favorite places to eat in St. Louis

an imperfect and arbitrary list...

  • Guido's (on the Hill)
  • Saleem's (in the Loop)
  • Gyro House (ditto)
  • Thai Gai Yong Cafe (ditto, though unsure of the spelling)
  • Venice Cafe (Benton Park)
  • Chimichanga's (not quite So. Grand)
  • Crown Candy (my neighborhood, the hood, Old North St. Louis)
  • Chocolate Bar (Lafeyette Square. Technically, we go there for drinks, but when you can have a chocolate martini, who really needs dinner?!)
  • McGurks (Soulard)
  • Empress Express (downtown. Cheap Chinese at its best)
  • Uncle Bills (So. City location. Diner/breakfast food with bona fide diner waitresses)
  • Banh Mi Bobba Tea and Creperie, and also St. Louis Bubble Tea (tapioca balls in your slushie drink? Woof, yes. Plus the food and the atmosphere are top notch, assuming you like unique Asian experiences like loud TV's and lots of Chinese-speaking)

Seriously, Mags, TMI!!!

Moving on... you should check out El Loco Burrito right around the corner from Chimichangas at Bates & Grand (on Bates at the northeast corner of the intersection). It's a little hole-in-the-wall but yummy :)
