We have some fine places to eat right here in Sedalia.
You might not realize it, but there are at least a dozen high quality, non-chain eateries that make their home right here in the State Fair City. Every time someone I know passes through town, they can’t help but talk about the selection. It’s nothing compared to some of those other cities; but it is impressive for what it is — even without the classic diners of yore.
