St. Louis Food Scene Favorites

15 Faves as outlined by Kristin Norton over at Movoto.  Here's a "taste" of her selections, but you'll have to follow the link to explore the rest.  It's worth your time!

These 15 St. Louis Restaurants Will Blow The Taste Buds Out Of Your Mouth
Calzones are usually just a side note on a menu dominated by pizzas, but at Sauce On The Side they are the star. And, doing what stars do best, these calzones shine. The 14 unique almost-gourmet selections create a new experience every time.
The Meat Me In St. Louis is a popular choice, loaded with pepperoni, mouth-watering Italian sausage, provel, a mascarpone-ricotta blend in meat sauce, dazzled with garlic oil. Or put your surfboard down for a minute while you enjoy the Five-O, stuffed to the brim with pancetta, pineapple, peppers, smoked cheddar, mozzarella, mascarpone, ricotta, smoked chili and barbecue sauce.

3. The Shaved Duck Is The Place You Bring Your Friends

These 15 St. Louis Restaurants Will Blow The Taste Buds Out Of Your Mouth
Sauce magazine billed The Shaved Duck as “the most underrated restaurant in town,” but after being featured on “Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives,” it’s safe to say that title no longer holds true. The Shaved Duck has quite the reputation in St. Louis and the lines to order from this quaint hotspot can sometimes start forming before the doors even open, so get there early.
They’re well-known and beloved for their barbecue and soul food, but it’s the Smothered Fries everybody leaves talking about. Crispy, hand-cut fries loaded with pulled rib meat with a homemade cheese sauce that will keep you thinking about them for weeks to come. Order a plate of these, which really is big and delicious enough to double as your meal if you want it to, but definitely get yourself an order of the burnt ends.
