Bottomless Bloody Mary bar @ Cielo
Full disclosure. Bloodies are not my thing and we did not indulge. Style points alone for variety and presentation. Seemingly all food groups represented. Flavored ice cubes? Maybe I should've!
Pizza @ PW Pizza
PW Pizza. I think this is the best crust in STL. At once crisp and tender. Toppings and dough do not become one but compliment each other. I'm a homer but this is not STL style pizza. I love that PW will combine any two varieties onto a crust. Pictured: BBQ chicken and Classic Pepperoni.

Buttermilk cake, sour milk jam, and cherries poached in gin @ Brad's house
This dessert was featured recently in Bon Appetit, plucked from an LA restaurant named best new in the country. The beauty of this recipe is you make each component as if it were a standalone and assemble when you are ready to serve. Each component can be made two to three days ahead-brilliant!
The buttemilk cake is more savory than sweet. Add to the cake dollops of the ”jam”, which is a sweetened up creme fraiche, plus the gin poached dried cherry garnish are a threesome I'm calling menage a delicious!

Sweet and Sour Chicken done right
Sweet and Sour without that gloppy sauce a Chinese restaurant would serve. The kitchen does not let the sauces overwhelm the proteins and the vegetables were brilliant in fresh vibrant colors and crunch
Pad Thai @ Basil Spice
Two kinds of.noodles, shrimp and tofu....lotsa crushed peanuts....heating the leftovers for round two @ home now
Thai @Basil Spice
BasilSpice on S Grand nuances the flavors you expect distinguishing themselves from the pack. This soup looks benign but full of flavor and not too rich despite the coconut milk base
