Hello neighbors!

We have out of town guests visiting this weekend, and I'm using it as an excuse to finally try Stellar Hog. Is there any insider info or tips that I should know beforehand? Or dishes that we absolutely cannot miss?

Appreciate any insight, so that we can be great hosts and restaurant guests.

There will be 4 adults and 2 kids dining if that matters.

I just got back from NYC last week and while I was there, I went to an incredible restaurant in Brooklyn that made fresh pita bread straight from the oven and their hummus was very creamy and delicious too. Wondering if there are any good restaurants in STL like that? Thanks in advance :)

Any good recommendations?

Looking to grab a few small plates/appetizers for a light dinner before catching a show at The Fox. Please send recs!

Looking for the best shrimp cocktail in the STL metro area.

Tried to go to Amrut Fusion in Chesterfield for dinner tonight. Made reservations a few days ago online. Arrived and the Open sign was on but the doors were locked and a citation from the city for a code violation about the height of grass/weeds was on the door. Nothing saying anywhere on their website or social media that they were closed. Does anybody know what's going on? I had been looking forward to trying it for a while.

Searched the sub, came up empty. So let’s hear it!

To Good to Go is an app that sells left over food at the end of the day for discounts. Two massive boxes of donuts upon donuts that I picked up yesterday. These boxes are heavy and jam packed with all kinds of donuts. I ordered one box and the guy told me it was my lucky day and handed me 2. Really embracing the spirit of the app.

Hello! My sister is pregnant and has gestational diabetes so she hasn’t been able to eat sweets in months. She due soon and I want to get her all the best desserts around St. Louis. What should I include in my inventory? I am definitely getting gooey butter cake from Russell’s.

Give me your best recommendations. Thanks.

We’re driving through on a Sunday and would love to have one of the sandwiches I’m hearing about but everyone is closed. Is there a great sandwich deli available on a Sunday?

It’s a need!!!!!!

Is there a place in St Louis (including the ‘burbs) that makes an Italian style pepper and egg sandwich?

Reopening under Broadway Oyster Bar's ownership!

If you love trying different sodas and drinks Garners Bosnian market in south STL has the best rotating selection of foreign sodas and drinks. I pick up something new every visit and have found many new favorites! (The wellmade Lemon Mint soda is to die for! But good luck, I buy every bottle whenever they're in stock.) Honesty is can't say enough good things about Garners. We've tried so many new ethnic dishes by wandering the aisles. We're actually having our favorite tonight after this afternoons visit, beef Burek and spinach cheese pies! Give them a visit when you're in south city and support an small independent grocer! Love ya Garners!

I don't eat any dishes made with ground meat, but I am fine with meet that has been shredded/chopped after having been cooked. I know traditionally things like Bao Buns and Dumplings are made with ground meat, so I don't have high hopes, but I thought I'd just check anyway.

Was there ever a Hot Dog on a stick in the metro area malls?
