As I’ve been preparing for the Centennial this week, I’ve been emailing with friends, discussing “must see” places.
KOMU made every list, we want to visit the State Capitol and the just-as-institutional Phill Brooks. We discussed a few old hangouts — but for me one group of destinations is paramount: eateries.
I’ve been lucky enough to travel many places around the world — and I’ve found a favorite restaurant almost everywhere I’ve been.
Here are a few of my Columbia favorites that come to mind:
- Addisons for appetizers
- Booches’ burgers
- Flat Branch
- Ernie’s for Breakfast
Of course, we’ll gorge on pizza at Shakespeare’s. And we might even spend a late night at the Diner — I spent more time there during college than I’d like to admit.
If anybody has any other suggestions, or places I surely forgot — please share. What are you looking forward to the most?
While I expect the food to be great — I’m most excited about the people: seeing friends from school, other alumni who have helped me along the way, and meeting others who have shared in the Mizzou J-School experience over the years.
