Jackson, Mississippi – Walker’s Drive-In
Jackson Mississippi Walkers Drive In
This location is deceptively designed to appear as a jazzy hamburger joint from the exterior, but the interior couldn’t be further from the illusion. Headed by chef Derek Emerson, this spot brings a fancier form of Southern soul food. Come on down for some Pan-Roasted Sea Scallops or Shrimp and Grits! A feelgood night with Walker’s goes for roughly $70 a head.
Kansas City, Missouri – Bluestem
Kansas City Missouri Bluestem
Having just celebrated a well-deserved revamping following its one-decade anniversary, Bluestem now brings a tempting prix fixe selection stratified into three, five and seven courses. The priciest choice maxes out at $125 a head. Megan and Colby Garrelts, Bluestem’s co-owners, describe their fare as developed American cooking. Bluestem edits its menu on a day-to-day basis, based on the availability of ingredients. You can expect completely fresh servings, all personally crafted by their capable staff.
