Ask George: Where can a family of 10 go for a holiday dinner in St. Louis?

The question of “a nice place to go with a party of eight to 10” comes up frequently and even more so during the holidays. I started a top-of-mind list that’s by no means all-inclusive. If you know of a place (private or semi-private) that’s worthy of a holiday get-together, email me at [email protected].

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. At Famous-Barr, he oversaw 32 restaurants and 500 employees as executive chef. He later founded one of the area’s first diet-food businesses. 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. The rich, velvety beef broth, loaded with sliced onions, was served in an ovenproof brown McCoy Pottery bowl, topped with baguette slices and a thick layer of bubbling Swiss cheese. Zettl didn’t invent the soup, but he was responsible for what he described as “perfecting” it. He told me its backstory when I was food editor at the now-defunct St. Louis Globe-Democrat, which closed in 1986. He was warm, friendly and

The Key opens its doors and dance floor to all of St. Louis

Tucked into the southern edge of the Grand Center Arts District, The Key Burger Bar & Boogie occupies two of the last historic buildings standing from the old Mill Creek community. Saint Louis University once held the demolition permit. A chorus of public outcry from preservationists, historians and neighbors who remembered what the buildings had been stopped the wrecking ball. The Kranzberg Arts Foundation stepped in, partnered with SLU, the Landmarks Association and the Arch to Park Equity Fund and did something St. Louis does well. It kept the limestone, the tension trusses, the tin ceilings and built a future underneath them.

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...
