Sikeston, MO

united states

Sikeston anchors Missouri's agricultural Bootheel region along Interstate 55, about halfway between St. Louis and Memphis. The city sits in the Mississippi River delta where cotton and soybean fields stretch to the horizon. Most visitors arrive on I-55 or US 61, while locals use Highway 60 for trips to Cape Girardeau 20 miles north. Lambert's Cafe here invented the "throwed roll" tradition where servers toss hot dinner rolls across the dining room to customers.
