More Pork Steaks
And speaking of pork steaks, I don’t know how other parts of the county roll, but in Florissant, warm weather means fund raising barbecue events; the biggest of which always come from the Florissant Elks when they set up for an extended stay at the corner of Lindbergh and Charbonier in front of Sears Hardware.
Since Monday they’ve been setting up for the Florissant Valley of Flowers Festival weekend and this year I think they’ve started a day early. They will be cooking today Wednesday, April 30 to Sunday, May 4.
And they’re seriously not not messing around. They roll in a huge pit, fill it full of chopped wood, and have people tend to it all week through the day and night.

Ahh, another fond memory from growing up in St. Louis – pork steaks. You hardly ever see pork states in Boston. My parents used to own a barbecue place in Kinloch – The Pigs’ Inn – for a brief time and made barbecue ribs and pork steaks that I still recall.
I’ll call my sister who lives in Florissant and tell her to have a pork steak for me today.
