Eats: Try taking tea at da Capo
If you happen to be in or around Platte City, Mo., around lunch time, you’ll want to stop at da Capo Teas & Eatery. It’s housed in a 130-plus-year-old storefront on Main Street across from the Platte County courthouse. Locals will remember it formerly as Fanny’s, which was a tradition there for many years. The owners have given it a trendier look, but it still has the old-world charm with lots of dark wood, rich fabrics and a ’50s era soda fountain.
Eats: Bouganvilla Restaurant is a good gamble
Even if you don't gamble, you might want to check out the Bouganvilla Restaurant at Terrible's St. Jo Frontier Casino. For one, the spacious dining area overlooks the Missouri River with little else but nature in view, where you can sit at tables surrounded by a full wall mural of the early frontier and an abundance of flowers and plants in a virtual courtyard setting.
Eats: Get your piece of the pie at Jerry's Again
In Atchison, Kan., Jerry's Again is the place to go for pie. The pies were made famous by the original Jerry's restaurant co-owner, Virginia Kuckelman, who made and still does make all kinds of pies daily, from blackberry to coconut cream. They are sold whole or by the slice and usually sell out by the afternoon. In fact, if you want a whole pie, you had better call ahead.
Eats: A buffet with German flavor
I travel a lot in my sales job, and one thing I usually do not eat at is buffets. But there is one little place here in St. Joseph that has the best homemade food on its buffet and that's the Cabbage Roll.
Eats: Stop in at the Snow Ball
When you're shopping in Atchison, Kan., perhaps searching for ideas at Nell Hills (Mary Carol Garrity's legendary decorating store) consider taking a break at Snow Ball for ice cream, sandwiches and their espresso bar.
