For a case shrouded in such mystery, I have to say I'm disappointed in the lack of coverage of this case. However, of what could be found, the story of 45-year-oldTamara Bell-Walker and her husband, Corey Walker, leaves readers with more questions about what happened to the couple than answers.

There are times when local restaurants and businesses seem to vanish overnight. They close up shop with little warning and even less explanation. It can be a sad day for fans, especially when they roll up to the restaurant, expecting something tasty, only to discover they will never again be able to walk through the front doors (at least under the same ownership). That is exactly what happened late last week as a local restaurant and market here in Tucson closed its doors for the final time, without informing anyone, or even making an announcement on its social media.

Certain restaurant chains make so much sense, and yet, for one reason or another, slowly vanish, and by the time you realize something happened, the chain has disappeared. You might remember Ponderosa, where you could purchase access to an all-you-can-eat buffet and top it off with a $0.99 steak on top of it. Of course, the steak tasted and chewed, very much like a dollar steak would, but for many, it held a special place with them. Other restaurant chains have gone by the wayside around Phoenix, but one has slowly started to crawl back, and its return to Arizona is right around the corner.

There's arguably much to like about eating at a buffet restaurant. You don't have to choose just one item, you get to try many different things, and if you are going to embrace "all you can eat," then a buffet can be economical.

I’ve written many stories about the homeless hotel where I live, Fusion Studios. But I don’t often get the chance to write about good things happening at Fusion. This week the tenants expressed pride and surprise when they awoke Monday to lobby furniture for the first and second floors. There also is some really tasteful artwork for the walls.

We all have a personal palate when it comes to defining the best pie ever. When I moved to Kansas City, I trusted my dad's opinions on the discerning palate of food. He did most of the cooking and he could sure bake. Making the best pie crust wasn't as much a challenge for him as it was being up to the task.

Considering any event, where do you find the best pies outside of your kitchen in Missouri?
