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.

Where Was ‘Ozark’ Filmed? The Georgia Lakes and Towns That Played Missouri

The Byrdes spent four seasons washing cartel money on a Missouri lake that, almost every time you saw it, was sitting in Georgia. Georgia is the answer to where was Ozark filmed, specifically two reservoirs north of Atlanta, Lake Allatoona and Lake Lanier, plus a string of metro Atlanta diners, parks and one very old drive-in. Netflix’s own Tudum travel guide concedes that Ozark was not shot in the Ozarks and that most of the real filming happened in Georgia, and KOMU in Columbia, Missouri, reported that only a few establishing shots came from the actual Lake of the Ozarks.

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.

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.

Missouri hunters harvest record 36 black bears in season

Missouri hunters harvested a record 36 black bears during the state's sixth black bear hunting season, which ran Oct. 17-30. The Missouri Department of Conservation reported the harvest results, according to a community announcement. The 36 bears were taken from a maximum allowable harvest of 60. More than 5,200 hunters applied in May for 2,000 permits. Of the 2,000 hunters selected through a random drawing, nearly 1,490 purchased permits for the season. Black bear hunting in Missouri is limited to state residents and three designated areas of southern Missouri known as Bear Management Zones. Each permit applies to a specific zone, and hunting is allowed on public or private property within that zone. Bear harvest varies by management zone Hunters harvested 29 bears in Bear Management Zone 1, one short of the zone's maximum allowable harvest of 30. Seven bears were harvested in Bear Management Zone 2, which had a maximum of 22. No bears were harvested in Bear Management Zone 3, where the maximum was eight. Of the 36 bears harvested, 34 were taken with firearms and two with archery equipment. The harvest included 23 males and 13 females. “We had another successful black bear hunting season this year,”
