The lunch hour is a mad rush for these workers inside the Beef House at the Missouri State Fair

The line, of hungry state fair patrons, was out the door the day we visited the Missouri State Fair.  One of our favorite stops at the fair was the Missouri Cattlemen’s Beef House.

Thanks to Andy Atzenweiler, Managing Editor for Missouri Beef Cattleman, the official magazine of the Missouri Cattlemen’s Association, we got a behind the scenes (or behind the counter) look at what takes place at the Beef House.

The menu includes ribeye dinners cooked as you order, ribeye sandwiches, beef hotdogs, steak salads, and beef hamburgers.  Andy told us beef fans will consume 22,000 pounds of beef.

Patty, the manager of the beef house, has a simple request for you if you’re heading to the Fair.

“Come and see us…the food is ready.  The 10 ounce steaks are great, 1/3 pound burgers and air conditioning.  We’d love to see you!”
