Nashville to St Louis via Mammouth Cave National Park
St Louis - Bogarts Smokehouse
Kansas City - Joe's Kansas City Smokehouse
Betonville - (could not find any standout food options in NW AR)
Tulsa - Elmers
Am I missing anything good? Anyone familiar with the routes and thinks there is a place along the way worth stopping at?
I'm not sure if you have taken your trip yet or not, but you have a pretty good list there....You might want to see if 17th Street BBQ in Marion/Murphysboro Illinois is along your way as that is pretty high grade in my opinion...
Bogart's is the best I have ate anywhere...I live 100+ miles from there and have, more than once, jumped in the car on a whim and drove over there just to eat and come home...
