Beauty is in the eye of the beholder which is one reason why I will rarely ever criticize what someone else thinks is beautiful, but in the case of People Magazine's choice for the most beautiful Missouri restaurant they're dead wrong.

People Magazine (oh, wait...magazines aren't much of a thing anymore so let's just call them "People") says that Grünauer in Kansas City is (in their eyes) the most beautiful Missouri restaurant. Here's the view of their restaurant if you're about to walk in.

And here's the view if you're standing outside of Grünauer.

No offense intended to Grünauer as I hear it's a spectacular place to eat, but "beauty" is not a word that comes to mind when you're staring at a parking lot in downtown Kansas City.

Let me suggest that People could have made a better choice when it comes to "beautiful" Missouri restaurants. How about The Blufftop at Rocheport Les Bourgeois Vineyards with this view.

If you're sitting at a table at this spectacular Missouri winery, you have this view.

Again I want to emphasize nothing against the People Magazine choice for Missouri's most beautiful restaurant since that's a very subjective thing, but don't you think this would have been a more compelling choice?
