Olive Street Smokehouse

Long time admin, first time poster :) We have discovered this new little hole in the wall smokehouse in Creve Coeur near my office....The Olive Street Smokehouse (1227 Castillion Arcade Plaza). We came across this little gem one morning when we were shockingly hungry and it was hot outside! Added bonus, they deliver! While I will admit I haven't sampled much on the menu, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad and the potato salad. My co-workers would highly recommend anything that has the pulled pork on it. They have a nice variety of sauces to help spice up your meal.

It is definiltely moderately priced and delicious!!! Try it and let me know what you think. The menu isn't huge but the portions are a great size!

Gillio's Pizza

Don't worry.  I'm still alive.  It's only been two months since my last post! Tisk.  Tisk.

Onto more important business.. like eating your feelings.

I was feeling FABULOUS Friday night, so I ate my WHOLE half of pizza.  That's right.  WHOLE.  HALF.  Gillio's Pizza is family owned and offers a variety of goodies.  I can't tell you what they are, because I've only had pizza.  And I've never had to make the order myself.  Wes usually calls before to order, so I never even have to look at the menu.  So, I'm serious about not knowing what else they have.  Wait, I have seen a calzone before!  So, we know they have pizza and calzone.

Just go.  You won't be disappointed.

Washington DC Eats!

Hi! I just got back from DC!

We grabbed cupcakes at Georgetown Cupcake (Possibly better recognized as DC Cupcakes, as in the show on TLC). They were amazing! I'm not just saying that. They were fabulous! Perfect size and everything! I had chocolate banana (cake comes first, so chocolate cake, banana icing) and it was TO DIE FOR! Roommates had milk chocolate birthday and vanilla chocolate.

We grabbed Mexican on Capitol Hill, don't know the spot, but if you're interested... I will find out! It was delish!

Lunched at Ollie's Trolley, famous for their french fries aka "Olliefries." We all had some, some said too many spices. I loved them! We all also had burgers. They were totally amazing!

Got dressed up for dinner at Tabard Inn, that was a treat! I had the crab cake, it was ridiculously delicious. Wes had sirloin, I think? It was ridiculously delicious. Katie had pasta with ragu and goat meat, also ridiculously delicious. Allie had curried macadamia encrusted flounder, also ridiculously delicious. Matt had quail, lamb and rabbit sausage. I only tried the quail from his smorgasbord, and whadda ya know.. also ridiculously delicious. Today's lesson: Go eat at Tabard Inn.

Had pizza at Bugsy's in Old Alexandria. Pizza was great! We branched out and had deep dish, the "thin crust" appeared to be more like hand tossed. Not like the St. Louis thin crust we're used to.

Also, while you're in DC, get a hot dog off the street. Careful, they're hot!... as in spicy!

Eleven Eleven Mississippi, Red Robin (Yum!)

Happy Tuesday after Memorial Day Weekend!

Friday, Wes and I went back to Eleven Eleven Mississippi. This time I had their house dressing on my starter salad. It's so freakin' good! The house dressing is a strawberry vinigariette and it is awesome! For dinner I had the appetizer crab cakes. They, too, were delish! And then, gooey butter cake for dessert. Again, amazing. Wes had the bacon wrapped tenderloin, def better than my crab cakes. He always gets better food.

Have you been yet?

Mom, Dad, and I ate at Red Robin after golf yesterday. I was starving. So, naturally, I inhaled my food. I had the turkey burker and paid an extra 79 cents for sweet potato fries instead of steak fries. Best decision of the weekend. They were SO good! I even got a refill. Yes, sweet potato fries are bottomless, too! The turkey burger was superb. Turkey had great flavor and was perfectly cooked.

Palmer's Deli

Over the weekend, I was at Palmer's Deli again. This time I had the egg salad. It's not better than the chicken salad. I also had a chocolate chip cookie, it was amazing, as usual! Mom and Mary had Greek salads, they looked wonderful! But I didn't have any. And Emily had the egg salad, too. Mom and Mary had molasses cookies, they were drooling. Em had the biggest rice krispie treat you'll ever see. She giggled with delight as she ate it. I'm just kidding, but it's that good. Mom and Mary weren't drooling either. The rest of our food was home made! You gotta go to Mary Alice's house to get it. Sorry 'bout your luck.

Speaking of Chicken Salad, Mary Alice holds title to JESSICA'S FAVORITE CHICKEN SALAD. And I'm not just saying that because she's about to read this. I think I had three sandwiches!

TGI Fridays

HEY-OH!

Last night my bf took me to TGI Friday's for din-din. It was yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmyyy! We ordered a surf-n-turf with some type of meat for him, and salmon for me. We ordered one of those appetizer and entre things for $16.99 or $19.99. Know what I'm talkin' bout? We got fried green beans for our app, so delicious, the best out there! And with our meal came two sides. I got broccoli, Wes got steak fries. Only downside, Wes got exactly six steak fries, and I got a whole forest of broccoli. Otherwise, the meat was awesome! I very much like Friday's. I prefer their not-so-good-for-you food, like the Friday's Tostado Nachos. AMAZING!

This weekend I'm headed to Iowa. I can't wait to go to Palmer's, hopefully more than once. Oh, and see my family.

Have I Mentioned The Sports Attic?

The Sports Attic in Brentwood is amazing! Here's the address:

8212 Manchester Rd.
Saint Louis, MO 63144

I know Saturday nights are karaoke, I'm pretty sure Friday nights, too. Anyway, food is awesome! So far our favorites are the quesadilla, french fries, potato skins and buffalo chicken salad. Atmosphere is awesome, too. A local sports bar, kind of dive-y, but caters to all ages.

Go soon.

Happy Eating!
