================================
 DD> I didn't reply in e-mail because it wasn't/isn't going to be possible
 DD> to get loose to meet even a hundred miles from Tin Can Central.

Problem was that I had a slew of e-mails go awry or awol
during that period and had to track each one down.

 ML> The Q places I got other recommendations for, in addition
 ML> to Pappy's and Bogarts, are Hendrick's and Sugarfire.
 DD> Sugarfire was mentioned by one person whose take was "don't go there
 DD> if you're a diabetic or planning on becoming one." I took it from her
 DD> comment that the sauces will put you into sugar shock

We were led astray by a guy at the Lewis and Clark interpretive
center who told us to visit Fast Eddie's, as it was only fifteen
minutes up the road. So we experienced a frat party instead of
good Q; by the time we hit Bogart's it was closed for the rest
of the weekend, and Pappy's was sold out of everything but beer.

We did get Hendrick's (artificially tenderized) and Sugarfire
(excellent meat but with sugar in the dry rub, which might have
been what your friend was referring to, and the sauces were in
fact bizarrely sweet). Also Hodak's, which had chicken that was
excellent in its first flush of heat but mediocre after.

 ML> I guess other parts of the world aren't so enlightened,
 ML> because the cheese ones dominate. I'm looking forward
 ML> to St. Louis.

Had decent meat ones at Schlafly's (mashed up pot roast meat
mixed with ground beef and romano) and at the Sheraton in
Clayton (ground sausage meat and romano, actually better).

 DD> I really miss to old Gaslight Square area. Last time I was in St.
 DD> Louis (several years ago) I wandered down Olive Boulevard and was
 DD> saddened/sickened to see a formerly vibrant entertainment district
 DD> looking like a ghost town - lacking only tumbleweeds blowing down the
 DD> centre of the avenue. The buildings, mostly anointed with gang-banger
 DD> graffitoes and in extreme decrepitude really got to me.

There are still vibrant parts of the city, but they're different
ones. Olive may be coming back, thanks to Slew, but you'll still
be disappointed if you return there in the near future.

This is a standard beef and onion stir-fry, but its name
is one such as your fevered imagination might have made up.
