Illinois Times review of Niche from June 12, 2008.
...a riff on a Reuben: rye gnocchi with pickled mustard seeds, horseradish, and house-corned meat. In less skilled hands this could have been a disaster - heavy gnocchi, overpowering condiments - but this was fabulous: light pillows with a distinctive rye taste ...

As previously mentioned, the coolest market happening last week was that Farrar Out Farm is now a regular vendor at Maplewood. I, at least, am glad to have them. I've known the name for years but rarely have the opportunity to get over to Kirkwood ...

I was just told KoKo Restaurant has closed by way of someone from the kitchen staff. Currently the answering machine is simply the standard no one available style message. More tomorrow as I (or someone with more time than I) find out more.

Because it's just too exciting to hold onto until next week, the big market news this week will surely be that Farrar Out Farm is now at Maplewood Farmers' Market. A lot of fingers can be uncrossed now.
I spoke to owners Bryan and Christina Truemper briefly about how things ...

In that I typically do this by Wednesday I dropped the ball this week. Thing is, overall at the markets I went to, there was little of new interest to see last week. It was the radishes and lettuces I'd seen before. There are obviously some turnips ...

Unfortunately over the weekend Julia Usher did not win the Food-Related Columns James Beard Award she was nominated for--meaning St. Louis will have to once again live vicariously through a Danny Meyer win. We can, however, rest a little easier with the knowledge that some of our own, in ...

Where can you get good food on a Monday?
It's a great question with few answers. But later this month the list will get another notch when Niche starts serving seven days a week.
June 16th is the day I've heard tossed around but I'm not sure if it was stone-set ...

practically duplicating my slowfoodstl.org post...
It was a long day of oppressive heat and ferocious winds that have left me too drained to really comment at the moment, but in the end the food was great, the hospitality was incredible, and we all walked away convinced that the Hillebrand's live on ...

Wednesday
This week at Maplewood Farmers' Market I made it in time to be one of those people that swept the Our Garden strawberries out from everyone. As I approached the booth there were ten pints and by the time I left the booth there was one. ...

Rumor has it that the Hillebrands have raised one grass-finished head of cattle which they will be selling this Saturday at Clayton Farmers' Market. Rumor also has it that they might be getting into beef next year which raises the question: will they only sell it at Clayton so as ...
