Isn't the correct term "foodie"?

Yeah. Haven't eaten there in years though. I had thought the original owner sold off the rights to the place a few years back though, right?lukethedrifter wrote:++maddash wrote:Elitistslukethedrifter wrote:That seems obvious to you and me.haltz wrote:LOL, yeah I'd rather go to The French Laundry than eat a McRib too.You can have your Chicken Bowls and McRibs, give me Red'z Rib Shack or The French Laundry.
I'm definitely going to have to try this place when I come into town.
Strangely, I like to eat food made by someone who knows how to cook. Btw, have you eaten at Red'z in Maryville? Closing on Sunday for good so, mercifully, Maryvillians won't have to drive a mile and a half up 159 for their last minute Valentine gifts at the heretofore nearest Walgreen's.
Too bad there aren't enough good BBQ joints around St. Louis. Supers Smokers is good (they used to have a location in O'Fallon Il that was great), and Smoki O's is good Downtown... but not much else after that. Smokin' Al's is close to where I live, but I'm not a huge fan.
Try the fried pig's head for me at Niche... I'll get there one of these days.

Bandana's is pretty good for a local chain, I think.

Fat Toney's in Soulard is alright (a bit dry for my BBQ tastes). Highway 61 Roadhouse in Webster Groves is pretty good. Lester's Sports Bar in Ladue has possibly the best pulled pork sammich I've ever eaten in my life--the pork literally melts in your mouth.maddash wrote:

Tonight I try fried pigs head. Red'z has had "new" owners for a few years now but it was really good Wednesday.maddash wrote:Yeah. Haven't eaten there in years though.

Smokin Al's sucks. Try Pappy's near Olive at Compton. The guy was one of the Super Smoker owners but I heart Pappy's way more. And don't leave out 17th St over in O'Fallon.
