With the approach of beautiful spring weather we will kick off our “Travel & Taste” opportunities for everyone to enjoy. Not only will we enjoy the great Kansas and Missouri scenery as we travel, we expect to find many nooks and hideaways that are favorites, plus local cuisines that this area of the U.S. has to offer. Our first discovery is in a remote area known only to locals called Grandma’s Place, in the very small town of Osiris, Missouri. (Probably not even on a map anymore; there is no population found in the census). Osiris is north of Jericho Springs on Highway 97.You’d never guess this is an eating place, as it used to be a farm house and still looks the same.
Everything is homemade from scratch Some of the best homecooking can be and wonderful! Here you will find found inside this house - Grandma’s in Osiris, Missouri. foods I used to see only at church socials.You could drive 1,000 miles and never get a better meal. The corn bread and beans are awesome. I loved the blueberry cobbler. The homemade mashed potatoes and noodles are sure to pack on the pounds. The ham will melt in your mouth. It’s open only a couple of times a week, and the owner and her family do everything from cooking to cleanup. The thing that makes it so great is the country atmosphere and friendly people, most whom are farm hands or retired. Even though it’s filled with regulars, there are no strangers in the room. Everyone speaks to you, and they visit back and forth from table to table. Places like this are few and far between, and you definitely feel like you are at your own grandma’s house. The name is fitting! Travel & Taste continued on page 2
