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.

Illinois health officials prep to transfer patients from metro-east hospital

Illinois regulators are preparing to potentially transfer patients out of Gateway Regional Medical Center in Granite City and ambulances are being sent to other hospitals. The hospital is still open, but the Illinois Department of Public Health confirmed Gateway and another medical center owned by the same company are on bypass status due to “staffing instability.” St. Louis-based KMOV first reported the development. The operators of the 278-bed safety net hospital have been late paying staff. An IDPH spokesman said that the agency had alerted the state’s labor and employment security departments about unmet payroll at Gateway and at Vista Medical Center in Waukegan, Illinois. Both hospitals are owned by California-based company American Healthcare Systems. “Gateway and Vista are private, for-profit hospitals whose operations and finances are managed by American Healthcare Systems. Their lack of communication, transparency, and responsible financial management and contingency planning is extremely concerning,” the spokesman for the IDPH said in an email. “The Illinois Department of Public Health’s highest immediate priority is the health and safety of the patients and has been working and communicating with hospital administrative leaders in this regard.” Representatives from Gateway Regional Medical Center and American Healthcare Systems did not respond to

Since 1946, Ted Drewes Has Been Handing Frozen Custard Concretes Out The Window On Route 66 In St. Louis

They hand your dessert across the counter upside down, and not a drop falls out. That little flip is a famous ritual at a walk-up custard stand on old Route 66 in Missouri. The treat is called a concrete, and the name fits because it’s frozen custard blended so thick a spoon nearly stands up. The stand has no indoor seating, so everyone orders at the windows and eats outside.
