Morning fryer fire shut down Columbia restaurant for part of a day

A national chain restaurant in Columbia was prevented from opening until the afternoon of Nov. 2 after a kitchen emergency. Chili's Bar and Grill , 41 Conley Road, reported a fire involving the fryer at about 9:30 a.m. Nov. 2, so the inspector suspended the operating license while cleanup occurred. Routine restaurant inspections happen two to three times per year based on priority and location of Columbia restaurants, Columbia/Boone County Public Health and Human Services previously has said. Follow-up inspections are scheduled if a critical violation is found. Restaurants typically may correct noncritical violations by the next routine inspection. Reports are from Oct. 27 through Monday, Nov. 2, unless otherwise noted. Reports may also include local bars and other locations where food may be served. The restaurant's Ansul fire suppression system was activated during the incident. The restaurant had to recharge the fire suppression system, including a sign-off from the fire department; and clean and sanitize all impacted areas and equipment before reopening. The go-ahead to reopen, including operating permit reinstatement happened at about 2:15 p.m. Routine inspections Little Caesar's Pizza , 100 Brickton Road Suite 108, needs to clean gaskets and the door frame of a food preparation cooler,

Here are seven shops across the state, from old neighborhood favorites to newer spots, that keep this classic going.

10 Missouri Fried Chicken Dinners Folks Would Argue Over Before Any Fancy Steak

One Missouri restaurant has been tossing hot dinner rolls across the dining room since 1942. Servers fling them, and you catch them. I love that a fried chicken trip can come with a side of outfield practice. That same spirit runs through this whole list. One spot sells mashed potatoes...

'Tiny but mighty' books that make a big impact

Each month, the Columbia Public Library offers selections from its collection related to a current best-seller or hot topic. Library Associate Stephanie Thompson compiled this month’s selections. While bigger and faster are often equated to better, let’s slow down and take a moment to consider something tiny that is, nevertheless, mighty. There is a proverb that says, “If you think you’re too small to make a difference, you have never spent the night with a mosquito.” Mosquitoes have the power to keep a person indoors for the bulk of the summer, just to avoid being covered in itchy bites. Worse yet is the fate of the millions of people who contract malaria from mosquito bites every year. Malaria parasites are invisible to the naked eye but can be deadly. Tiny but mighty, to be sure. Microbes like malaria parasites are defined as organisms that are too small to be seen without using a microscope. Not all microbes are bad, though. Consider the book, “I Contain Multitudes,” (Ecco, 2016) by Ed Yong. The author explains how humans, as with many other species, are not in some ways single organisms but actually homes for entire microbiomes of microorganisms. Many of our microbes

This Hidden Iowa Cash-Or-Check Grocery Market Lets Shoppers Fill Their Carts For Surprisingly Little

A grocery store that refuses credit cards and only opens four days a week?. That sounds like a dare. It also sounds like the kind of place where bargain hunters quietly stock their pantries for months. This Amish-run shop in Iowa sells surplus, closeout, and close-dated groceries at seriously reduced...

Documentary connects Indigenous tribes from Iowa, Hawaii and Mexico through dance

In 1883, the U.S. Department of the Interior created a Code of Indian Offenses — it made Native dancing and ceremonies illegal and gave Indian Agents authority to punish anyone who violated the code. This was part of a systematic effort to erase individual tribal cultures and to force all indigenous people to assimilate. The documentary Why We Dance takes viewers into the heart of Indigenous communities around North America in Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota, Hawaii and Mexico. It's a film about heritage, connection, joy and cultural resilience.

SCRAA Board Joins Pella, Oskaloosa in Ending Regional Airport Efforts

The South Central Regional Airport Agency Board joined both the Pella and Oskaloosa City Councils this week in ending pursuit of a regional airport in Mahaska County. The SCRAA voted on Wednesday after Oskaloosa did so on Monday and Pella on Tuesday to work toward the end of the project first approved in 2012 and supported both the Iowa Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Administration. The Mahaska County Board of Supervisors voted to withdraw from the agreement following an Iowa Supreme Court decision in their favor, which effectively placed the proposal on hold in 2024. The SCRAA has until 2039 to pay back $4.8 million in FAA grants used to purchase 378 acres of land, which it intends to do over the next two years along with the Oskaloosa and Pella City Councils. The funds generated by those sales may be used at both the Pella and Oskaloosa airport facilities, depending on the scope and the intended use.
