    Ok, so there's no reason to drive 100 miles east from Kansas City just to buy meat when we have…read moreMcGonigle's, Local Pig, etc. But if you're headed back from Columbia, grab a cooler and take a little detour up Highway 5 to Jennings in New Franklin. Here you'll find a long case full of lean, meaty slabs of goodness at prices that are well below the Kansas City butchers mentioned above. They'll cut just about anything to order, and the meatiest, tenderest slab of baby backs I've ever had came from here, at a Kansas City supermarket price. They also smoke their own sausages, hams, turkeys, and bacon. I'm not a huge bacon fan, but I can just keep eating theirs. I served one of their hams at a Christmas party, and people couldn't stop talking about it (or eating it-it was gone in minutes, it seemed). Their beef jerky snacks are hickory-smoked crack. Rounding out the inventory are barbeque sauces, rubs, and all manner of condiments, many made locally. I've never asked, but given their heavily agricultural surroundings, I would bet most of the meat is locally raised. Every now and then I get all sanctimonious and decide maybe I should stop eating meat. Then I find some of their stuff in my freezer, and, well, it's just not gonna happen.

    Ah, we love Jennings Premium Meats in New Franklin. We purchase their "meat packs" a couple times…read moreper yer to fill up the deep freezer. We have purchased the Beef Pack, Variety Pack, and Pork Pack and all of their meat is stupendous! It butchered locally and everything is wrapped in butcher paper to preserve freshness. They will also customize your order. For instance, we request 1 lb packs of ground beef, 1.5 lb portions of roast, and we ask them to split our brisket in half. They also have an amazing selection in store! So, when you go to pick up your order, you can grab another 15 items like I do. They even have cheese curds (I am probably the only one excited by that, but still). They also have some locally famous chicken wings. I haven't had the privilege to try them because they only sell them on Saturdays. If you are looking for good quality meat, locally sourced, this is the place for you!

    Had really high hopes for this place after a long day on the road. The menu looked inventive and…read moreamazing. Things started out well, the BF had a tasty Manhattan and I had a mocktail that was subtle and delicious, and not overpriced as mocktails often are. But alas. The house salads that we ordered were overdressed in a vinaigrette so acidic we couldn't finish them. And there wasn't much to them. Other than greens and fried shallots and pickled red onions, there was a tiny dusting of some finely grated cheese. And who needs two kinds of onions and nothing else on the salad? Then we each had a bowl of the matzo ball soup, which was ridiculous. Three matzo balls sitting in a quarter-inch of broth that was so unbelievably salty that we couldn't eat that either. We ended up asking for hot water to dilute the broth to a level of saltiness that was edible. The chicken was okay and the matzo balls were okay. A little gummy. But the broth was just awful. It all made me wonder if the chef had lost their sense of taste due to Covid or something. Seriously. I've had that happen to me a couple of times and all I could taste was really basic stuff like sour and salt. And our waitress was totally uninterested in trying to make our experience better. She wasn't rude, she was just indifferent to the fact that we'd been served two courses that we absolutely couldn't eat. Didn't offer us anything to compensate or even express any sympathy about it. We got out of there as fast as we could and made ourselves feel better with an Andy's frozen custard.

    Clean & nice people. I had sides, Mac & Cheese. Nothing to write home about. See I have this…read moreassumption of someone has it on their menu It should be with trying. Made in house. ....no. but let me tell you they made up for it with the jalapeño grits. OMG I could have eaten a pint of that. I also had a lovely drink. It has amazing spices and with the 2 or 3 wines they added rum. My spouse had a fried bologna sandwhich which she said was good.

    I was a fervent Root Cellar-er when they were under the old owners and when they were located on…read moreBroadway (more on that later), but now it's on a whole 'nother level. No, literally, they have more than one level to the store. What's going on? Why can't they just stay in that basement place and call it good? Well, this new venue is bigger, and the old owner(s) also owned the Broadway Brewery, and the rumor is they are going to expand that restaurant into the basement place where they old Root Cellar was located. Plus, this new place has much more panache, and since the new downtown farmer's market started on Sundays, this new location hooks them into that whole casbah (or would it be a souk?). Anyhow, there are things in the works. Some of the things in the works: Free wi-fi for the internet deficient. There is a loading dock that they want to turn into a stage for live music acts, and the audience can hunker down in the parking lot and listen al fresco. They've already installed a cooler in the loading dock deck, where they might start stocking beer and wine and such. I told them to install some old speakers and a turntable and an amp, and I would provide a mess of vinyl, and that would attract the neo-retro folks who dig that stuff. Who knows. From the loading dock deck, you can saunter down a few stairs into a long room with a huge wooden bar, end-capped with a deli counter. So the plan is, to have sandwiches and stuff, as well as coffee, tea, etc. Perhaps they will give Uprise a run for their money? I say they should aim for a different consumer niche, since Uprise has pretty much locked-in the hipster crowd, they need to go for the blue collar crowd who appreciate all that local food/music stuff. Who knows? This could usher in a critical mass for the new North Village Arts District. Maybe it will give the "District" a run for their money. The "District" being the semi-mafioso oligarchs who control the downtown area, and who took out the benches from the sidewalks because unseemly folks were sitting in them. I guess they installed them, so they can take them out, but geez, it sounds a little draconian. For all I know the NVA District folks will do the same thing, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Anyhow, here is a good article on their moving, and some nice photos: http://www.columbiamissourian.com/stories/2011/06/20/root-cellar-moves-north-village-arts-district/ In addition, they have a CSA, where you can get a box of local veggies and fruits and stuff for like $30 or so. They give you a little print out with info on where everything came from, and some recipes that include some of the foods. You pay by the week, but to guarantee a box, you should sign up. The new owners are real nice, and if you are looking for suggestions on what is good or interesting, they are very helpful.

    Great little find in downtown! I read online that this place has THE best chicken available around…read moretown and boy was I correct! At first I was sticker shocked at the price, but after realizing that I'm supporting local agriculture as well as, having the closest thing to fresh here -- totally worth it!!! I wish it could fresh and not frozen, but hey not complaining! Their veggies are delish and fresh, too! Can't beat local arugula from MO! Definitely check it out!
