These 7 Missouri Small-Town Taverns Have Been Frying Pork Tenderloins Since Before You Were Born

In Missouri, a pork tenderloin sandwich is not just lunch. It is a breaded, fried, plate-sized tradition that hangs off the bun and dares you to finish it. Some of the best ones come from small-town taverns where the buildings are older than anyone sitting at the bar. From an 1820s stagecoach-era tavern in Arrow Rock to an 1870s German hall in Hermann and a hunting-lodge roadhouse in Clinton, these spots keep the classic alive.

5 Best Restaurants in Columbia, Missouri You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Columbia, Missouri — a city where red-brick streets hum with the footsteps of students and professors, where the scent of coffee and barbecue drifts through the air, where murals bloom on alley walls and the laughter of families echoes from porch to porch. Here, the city’s heart beats in the rhythm of Tigers games, late-night study sessions, and the easy camaraderie of neighbors at the farmers’ market. The architecture is a patchwork: stately columns, sun-warmed bungalows, and the ever-present sprawl of campus life.

Johnson County café closes ‘with a heavy heart' after a year in business

After a year and a few months in business, a Johnson County international café has closed. Taiwanese-based chain 85°C Bakery Cafe , which has locations across the world, closed its Overland Park location on Halloween. The former bakery and coffee shop had signs on its door Monday morning that alerted fans to its exit. “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of our bakery …” the notice read in part. “We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all our customers for your loyalty, trust, and support over the years.” The lights were off and product had been moved out of the store. In June 2025, the location opened at 12061 Metcalf Ave., serving individually packaged pastries: jumbo guava cheese strudels, milk butter puff pastries, cocoa-dipped Danishes, pineapple cake and more. The opening day was received with long lines and excitement from fans who had been to 85°C’s locations in Hawaii, Texas and beyond. Around that same time, international chain Paris Baguette opened its first area location at 11137 W. 95th St. near Oak Park Mall. That chain, based in South Korea, now also has locations at 15895 Metcalf Ave. in Overland Park and 1360
