I write-in McCray's BBQ, once located in Jeffery Plaza, Olive and Woodson. McCray's had the best BBQ in the World. Roscoe's Mobosco Sauce was a spicy awesome sauce. Roscoe is passed...and McCray's BBQ is lost victim of environment zealots because of the BBQ smoke. How I dream of the days the aroma of McCray's would drift through the neighborhood in the early afternoon.   more ›

Approach the Barbecue Season With Common Sense

Ladue's Fire Chief Ted Jury says safety requires good planning and execution.

The barbecuing season is upon us. That means think first and be careful. Ladue’s Fire Chief Ted Jury has caution for all the local outdoor grilling artists. The chief said fire incidents from cooking outdoors have been few and far between in Ladue. Most fires occur while trying to smoke meat on covered patios and decks in condominium and apartment complexes. Ladue has none of those. In fact, fire incidents in Ladue are counted in single digits yearly. However, it is much better to be safe than sorry. The first logical step is giving the grill a thorough and complete cleaning. Last year’s gunk and grease can be a problem and doesn’t enhance the taste of the product on the grill. Grease deposits often lead to flare-ups and fires. Jury  …

Pick Five Plus One in Frontenac and Ladue

Pastels, posies and Pujols, all signs that spring has sprung.

 People dressed in pastels, jonquils waving in the breeze, Albert Pujols in action – all sure signs that spring is here. Rain is on the way this week, though, so run through the raindrops to these happenings, something sure to elevate the spirits. Monday, April 4.

Lester's Goes for the Home Run

Sports and good food make Lester's Sports Bar and Grill a winner.

Walking into Lester’s Sports Bar & Grill, 9606 Clayton Rd., one knows that this is not an ordinary sports bar. Maybe it's walking by the statue of the iconic Stan Musial out front. Maybe it’s the 62 flat screen televisions that adorn the walls of the bar and restaurant area, including the ones over the urinals in the men’s room to insure no play goes unnoticed.  Built in 2007 by St. Louis entrepreneur Lester Miller, Lester’s could make a sports fan out of a non-believer, probably because no matter where one looks, there’s a game of some sort playing. Patrons might actually believe they are attending the Big Game.  A huge four-sided stadium-style scoreboard with score updates forms the center of the bar.  Booths in the dining room each …

Pete's Super Bowl Blog

Pete's Blog: Super Bowl XLV from Ozzie's: First Quarter

Live blog from Ozzie's, where Pittsburgh fans are converging to watch the big game.

-The crowd is massive here, at least 150 Steelers fans upstairs, and another 150-200 downstairs. It’s a sea of black and gold on the second floor, with big screens, and tons of adults as well as families decked out in their Steeler gear. -Christina Aguilera’s rendition of Star Spangled Banner just fired up the bar. Yeah, she oversang it, but we all knew she’d hold that last “Brave” for 10 seconds, and it didn’t matter. Good job on her end. -Steelers start with it, and don’t impress. The three-and-out doesn’t phase the upstairs though. Feels like we’re in the bleachers at Heinze Field, with chanting and stomping of feet. ‘Stomp, Stomp’ “DEFENSE!”. -My neighbors are Sharea, Martinique and Keta, and they are residents of North St. Louis who …
