Brunch: Hendel’s
It's a pilgrimage, or at least a road trip, for some of us to go up to Florissant. But the trip to Hendel's can be a good way to spend a Sunday midday. An interesting combination of busy – or at least popular – and relaxed, the brunch is very worthwhile. They don't take reservations

Grace Meat + Three
Hie thyself to Rick Lewis' Grace Meat + Three. Rick Lewis is doing great stuff. It's my current review in St. Louis Magazine. And a near-shouting endorsement of those chicken livers, the sort of dish that makes people say, "I thought I didn't like them, but this is great!"

Egg
A little musical chairswent on in 2016 with a couple of soutside spots. Spare No Rib moved from its Gravois location to my old stomping ground on South Jefferson, and its morning food operation stayed on Gravois, naming itself Egg. I finally got there not long ago, and was more than happy with what I

Brunch: Frazer’s
Recover from the rigors of Black Friday with brunch at Frazer's on Saturday. No outside dining this week, I'm sure, but it's nice and sunny to go with your mimosa. Here's what I said about it on the St. Louis Mag's Dining blog. And may all your turkeys be bright!

Flashback: Malmaison
The Guide Michelin describes a two-star restaurant as "worth a detour". Malmaison, in St. Alban's, was worthy of more than a detour. I wrote about it here. Am I the only one that remembers the aroma from the fireplace as well as the lovely garden?

Just One Bite: Whitebox Eatery
Nope. Not on the menu during the week. That’s the fried chicken biscuit at Whitebox Eatery that’s served for weekend brunch. “Bacon cheddar biscuit, apple jalapeno syrup,” said the menu board. I’m thinking a sandwich, yes? No. What came was three, count ‘em, three skinless, boneless breasts. That’s a concept that gives me pause right
