A German-style bologna recipe from the 1870s is still being made by the same family today. Six generations have kept it going. That’s longer than most of us can trace our own family trees. The part I find surprising is how hands-on it all stays. Spice batches get mixed...

10 Blue-Collar Missouri Restaurants That Serve Huge Portions For Cheap

At one Missouri cafe, the hot rolls never arrive politely on a plate. Servers toss them across the dining room, and you’re expected to catch your own. I love that a meal can open with a friendly game of catch. Another spot on this list piles up three pancakes, each roughly the size of your head, while a chili parlor serves tacos without limit.
