What a great find!! I have it in favorites now of course and will check it often. It is so great to have a source like this - when you go on vacation it's sad to waste time and money on not-so-great (or just downright bad) restaurants when you know people are out there who can direct you to the good ones. It's also nice to have a "chowhound" source - I am definitely a chowhound and have been since high school! I'm a supporter of non-chain restaurants - I will go to chains occasionally but I'm a big, big fan of the local restaurateur! Thanks again!! I'll be sure to post my "review" if we are able to make our trip to St. Louis next week. Tue Sep 30 11:38:07 -0700 2003 0 Chuck Weger 1 663955 There are lots of great places to explore in St. Louis. W/ any luck there will be many trips in your future!

Kudos also for spelling restaurateur correctly; so many people want to put in an "n" because of the root word restaurant. I think you're one smart cookie! Oh no, another food reference -ha!
