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...

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.

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.
