Elicias is by far the best St. Louis style pizza, we have relatives all the way down in Florida and Texas who come up to visit and they have to have Elicias everytime they come up. My brother in Texas even takes some home frozen, he actually brings up a large cooler to transport them back…

Best of my eating research:

Lunch / Desert:
Crown Candy is AWESOME and a blast-from the past…a real 1920’s soda fountain type place…killer grill w/sandwiches..ice cream, etc. MMMmmmmm…Reuben & malt anyone?

Mexican:

Pueble Nuevo @ N. Lindbergh…next to Dirt Cheap. The one and only. Don’t take my word for it, trust all the newspaper critics…and Mexican people who eat there. Recently expanded. The hot sauce is the hottest around with an eXcElLeNt flavor. Mix it with the mild if it’s too much….and get some to go. This sauce is what transformed me into "Mr Sauce" :)!

BBQ:

Richard’s Ribs on Big Bend in Kirkwood. Again, if you don’t trust me they get five stars from the newspaper guys…this place has the sauce baby!!! Their baked beans stand out as well…the best I’ve ever had.

Hey Dave!
I totally agree with your St. Louis commentary. I'm a transplant, too and can't stand Imo's either. Fortel's is truly a find!! If you want good BBQ, however, you ARE in luck! Head out westbound hwy 44 and stop at Super Smoker's in Eureka (on the westbound outer road, before Six Flags). FANTASTIC! They routinely win awards in Memphis. The ribs are always meaty and juicy and they offer about 6 different sauces on the side -- each one out of this world.

Do you like Thai? You must try the King and I on Grand! How about Mexican? Pueblo Solice on Hampton is the best! And for chamber music -- St. Louis Chamber Chorus is performing at the Cathedral Basilica this February! An event you really shouldn't miss!!!!!

Hi Bruce,

Sounds good, but I've never been to Louisville and don't have any business contacts there. But thanks for the offer.

Dave,

Next time you will be near Louisville please let us know. I am going out on a limb here, but you have to try my wife's pizza. If you like homemade thick yeasty crust that is crispy on the outside and soft inside, home-made tomato sauce, hot italian sausage, roasted garlic, mozzarella, and spinach on a pizza, you WILL be in hog heaven!

So, any trips planned to the Louisville vicinity?
