I am a fan of all of these restaurants. All have been famous chains that I thought were more successful than they apparently were as reports say that you're probably gonna see less of them in Missouri in 2024.
If you've driven by the Steak 'n Shake in Quincy, Illinois recently and saw the signage on the front of their building is down, fear not. I can confirm that they are not closed or closing. There's a natural explanation.
I like pizza. Like you probably do, I eat a lot of pizza. I have eaten a lot of pizza in Missouri, but I've never ever heard of the place which I've learned is the fastest-growing in the state.
If you've watched one episode of Season 2 of the award-winning TV show The Bear you should already know this, opening a restaurant in Illinois is difficult.
The past few years have been challenging for restaurants, but there are several chains that seem to be flourishing. When it comes to Missouri and Illinois, one of the fastest-growing joints is full of chicken and specifically chicken fingers.
I thought I knew everything there was to know about two things: Jesse James and food. I'm apparently wrong about both of those things as there's a claim that the best private dining in Missouri is at a place named after Jesse James assassin. Time to do some Missouri history homework.
