One of the things we like most about being food bloggers is getting to meet the people behind the food. Chefs, bartenders, and culinary creatives throughout St. Louis have captivating stories about how their restaurant began, how they ended up in St. Louis, and what inspires them. We’ve met some really cool people through The Newlywed Chefs and we think you should have the opportunity to meet them as well. So, we’ve made it a point to include more interviews in our posts, featured under the “St. Louis // Who to Know & Where to Go” tab. Our hope is that knowing the people behind the dishes can make your restaurant experience more meaningful and personal.
Tani Sushi Bistro has been in Clayton for TEN years now and continues to deliver the highest quality products to its customers. Husband and wife team Eric and Jenny Heckman have poured their hearts into this place, and it shows. Eric was gracious enough to sit down with us and chat about Tani. He even was super patient when I realized that my camera battery was still charging on the wall and Neil had to run home and get it. They’re great people with a great story producing great food in a great part of town. Enjoy!
