Oh, OK.

I think Pappy's and Bogart's cook a certain amount each day and when it's gone,
they're done. Sort of makes sense as good Q takes a lot of waiting time ...
unlike a rare hamburger.

I think Sheila was talking more about the sauces being uber sweet. I've not
been to any of the places that I recommended on the strength of other's advice.
But Popeyes chicken is hard to beat. I will be going to my local to pick up 4
of their Tuesday specials (leg & thigh - U$1.29) for U$5.60 out the door. I'll
have the legs for dinner and make a couple meals later in the week from the
thighs. Helluva deal.
 
 ML> I guess other parts of the world aren't so enlightened,

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

Was that the Tap Room on Locust or the Bottleworks out in Maplewood?
 
 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.

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

I understand that the Gaslight Square area has been bought by someone and is
being uber-yuppiefied and flogged as upscale apartments/condos/townhouses. FEH!
Bring back the Tiger's Den, The Whiskey A-Go-Go, and Singleton Palmer's ... and
especially Jack and Charlie's 2c Plain.
