Our homemade guacamole has been perfected over the years and remains a constant in our rotation of classic family recipes. Neil enjoys a more smooth guac while Whitney prefers chunky. You can customize this one to meet your needs- if you like more onion, add more. If you don’t want cilanto, leave it out. It’s kind of a choose-your-own adventure recipe, and it will always end well.

We always look forward to fresh, seasonal produce as spring approaches. This year, we’ve partnered with Eckert’s Farms to create an original recipe featuring their new crop of homegrown asparagus.
One of our favorite new spots in town is Side Project Brewing. Yes, it’s been around for quite a while, but we have recently rediscovered the space not only as somewhere to get high-quality craft beers, but also some of the best “bar food” we’ve had in St. Louis. Executive chef Adam Altnether, formerly of Niche Food Group, Elmwood, Pizza Champ, and Burger Champ, has created a menu that amplifies American fare to a whole new level. They recently invited us to try their new food menu, and we are so thankful they did and that we can share with you some of our favorite items from our visit.
The hype is real. Telva at The Ridge is fantastic. Of course, we’d expect no less from the Nalic family (of Balkan Treat Box fame). Located within the expansive Rolling Ridge Nursery building in Webster Groves, Telva serves Balkan coffee, pastries, and other dishes for breakfast and lunch.
Ahh, March in St. Louis. The Cardinals are back on KMOX. Dogtown is preparing for St. Patty’s celebrations. And yes, it’s fish fry season. There are an uncanny amount of restaurants serving fish specials this season, not to mention the traditional Lenten fish fry at your neighborhood parish.
We made a map this year highlighting the locations of both the restaurant and church fish so you can find fish dishes close to your house or explore new ones in a different part of down. BUT, you can’t always eat out. You just can’t.
Disclosure: We received a complimentary stay at 21c Museum Hotel St. Louis and dinner at Idol Wolf in exchange for social media promotion.
St. Louis has so many unique, wonderful places and it’s fun to be a tourist in your own town sometimes. Our weekend away was unforgettable.
