Crossing the Mississippi mud in southeastern Missouri, we were mighty hungry. When we saw the sign that proclaimed "the only home of Throwed Rolls," we knew that this was the place of the belt from the feedbag.

Lambert Cafe has been serving homemade meals to the fine people of Sikeston since 1942. Legend has it that on a day particularly intense in 1976, ole Norman Lambert could not get the rolls to their customers, as usual,''em walkin around the restaurant. Fed up, a customer temper shouted "Just the damn thing!" The only home of the Throwed Rolls was born.

At noon on Friday was set Jumpin '. Just as we sat down, a guy came 'round with a bowl of fried okra and Jethro big ole spoon. We declined his offer, given our lack plate. He merely pointed to a roll of paper towels on the table and said: "You have your paper plate there." How could discuss with that? Heat, hot delicious balls of sticky goodness crunched between the teeth.

The okra is just one of many "go arounds" carried despite the fourth solid silver bowls and side also offers important and included in meals. Penne with tomato, black-Eyed Peas and chips are served until Ole Standard hot rolls while flying in the area.

When the "hot rolls, nobody wants a hot roll?" sounded, the lowest signal sent pieces of fresh baked dough upward pipe across the room. Just behind them was a boy with a bucket of sorghum molasses. Adding to the atmosphere were piano styles Geneva Bolen. His flow of consciousness ragtime versions of old standards and modern favorites that helped the whole scene seems more crazy movie and silent-y.

We asked the waitress if they had special credentials needed to become a pitcher Roll. He said there was - took a crack at it his ownself a couple of times - but was forced out after she Beaned an older man on the forehead. Shortly after our conversation, David was unsuspectingly cut by a missile soft yeast. We estimate that happens a lot.

This show took place without stopping before I had even placed our order. The menu is very home like feeling the whole establishment, and be in the BOOTHILL of Missouri, David was forced to order the pork jowl. Veronica chose plate by four vegetables and tickled that somewhere between Wisconsin and cottage cheese Sikeston had become a vegetable.

Jowl Hog's exactly what it sounds, the sliced pork jowl. It is much like bacon and you do not like bacon? However, it appeared that at least four pigs were her cheeks so that the pile of cured pork piled on this board. David did his best, but there was still plenty left over for breakfast at least two days of even after you ate more than half of it. He stated: "If I ate everything I had pulled up."

Vegetables cooked in the tradition of the south - a long and difficult - but very tasty. A part of the pig was included in most vegetables and Veronica was sad that his beans Whites were more ham legumes. This apparently was not the place to eat kosher.

Beverages, all non-alcoholic beverages are served in cups and glasses rivaling the water tower of the city in their ability to contain liquids. Refills are included and the bathroom is through the front door.

Be sure bring your folding green cuz they do not accept credit cards at the only home of the Throwed Rolls.

Towards the end of the meal the boy turned okra again pimping their wares. Taking a look at Veronica's face, proclaimed his "full as a tick on a dog's back."

We had he was right.
