Hugged by the Katy Trail and the Missouri River on the outskirts of Columbia, Missouri, The Station House at Katfish Katy’s is a welcome oasis for travelers and denizens alike. The restaurant underwent a complete remodel in 2016, and this year, mother-and-son team Vanessa and Jake

Leitza took ownership. The duo has already released a new menu with health-conscious options, including quinoa tacos and a grilled chicken salad, alongside staples such as the Katfish Platter, Katy’s Grilled Cheese and The Station House Burger featuring a regionally raised, grass-fed beef patty.

Enjoy your meal with a Clear State hard seltzer; made in Missouri with all natural ingredients, flavors include tart cherry, passionfruit and Key lime. 8825 W. Sarr St., Columbia, Missouri, katfishkatys.com

Dating back to 1927, Hotel Bothwell sits pretty on the square in downtown Sedalia, Missouri, a stone’s throw from the Katy Trail. Here, Classical Revival style meets modern amenities, but many guests visit for the food and drinks. At Ivory Grille, executive chef Chris Paszkiewicz presents a generous dinner menu where seasonal dishes join consistent favorites. Start with the fried artichokes or bacon-wrapped dates and then dig into the Kansas City strip steak au poivre, lamb chops, jumbo crab cakes or chicken piccata. On weekends, the prime rib dinner is a proper indulgence. Thanks to the recent addition of the handsome Oak Room Lounge, there’s also an extensive wine list with price points for every budget. We recommend trying a glass or two of Missouri wine from Les Bourgeois Vineyards in Rocheport or Wildlife Ridge Winery in Smithton.

All Aboard Burgers and Ice Cream Written by Jessica Vaughn Martin

In Joplin, Missouri, All Aboard Burgers and Ice Cream brings two hallmarks of summer together. Sink your teeth into an oldfashioned hamburger from Whisler’s, which opened in Carthage, Missouri, in 1953, and then grab a waffle cone piled high with colorful scoops of ice cream made with a recipe that dates back to The Great Depression. Celebrate the season with a half gallon of the Fuzzy Peach made with fresh peaches from Pate’s Orchard and Produce in Stockton, Missouri, or the palate-cleansing lemon.
