Arenzville, Illinois - Burgoo Center of the World

Arenzville bills itself as the "Burgoo Center of the World." I mean, it's got to bill itself as something. This ancient stew is yearly served up by the hundreds of gallons and is composed of everything living. The ingredients are a secret, but no stray dogs and cats wander the town once the Burgoo is served. [Ken Bradbury, 05/30/1998]

[RA: And, as we all know, Burgoo is best served by a certified Burgoomeister in a special clean bowl.]
