Internet, what shall I do with you? I'm no genius either, but here's a pro tip from a guy who was born and raised in Missouri. If you're gonna pick the best 'local' food chain in Missouri, make sure it's just in Missouri, OK?
Artificial intelligence is fast becoming a part of all of our daily lives. I decided to allow it to help me find Missouri's best restaurant. The robot chose 3 places that I've never heard of.
Restaurants come and go all the time, but there are a handful of national food joints that seem to be slowly disappearing from Illinois that may never return. The list includes some popular food places that have been around for decades.
I am a fan of all of these restaurants. All have been famous chains that I thought were more successful than they apparently were as reports say that you're probably gonna see less of them in Missouri in 2024.
If you've driven by the Steak 'n Shake in Quincy, Illinois recently and saw the signage on the front of their building is down, fear not. I can confirm that they are not closed or closing. There's a natural explanation.
If you've watched one episode of Season 2 of the award-winning TV show The Bear you should already know this, opening a restaurant in Illinois is difficult.
I like pizza. Like you probably do, I eat a lot of pizza. I have eaten a lot of pizza in Missouri, but I've never ever heard of the place which I've learned is the fastest-growing in the state.
