Saint Louis, Missouri

In 1804, Lewis and Clark began their great journey west from a then mostly French-inhabited city, St. Louis. Today, the city that launched the Corps of Discovery is known as the “Gateway to the West.” In addition to being a big brewery town, St. Louis boasts a couple unique takes on ethnic cuisine: the deep-fried ravioli and the St. Paul sandwich. Don’t be fooled by the name, which would seem to imply a Minnesota connection, the St. Paul is all St. Louis. Found at local Chinese restaurants, it consists of deep-fried egg foo young served on white bread topped with pickles, mayo, lettuce, and tomato. Traditional French food is offered up at Café de France near the Old Cathedral, built by the French in the 1700s. Recent immigration includes Bosnians, who are lending a new flavor to an ethnic culinary scene long dominated by Germans, Italians and French. These days, Bosnian restaurants serve up specialties like palacinke, crepe-like creations served with chocolate sauce and whipped cream.

The Best Vegetarian Chili in the World

Reviewed on Dec. 2, 2008 by CFUCHSLAO
Very good. I wish I had all the ingredients on hand, but despite this, the chili came out great. What I was missing: green pepper, fresh jalapeno, chili powder and veg. meat. First, after reading many reviews, I halved the recipe. Still a lot of food for 4 people. Changes: I cut up 13 Little Smokies, and three pieces of bacon and sauteed that with the 1/4 of an onion and 3 small celery stalks. I added the spices along with paprika, parsley and chives. Then I added a small can of mushrooms. Then I added the entire can of green chili's (no draining). Con't to saute. Then I added an entire can of garbanzo beans (I do not care for kidney beans), 1/4 can of red kidney and 1/2 can of black beans. Made my own chili spice, (can look up on the web) and added jalapeno flakes (very few) and some red pepper too. Also added 1 can of diced tomatoes and 1 small can of tomato sauce, 1/2 cup of water and a couple tbs of red wine. Thank you for sharing this recipe!!

Kris' Lentil Sausage Soup

Reviewed on Dec. 2, 2008 by Beth in St. Louis
This recipe was full of flavor, hearty, and just right for a cold wintry night! Thanks for sharing, Kris. For those who think there's not enough flavor, try using a smokier polska kielbasa -- I happened to have gotten ahold of some wedding kielbasy from www.andysdeli.com and it released a LOT of flavor into the soup. I rarely give 5 stars to any recipe, but this one is outstanding!
