Blue Plate Lunch Special at Farmhaus Restaurant

If you’re tuned into the St. Louis restaurant and food scene, you’ve probably heard about a recently opened restaurant in town that has quickly gained a loyal following of lunch and dinner groupies.

Affordable Nicaraguan Cuisine at Fritanga

If I were to make a list of all of my favorite foods, you would probably notice a quarter of the list could be summed up with the description “Stuffed Pockets of Dough.” I’m obsessed. Typically, I satisfy my cravings with pork and chicken dumplings from Trader Joe’s (7 dumplings for 230 calories!), [...]

Delicious Dogs in an Unexpected Location

DJGel was having a rough weekend this past week so it was no surprise when the air conditioner suddenly broke and a huge puddle of water started forming at its base. Living in an upstairs apartment, this is one of the worst things that can happen so we made a mad dash to the [...]

Katie’s Pizzeria: Lunch Deal & Review

Located directly across from the Schnuck’s that DJGel and I regularly shop at, Katie’s Pizzeria in Clayton has always been a tempting place to stop, especially since we had heard great things about their pizza.

First, it seems as though quite a few Downtown restaurants have closed in the past month. Second, Crepes in the City [...]

Affordable Spanish Small Plates at BARcelona

The following post is a guest review from my lunch buddy Wu, who unfortunately, has abandoned me on our lunch outings due to the end of summer vacation and the start of the school season. Recently, he dined out at BARcelona and, finding it surprisingly affordable, forwarded me a quick write-up about his experience. [...]

Anniversary Dinner at Niche Restaurant

Last night DJGel and I celebrated our two year anniversary in style at Niche in Benton Park, a restaurant consistently ranked as one of St. Louis’ best restaurants. We are both huge fans of Gerard Craft and his innovative cuisine so I had been planning out my dinner order and rambling on with excitement [...]

The Official St. Louis (County) Icee Review

Since my previous column about Hooters (the restaurant—get your mind out of the gutter!) was such a rousing success, I figured I would follow it up with something that I am truly passionate about – Icees!
Since their invention by Omar Knedlik in… well, “when” is not so important— Since their invention a long time ago, [...]
