Finally, the Sauce Team has put together a guide: Sauce 75: Your guide to the essential St. Louis restaurants right now, and they discuss a few spots from the list that consistently exceed expectations.
After years of working for other restaurateurs Loryn Nalic, together with her husband Edo Nalic, opened Balkan Treat Box in 2016 as a food truck. The inspiration for the concept came from falling in love with her husband and falling in love with his native Bosnian cuisine; but the development of the menu came from a deeply personal visit she took to Bosnia, which brought the entire Balkan Treat Box menu into focus starting with her favorite -- the cevapi. In this episode Loryn discusses with Meera and Michelle her experience in restaurants; her flagship restaurant and her new restaurant Telva at The Ridge; and the local restaurants that have captured her heart.
This week Michelle and Meera discuss the newly opened Good Company in The Grove, where they are making delicious cocktails with their premium ice. They also discuss the star of the menu: The Good Burger, which is made from ground brisket and chuck, topped with gooey American cheese and thick-cut bacon. Also in the conversation was a recent visit to Revel Kitchen, where the salad actually keeps you full; a jaunt to Wright’s Tavern in Clayton where the crab cake, wine and sundae make for a perfect night out and a birthday brunch at Southwest Diner in Maplewood where the cornmeal pancakes still reign supreme. From the May issue they chat about Apéro Hour a feature that highlights six new spots that are aiming to serve small plates, wine and cocktails and also in the conversation are the many genius riffs on the spicy margarita at local bars in St. Louis.
