The Dinner Bell at Eagleville, Missouri

On a trip this year from Kansas to Minnesota, we stopped in at the Dinner Bell . It is less than ten miles from the Iowa State Line on I35, exit 106. Dine All Night.
I had a Belgian waffle that was shaped like an eight petalled flower. My husband had homemade hash. The restaurant was quiet and sleepy, it was before 6 a.m. A small truck stop cafe. The counter featured jars of jam for sale, and bars of homemade soap. Our bill came to $16.04, you can be sure we had plenty of coffee and eggs along with our waffles and hash. Sausage for me as well. This is one we would definitely visit again.

Drive and Dine

Before we were computer literate, before we knew that we could share in a blog, we thought it would be really neat to be able to share some of the restaurants we found as we drove around the country, visiting family and friends. We thought about publishing a book, but never found the time. Ten years later, I am finally starting to blog about the beautiful drives we have taken, and the wonderful places we have stopped to eat along the way. Sadly, some of the places we have been no longer exist, and the posts will just contain memories of those places.
