Longevity is a pretty good way to assess whether a restaurant is worth trying. After all, a restaurant, especially one that’s more than 100 years old, can only really survive if it dishes up delicious food that diners come back for again and again. This BBQ hotspot in Missouri has been tantalizing taste buds for generations of Missourians, and it should probably sit atop everyone’s dining bucket list.
