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

Some of the best ones come from small-town taverns where the buildings are older than anyone sitting at the bar.

No priority violations at most Greene Co. kitchens inspected recently

Out of 51 routine inspections, more than 75% of the kitchens the Springfield-Greene County Health Department visited had no priority violations. Across the 39 inspections that had no priority violations, 31 had no violations at all. Issues found during inspections fall into either priority or non-priority violations.

A Historic Visit to the Sweet Shack

Kevin and I took the short drive last week to historic Downing Street in Hollister to a fun little lunch spot called the Sweet Shack. They specialize in smash burgers, home cut fries, handcrafted and homemade ice cream, and even Italian ice. Wow, they are checking a bunch of boxes of happiness for me right there. I almost needed an extended stay. They have a fun family-friendly atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating, both video games and traditional games to play; a very welcoming vibe.
