Foodie, Hoppy Weekend in St Louis

Foodie, Hoppy Weekend in St Louis

Food and wine fans,

I’m spending the weekend with dear friends in St Louis and they’re committed to introducing me to local foods and beer.
Last night, we dined out and I got to sample meat-filled “toasted raviolis”. Yum! Perfect compliments to cold pilsners.
Today, I’ll be savoring a lasagna made with a cheese loved by locals – Provel. More to come on that. Our evening will involve making a trip to Ted Drewes for its famous Concretes (frozen custards).
Tomorrow’s day will entail a visit to a local winery, Villa Antonio in Hillsboro. Later, we’ll sample famous stuffed pork chops with Gooey Butter Cake for dessert.
While I’m attempting to stay away from the local brew as ‘crafted’ by the King of Beers, I’m enjoying my foodie tour of the Gateway to the West.

Cheers from STL!
