Sugarfood & Peaches BBQ in Fort Scott, Kansas. Not exactly the south. But they have gumbo and Cajun boiled peanuts. There’s a white pig on the roof and a white dog in front of the left window (you can barely see him.) The dog is live. Don’t think the pig is.
When she lived in Georgia, [...]

Gary Gladstone returned to Kansas a few years ago for another photograph for his [...]

Dave had some sort of burger inside a tortilla. He took a bite from the onion ring before I had a chance to photograph the plate!
We stopped at Beaumont on a trip we made to South Central Kansas in mid-August.
I had a BLT. Very good.

The Stockman’s Cafe in Cambridge (pop. 101). Cowley County.

Apparently (see Prairie Air’s comment below), it’s just open for coffee and conversation, not food.
