Seriously. You might as well meet me if you’re here, and we’re talking about the best burger ever made. If you don’t like burgers, I’d say that Pappy’s Smokehouse is next on the list.

Here are a few other local favorites that you may want to check out: Hodak's - Fried chicken. McGurk's - Irish pub with music. Merbs - Candy and chocolate covered strawberries. Nadoz Cafe - Fresh Fruit Crepe and Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Crepe. If you're at the Brentwood location and feel inspired to make your own crepes, swing by Crate&Barrel and pick up their Crepe Mix, which is super-easy and only needs water, eggs, and oil. Ted Drewes Frozen Custard - The Cardinal Sin is my favorite (hot fudge and tart cherries over custard) and the Dutchman Delight is my second favorite (hot fudge, caramel, and pecans over custard). Try them both as sundaes. Three unique things Ted Drewes is known for - the concrete that you can hold upside-down; hangout spot after Cardinals games; and buying Christmas Trees from the parking lot during the holiday season. The Blue Owl in Kimmswick - Homecooking and pies. Hey Jamey, your list is good. :-) I’ll have to try some of these places. Here are a few other local favorites that you may want to check out:

Though, I must insist that it is really, rather gooey. It's "gooeyness" is what makes it great in the beginning, but once you have lived there for a while it starts to take a toll on your psyche. Imagine what it would be like to wake up in goo, brush your teeth in goo, eat in goo (not eat the goo, after 2 hours you will develop a conditioned taste aversion to the pudding. it sucks.), call your friends in goo, and so on. So next time you think of filling up your respective dwelling with some pudding, think twice. It's not as cool as it seems. seriously, normal chocolate pudding is refrigerated, yours won't be (maybe if you live in an igloo it would be better).

It's Vivola Express @ 1911 Schuetz Rd. You won't be disappointed if you try this place. Not only are the sandwiches amazing, but they have free popcorn. It's one of the top 11 most wonderful places on Earth. Jackpot! I got it! It’s Vivola Express @ 1911 Schuetz Rd.

I'll go there and try their veggie tacos to see if they belong on the list. What about living in chocolate pudding? That seems pretty awesome too.

Sorry, Jamey. She seems to know her Saint Louis restaurants. Also, I was under the impression that Canyon Cafe was not mexican food and was more of the "southwestern" persuasion. But that's just me. Word on the street is their veggie tacos are "thebomb.com." p.s. living in queso dip sounds great, but take it from someone with experience, it's not. People are always jamming chips into your face when you are trying to read or something. dreadful. I’m going to have to go with Grandma Fudge on this one. Sorry, Jamey.
