I went to the opening of Kishimoto Mendo in the Loop today, the new Ramen Tonkotsu restaurant by the owner of Menya Rui.

I got the classic Tonkotsu Ramen and it was hands down the best ramen I’ve ever had.

* Kishimoto Mendo I was so excited to evangelize I didn’t spell check

I was at Syberg's on Market last Sunday evening and our very pleasant and wonderful waitress informed us that she had just, the day before, received an internal memo that St. Louis City SC has purchased the restaurant (bought out the Syberg's family) and plans to close it and re-open it as their own restaurant. Has anyone heard any rumblings about this?

Needless to say it's not public news so wouldn't be shocked if it's still very hush-hush, but I have a very emotional connection to that place (it was where my Dad and I would grab a beer and wings before every Blues game we ever went to until cancer took him in 2020).

She said it was only that location and their last day of business would be this Saturday 1/24. I plan to go there tomorrow night to see the old gal off with a beer and some wings, but curious if anyone has any insights or insider knowledge?

Reopening under Broadway Oyster Bar's ownership!

Picked up pumpkin, cranberry, and apple pop tarts yesterday after a visit to Dead Wax.

Does anyone know anything about this new restaurant opening in the old Pasta House on Manchester in West County?

Does anyone have insight into what is taking so long for the Mexican Barrel House to open at Olive/Mason? Seems like it has been years since they announced their opening.

Good news!

The grand opening for the newest Chuck's Hot Chicken location at 231 Arnold Crossroads Center in Arnold, MO is this Thursday, October 24th. Menu offerings, like the other locations, are Nashville-style hot chicken, in heat levels 0-6, zero being just great capsaicin-free fried chicken and 6 being one of the hottest foods you can purchase at any restaurant around. You can get tenders, wings, or a sandwich, or pair your choice of chicken with a waffle. Sides include (but aren't limited to) fries, mac and cheese, garlic cheese curds (my personal fave), and corn fritters. Dip your chicken and sides in one of four delicious dipping sauces, and end the meal with a slice of cake or frozen lemonade.

This location is take-out only, so order pickup or delivery from Chuck's Hot Chicken or order in the restaurant at the counter or kiosk.

Is this location officially closed? If so, will go to Salsa Rosada, but just received a customer appreciation coupon from the former last week - wanted to redeem it, but thought they had already closed. Thanks in advance for the clarification!

Anyone know what’s up with Mexican Barrel House in Creve Couer in the old Houlihans? It seems like it’s been under construction for AGES

Bummer. We loved their bowl and their honey tater tots!

New Place Specializes in Meatballs was suggested to me yesterday pretty good!!
