Sorry for the late and brief run down this week but I didn’t spend as much time at the markets last week as I usually do.
Maybe it’s a tough call, but I personally think the highlight was fennel. Probably a lot more people will pick the ...

In the better late than never file (because I was asking permission to use these pictures and didn't see I got the okay), here's Josh Galliano's spread at the James Beard House when he went a few weeks ago for the James Beard Awards banquet.
His dish was Braised Pork Belly ...

Last week, meaning June 11 at the markets, I forgot to mention that the Root Cellar had sugar snap peas.
For the real last week, however, as previously mentioned, I made it only to Maplewood as I was heading to Louisville for the weekend.
The big change was that ...

Illinois Times review of Niche from June 12, 2008.

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.

While you, like me, might feel that the only life scarier than an ovo-lacto vegetarian is the life of the dairy-less vegan, I am also not a diehard red-meat-loving Midwesterner and have always been interested in tasting what the best vegetarian-oriented spots in St. Louis have to offer.
