The Fried Gizzards At This Unassuming Illinois Diner Have Locals Coming Back Every Week

A giant chicken in a top hat stands on a pole outside a bright turquoise building. Honestly, that alone would make me hit the brakes. The fact that the chicken guards a window serving fried gizzards seals the deal. There’s no dining room here at all. You walk up, order...

Beyond a box of rice

The most “St. Louis” scene from Eric “Remrod” Mayes’ documentary Half Order doesn’t even take place on this continent. A Northside expat who has lived in China for the better part of a decade daps up his favorite street food vendor and greets him in Chinese. He orders some rice and sings its praises. But he still stands on the notion that St. Louis Chinese food is better than any he has eaten in China.

These 7 Missouri Small-Town Taverns Have Been Frying Pork Tenderloins Since Before You Were Born

In Missouri, a pork tenderloin sandwich is not just lunch. It is a breaded, fried, plate-sized tradition that hangs off the bun and dares you to finish it. Some of the best ones come from small-town taverns where the buildings are older than anyone sitting at the bar. From an 1820s stagecoach-era tavern in Arrow Rock to an 1870s German hall in Hermann and a hunting-lodge roadhouse in Clinton, these spots keep the classic alive.

St. Charles has plenty of the second kind, and one South Main Street restaurant has quietly become a favorite for birthdays, anniversaries, business lunches, and lazy weekend brunches. People book tables here for the patio alone, and some of them stumble in by happy accident and come back on purpose.

St. Louis never forgot this soup. Now we’ve lost the man who perfected it.

I love soup. Always have. I’ve written about soup, collected soup recipes from readers and even launched a Wednesday Super Soup Spectacular in Morning Light. Yes, I actually called it that. But there is one soup that stands above the rest, at least in my memory. Famous-Barr’s French Onion...
