Do you now, or have you ever lived in or around the city of St Louis?

[Kohl420]

I actually by a bunch of their pre-made frozen pizzas and have them shipped to me in Rhode Island. It's pretty damn expensive, but taste exactly like the real thing and is totally worth it when you're craving some St. Louis style pizza

Order Dogtown and give them a try. They are locals and it's better than IMO's, IMO.

Born an raised in Franklin County. Half of my town is actually Crawford county. Being that we are still in the STL area(about 70 miles south west) I've always looked at going to the malls as an event. Making a trip to Watson road as a kid for Christmas shopping was always a big deal. Boy how times have changed. Now, as a grown man, I'll take my acreage and quite anyday to anything STL has to offer. Except Imos, love that shit. We just got one a couple years ago. Lol. we are the last town down 44 to actually get STL stations. Once you pass me, you get a lot of Chiefs fans so that's annoying.

I see you're a man of few words. In this case, too few. Is this great pizza? What are you trying to say? I see a red flag in your picture which makes me wonder.

"frozen"

Let me know because if it''s really good I'll let my sister know about it. Even if it's just really good for frozen pizza.

The ultimate St Louis meal:

The Crossing's Blue cheese soufflé

Yen Ching's Sizzling Rice Soup

Cardwells calamari

Del Pietros house salad

Sydney Street's bread service

A White Barn cheeseburger

And a slice of baklava from Olympia (the sheet baklava, not that pinwheel crap that they try to pass off on you when you get it to go).

I'm assuming you never had Kemoll's Calamari

 

[Alan]

Dodgersrf wondering about the quality:
We don't have White Castle out here in so cal. Is it that good?

No they are not good. Good luck trying to figure out what animal/ vegetable/alien that meat came from.

They're very small and very cheap. Curiously addicting though. My friend and I used to go there every night after work (2nd shift) and I'd order 5 burgers and 7 fish sandwiches. Had no trouble eating them all. As time went on I bought less and less of the burgers and more of the fish sandwiches. Decent but not great fries. Of course this was in 1968 so things might have changed a little since then.

ASSUME NOTHING!!

But no, I never did.

Born and raised in Ballwin. Four years in Columbia (MIZ), then two in Tokyo, then moved up to Boston in '05.

 

[ozarkram]

Transplanted to Missouri about 35 years ago. Attend SEMO in the early 80s so had a lot of friends from the St. Louis area. Spent quite abit of time in St. Louis because of a girlfriend that co-oped with Macdonald-Douglas. Would like to say I got to know the city well but was spending all my time trying to keep her in bed, every moment she spent out of bed was a waste.

We do have In-n-Out. Five Guys is good as well.

Alan summed it up pretty good in his above post. We always headed there after a night of drinking. They are curiously addicting as Alan put it. lol There's also a reason they're called "sliders". The fish is also their best item. I got to the point I was getting doubles all the time because they're small burgers and fish. Not the best, but still good. They use to be (in the 80's) one of the most profitable fast food franchises, and privately owned. Not sure if they are now or not.

My godfather was working on a primary election against the Webbe's. He was attacked by their thugs and had to be hospitalized.

Your "godfather"? JK man. Sorry to hear. I guarantee it wasn't my sister. Unless she attacked him with one of her crutches. St. Louis politics are like politics anywhere else. They can be ruthless. Hope he came out ok.

He did. This was years ago, before I was even born. The Webbes were ruthless

 

[rhinobean]

White Castle is OK, but In-n-Out is the truth. (Five Guys is in STL too, pretty good burger)
Whenever we're in California visiting my wife's family we try and stop.

I've never been to an In-n-Out that wasn't jam packed no matter the time of the day we were there.

In-N_Out are yummy! Want some El Pollo Loco when I get out there also!

I believe you. I was joking on the "godfather" reference with the Webbe's. They may have been ruthless but also had a good side. Well, I suppose that was if you were on their side. My sister worked for Sorkis Jr. when he was an alderman. He treated her like gold. As I stated in a few posts back in this thread, they were also known for buying a semi trailer load of turkeys (maybe they hijacked it? lol) or even two at times, and handed them out to their constituents in their ward. Their way of buying votes I guess, but the people the turkeys were given to were the needy ones of the ward. I'm not defending them, just saying they weren't all bad. Last I heard Sorkis Jr. has a restaurant in St. Charles.

I have been to StL for 1 game...not sure I could live where people smoke in restaurants.

Come on over to the other side of the river to the Metro East. No smoking allowed indoors anywhere.

Man, I swear by Dogtown's frozen pizza. There's another brand out that I actually like a little better, but I prefer both of them to paying for Imo's high priced pizza. I get mine from Schnuck's.

 

[Lesson]

Cafe Manhattan is no more! It's still a restaurant but in different hands and name was changed. Ted's is forever, I hope! Born and raised in STL and not going anywhere!

It's less than a quarter mile from my house. It still exists.

 

[rhinobean]

Actually Al, Farrato's Pizza was better.

Farotto's is better! So's Elicia's! They're all good to me!
