Our friends told us about this restaurant in Missouri. We saw the sign as we approached the town of Skiteston and thought we would stop and see the unusual place of dining for ourselves. There are only 3 of these restaurants in the United States.The other 2 are in the Ozarks of Missouri and Foley, Alabama, in case you ever want to visit one. If you don't care for noise and a little chaos...
it may not be your place to visit.
That's right...he is throwing rolls to people dining that want a roll. The history of this tradition of "roll throwing" started in 1976 when the owner usually walked around handing out rolls to customers. It is told that one day it was so busy and crowded that he couldn't get to a customer to hand the roll to him.
The customer yelled to the owner...
"just toss it to me!" and that's how it all started.
The rolls are gigantic and are fresh out of the oven so they are pretty warm when you catch them. Besides the rolls, servers walk around asking you if you would like: black-eyed peas, fried potatoes, chicken fried steak, and macaroni and tomatoes. (these are put on your plate, not thrown :-) Unlimited refills on all these extras!
Besides your mouth being busy taking in all the food that is being offered to you...
your eyes will be taking in all the collections
displayed on the walls and ceiling.
That sounds like fun. I will have to remember this place. It also sounds like your road trip is going well, other than the shaving cream motel.
