Chef behind Famous-Barr's French onion soup has died: His story and the recipe

Manfred Zettl, a master chef renowned for perfecting one of the St. Louis area’s most iconic culinary creations — Famous-Barr’s French onion soup — has died. Zettl, 85, died of natural causes Oct. 30 in St. Louis, but the culinary creations he crafted over a lifetime will live on in people’s memories.

He began his career in Austria and aboard cruise ships, serving Hollywood celebrities and heads of state. Whether you enjoyed the signature soup at Famous-Barr’s Scandia Room at St. Clair Square or in the downtown St. Louis tearoom after viewing the Christmas window displays, chances are you recall its distinctive aroma throughout the dining areas.

Zettl didn’t invent the soup, but he was responsible for what he described as “perfecting” it.
