People Magazine's 'Most Beautiful' Missouri Restaurant is Wrong
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder which is one reason why I will rarely ever criticize what someone else thinks is beautiful, but in the case of People Magazine’s choice for the most beautiful Missouri restaurant they’re dead wrong.
People Magazine (oh, wait…magazines aren’t much of a thing anymore so let’s just call them “People”) says that Grünauer in Kansas City is (in their eyes) the most beautiful Missouri restaurant. Here’s the view of their restaurant if you’re about to walk in.

And here’s the view if you’re standing outside of Grünauer.

No offense intended to Grünauer as I hear it’s a spectacular place to eat, but “beauty” is not a word that comes to mind when you’re staring at a parking lot in downtown Kansas City.
Let me suggest that People could have made a better choice when it comes to “beautiful” Missouri restaurants. How about The Blufftop at Rocheport Les Bourgeois Vineyards with this view.

Again I want to emphasize nothing against the People Magazine choice for Missouri’s most beautiful restaurant since that’s a very subjective thing, but don’t you think this would have been a more compelling choice?

Missouri men’s basketball just keeps rolling.
The Tigers strung together their fifth straight win, this time defeating Arkansas Pine Bluff in a 112-64 blowout at home Sunday afternoon. The second half struggles that have typically come to bite them didn’t appear, instead pushing the same offensive pace until the very end of the contest.
Junior Mark Mitchell was the star of the show for Missouri. The forward scored a season-high 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting, paired with five rebounds and a block. Although not a threat on the perimeter, his offensive prowess inside the paint gives the Tigers a consistent option.
Graduate senior Caleb Grill continued his dominance from behind the arc, dropping 14 points on 5-of-9 shooting from the field and 4-of-8 shooting from 3-point range. Senior Tamar Bates also added 13 points of his own on 5-of-8 shooting from the field.
Perhaps the most impressive performance of the night, however, came from sophomore Anthony Robinson II. The guard was everywhere on both sides of the ball, recording a double-double of 11 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists and a block on 3-of-7 shooting from the field.
It was the first double-double of Robinson’s young career at Missouri.
The Tigers did struggle to shoot the 3-pointer compared to previous games, finishing with just a 9-of-32 clip. That was negated by their 54 points in the paint, as well as their ability to prevent the Golden Lions from having success in their own right.
Arkansas Pine Bluff shot 9-of-28 from three — a more efficient night of shooting, but on less attempts compared to Missouri. It also turned the ball over 19 times, allowing the Tigers 33 easy points off them.
Missouri also had an uncharacteristically good game under the basket, grabbing 19 offensive rebounds that resulted in 24 second-chance points. Five of those rebounds came from Robinson.
Before Thanksgiving arrives, the Tigers will go up against Lindenwood at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in Mizzou Arena.
