In regards to the forum, you were right!
So, um, yeah, I had no idea the forum would take off like that.
In basically three weeks 47 people have posted 835 articles, and while a nice chunk are from only four of us (and you know who you are), we have everything from magazine editors, to a wine rep, to local chefs.
This morning, one of them who we will call Josh Galliano, walked away with the award for greatest post (by about twenty fold) in this thread about offal. One of Josh’s tasting menus at the moment is completely comprised of offal like cockscombs and honeycomb tripe, and he took pictures of a lot of it to not only explain to us what he’s up to, but show us as well.
The pic above is actually beef hearts from American Grass Fed Beef, and it’s An American Place’s amuse for the weekend. I don’t know which I like more, that they’re getting away with serving beef heart, or the fact that he titled the pic “two hearts” and I can’t stop laughing because of that goofy eighties song.
So thank you everyone for posting and showing me that there is a core group of people in St. Louis that get it. I’ve never been more proud to live in St. Louis.

Hey, I’m fifth, and I have double the posts of the next person.
I made it to Atlas tonight, I’ll say more tomorrow, but I was both impressed and disappointed.

—I meant to also add that I have less than half of the posts than the poster ahead of me as well.

And if that doesn’t get your heart thumping, Valentine’s Day coming soon, too!

I’m pulling up as second….right on. Simon thinks I’m addicted. I guess I am! I can’t believe how much I’ve learned since this forum was created. Thanks for managing it Bill!!
