Sometimes a drive along the open road, especially when we don’t have a particular destination in mind, leads us somewhere we’d never expect. A funky little town in Missouri. An awe-inspiring Missouri botanical garden. Or maybe we happen upon an unassuming restaurant in Missouri that boasts a jam-packed parking lot, giving us an inkling that this is one place we want to check out.

If you’re hungry for a bit of both, order the combo chicken and ham dinner. Make sure you’re hungry, though, because each meal comes with mashed potatoes, cole slaw, applesauce, green beans, and bread and butter.
