World’s Fair Ice Cream Cones
And speaking of road trips, here's something from a trip to Virginia last month. Yes, that's our World's fair. It's from St. Louis Magazine's food blog Relish.

Breakfast in Kansas City
Once upon a time I didn't like breakfast, didn't eat breakfast except rarely and had nothing to say about it except to hit the snooze alarm. Then my very first editor told me I was going to be writing a column about breakfasts at restaurants. One begins to remember the old W.C. Fields line, "It

The cozy-feeling former residence, now expanded, with its amiably wacky decor, a hallmark of Tim Mallett's Great Restaurants group, now gives us Sunday brunch, a nice stop before a Sunday matinee, or any other activity that's
