“Courtesy Diner makes the best slinger in the state, the only place I’d order one. While a lot of states have their own “slop dishes” to cure hangovers none are as good as it.”
“Before I moved to Missouri and tried Burnt Ends, I hated BBQ anything. They are so delicious. Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue do good ones, as does LC's Bar-B-Q”
“No one else knows what a Pork Steak is.”
“Nothing beats KC barbecue and the best version is the burnt ends. A cold beer, burnt ends, bbq beans, coleslaw, and some cornbread make any night, a great night”
“As an Italian I was shocked the first time I heard of these!”
Missouri's ballot is Kansas City against St. Louis, with Springfield refereeing. Kansas City Burnt Ends were born at Arthur Bryant's. St. Louis answers with more entries than anyone: Toasted Ravioli, St. Louis Pizza on Provel, the Gerber Sandwich, the Slinger at three in the morning, St. Louis Spare Ribs, Gooey Butter Cake from a bakery mistake, and the Concrete handed over upside-down. Pork Steak grills statewide. Springfield's Cashew Chicken is the wild card. What Missouri is famous for depends entirely on which end of I-70 you start. So what is Missouri's official state dish? The ballot is open until November 1.
