Eating St. Louis: The Gateway City's Unique Food Culture ReviewThis book stirs up memories.
Last Saturday evening, I got home from a tiring trip around 9 o'clock, and the only thing I wanted to do was get into bed. But there was a package waiting on my doorstep. Inside was "Eating St. Louis," and I was up until after midnight leafing through this entertaining book, remembering a lot of great meals and, more important, the people and places that served them.
Of course, it helps when your recollections of St. Louis restaurants go back to the '40s, when my Mom and Dad took me to Medart's, The Hill and the Mayfair's dining room on each of our annual vacation trips to the big city. It also helps if you were living there when Gaslight Square was still going strong and later on when all those intriguing shoestring restaurants started popping up on Euclid and in the Loop. But anyone who has spent much time at all in St. Louis will have fun recalling the eating places, food markets and drinking establishments that turn up in this book.
I don't want to make it sound as if "Eating St. Louis" is fixated on the past. Pat Corrigan gives equal time to the current restaurant scene, and I was interested to find out how much it has grown in the ten years I've been gone from town. This book would be a useful guide for anyone planning a trip to St. Louis and hoping for some great meals -- or for folks who already live there and want to expand their dining-out repertoire. Some of those places on Lafayette Square sound especially tempting.
As you can tell from the above, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I've known its author since the days we worked together at the Post-Dispatch, and I have read several of her many books. "Eating St. Louis" is now my favorite...though the one about the Zoo is still right up there.Eating St. Louis: The Gateway City's Unique Food Culture Overview
