, oh I dunno, the fact that their kids played video

Yes, it's a self-titled debut post. As a snack cracker, Chicken in a Biskit is an all-too-often overlooked creation. Unlike Chick-O-Sticks (I'm not a fan of misnomers), they actually DO resemble the flavor of chicken. The chicken flavor is none too overwhelming for even the most delicate of palettes. Like Cheez-Its, I could probably finish off a box in one sitting. Chicken in a Biskits pair
