The Friday Food Critic

Friday Food Critic: St. Louis Bread Company

We nominate a restaurant. You review it. That's right, you're the local expert—and we want to hear what you think.

When it comes to restaurants, Wentzville has it covered. We have some great local places that many would consider community gems; we have some restaurants that aren't exactly mom-and-pop but are unique to the area; and we certainly—for better or for worse—have plenty of chains lining our main streets. But what we don't have is a consistent food critic to tell us what's good and what's not.  That's where you come in. It's your community. You eat the food. You tell us if it passes the mark. That's why we have The Friday Food Critic column, where we put our local eateries on the chopping block. You tell us how you feel about it, what dishes are good, who has the best drink specials and so forth. This week's restaurant is St. Louis Bread …

We could throw some money at a professional food critic, but that's not exactly what Patch is all about. We'd much rather know the opinion of the fine folks that eat there day-in and day-out. It's your community. You eat the food. You tell us if it passes the mark. That's why we have The Friday Food Critic column, where each …

Food Adventures 101: Lake Saint Louis Patch's Newest Column

We'll explore the best of the best foodie finds, whether it's in your kitchen or a restaurant nearby.

Hello Lake Saint Louis, and welcome to our new food column!   At first glance, Lake Saint Louis may not seem to have much in the way of food adventures. After all, how many times can you go to Max & Erma's or BC's Kitchen (delicious as they may be), without getting bored? Well, I'm here to tell you it's time to think outside the bread box. Food Adventures 101 will serve to revive the foodie in you by offering a different kind of restaurant review - one that tells you where to find the 'Best Of' food and drink around town and nearby, even if that means it's in your very own kitchen. No one can say Lake Saint Louis lacks grocery stores, so each week I will include a recipe of something easy to make in the comfort of your own home that easily…
