    St. Louis Dining Quirks

    We are obsessed with where everyone went to high school. We love to mispronounce street names and we refuse to call that concert venue in Maryland Heights anything other than “Riverport.” St. Louisans sure have their quirks, and the way we dine is no exception. In this episode, George and Cheryl explore the particular eccentricities of St. Louis restaurant-goers; from our insistence on easy parking to a penchant for large portions, they unpack our non-negotiables and proclivities to figure what makes our food scene so unique—and share which ones they are guilty of themselves.
