The iconic sandwich of St. Louis

<< < (2/3) > >>

JTHunter:
A co-worker turned me on to Park Chop Suey back in the early 80s.  Back then, Steven Yuen was behind the window barking out orders and he was a character !
There is a younger woman running the place now and they have moved from that old converted house on Park to a remodeled gas station at the corner of 14th and Chippewa.
Their sweet & sour pork/chicken are great as are their crab rangoon and wontons.  The biggest problem is the high tax rate in St. Louis.  The last time I was there, it was just under 12% and that was over a year ago (for obvious reasons).

just Warren:
If the St. Louis area could manage to learn how to make some decent BBQ they might be able to put themselves on the culinary map.

Bogie:
The best BBQ places are the parking lots with a trailer and a guy with a popup tent. No license, no health department, no nuthin'...

Bogie:
Up towards Kingshighway and Natty Bridge... War zone at night...

No, St. Louis never gets any plaudits. Anything they try will be panned. Anyone else remember a few years ago, when some bakeries around here were slicing their bagels "the wrong way," and people treated them like they were making puppy sandwiches?
