I'm a native St. Louisan currently living in San Diego. The tacos are great here, but I miss all of the local cuisine you had just mentioned. I do get homesick.😢
I love the Hill was in one of the stores you showed, I an Italian & love the restaurants, knew u were at Urban Chestnut in the Grove, Sanctuaries & Sauce on the Side, a Cakzone place are great. The best Slingers, especially at 3AM on a Saturday morning are at The Courtesy Diner. The one thing that u different mention that is native to St Louis is the St Paul Sandwich from some of the Chinese restaurants, it's egg foo young on white bread with mayonnaise, lettuce , tomato & pickle, it's delicious. Thank you for your wonderful review of St Louis, it has so many nice places.
A lovely little video. We moved to outside St. Louis a couple years ago from Seattle and it's been tough finding foods that we like and I certainly got a few good tips from this video.
It's gross. The only thing unique about it is the Provel cheese, which does not taste good and also coats your teeth with a sticky film. Most disgusting pizza ever.
Like Mark Finley, Harriet and I have not been to St. Louis in a long time. We remember Fitz Root Beer and The Custard Ice Cream. Like you, we still like Mozzarella on our pizza. Jocelyn. We also remember eating at the ballpark (Busch Stadium). great food eats there. As always, great tips. Luv💖 ya you all. Jim and Harriet.
Thanks for giving St. Louis some favorable press, Jocelyn. I am a fan of Wolter’s World, but I didn’t know that you were from near St. Louis. I am a long time resident, and I would offer a few caveats, with which others may or may not agree. Ted Drewes is all that they say it is, and it is always very crowded, but the service is very fast. Highly recommended. Imo’s pizza is very popular here, but not everyone likes provel cheese. There are a lot of other wonderful pizzerias that offer alternatives. We do have a significant Italian community, and many fine Italian restaurants, not all of which are on “The Hill” (which is not really that hilly, BTW.) Toasted ravioli and gooey butter cake are overrated, as are Anheuser-Busch products (although A-B has indeed done a lot for the community). And the best barbecue can be found on street corners during summer months, sold by local clubs and churches. I have lived here almost all my life, but we do not refer to our town as “The Lou.” It’s ‘Saint Louis’ with an ‘s.’ And baseball and where we went to high school really are serious topics for discussion.
St. Louis provel cheese is a combination of cheddar, swiss and provolone cheeses developed as a super melty cheese without being stringy like mozzarella. It has a lot of flavor unlike moz
You should add Gus' Pretzels to your list. It's just across the highway from the AB Brewery and it's as iconic in St. Louis as they come. They are available frozen throughout the city and many convenience stores will have "fresh" ones for sale. But nothing like getting them fresh from where they are made. When I was a kid in the 70's, you could buy them in bags of 4 or 5 on many big intersections in the city. Vendors would come up to your car and you give them $1 and they give you a bag of pretzels. I remember going with my Dad to the original little place on Arsenal that they have since expanded significantly. I think they are on the 4th generation of this family owned business.
One thing I would add is pig snoots! Don't knock it til you try it...it is found at some BBQ places in STL. Also, in addition to Imo's, the best St. Louis-style pizza can be found at places like Frank and Helen's, Erio's and Pirrone's (however, these three are in St. Louis County but still!). Cool that you're from St. Louis! Had no idea
Interesting video. Haven't visited St. Louis since 2014, but we had great food. It was during a week with Cardinals home games, so my son and I visited a few sports bars together with lots and lots of Cardinals fans dressed in red 😀
So cool to see you guys do stuff in Missouri! I'm from Springfield, MO and love a good trip to St Louis or Kansas City. I would highly suggest a trip to the Springfield area or the Ozarks if your family hasn't checked it out!
It’s a great list because Wolters World company is from this region of the Midwest. The Midwest Missouri/Illinois area is their territory so they know this like the back of their hand
Nice video Jocelyn. The pizza looked wonderful and the Oweey gwewwy dessert looked fabulous. I did have some of the best ribs in downtown St.Louis myself and I am licking my chops now :).
Pretty good list. I saw the writing about pork steaks but didn’t hear about it, and definitely didn’t hear about snoots which are amazing. I love Crown Candy! I used to take all my new guys there. Such a great place. I love the mention of the great chef culture here. There is never a need to eat chain food. We have such great food here! U-city has amazing dumplings and Chinese food in general. Manchester has amazing Indian and general Asian food. Sedara Bakery just opened a new spot with savory options that’s AMAZING! We also have fantastic Balkan food here. When Alton Brown visited this year, he and his wife were shocked by the Balkan food. In a great way. We have a decent number of places to get really good cevapi, though the Balkan Treat Box is the most acclaimed. Usually I go the the Balkan Store and Bakery because I grab some groceries there as well. We also have a very decent Latin American food scene here. I’m not talking about mission taco. That’s ok, but there is no authenticity to it. Tasty. Well presented. I’m not going to say over expensive because they do work presenting premium ingredients. But I’d rather have an authentic cheap taco available from various places around here. Still, STL is a really fantastic food city. I’ve lived on four continents and been to a lot of places, and while I’d rather be in the mountains and the coast, the great food culture is one of the main redeeming qualities of St Louis.
I was just in St. Louis this past fall. One of the places I never miss is right outside of the city, and yes it's not specifically a St. Louis thing, but Cheeburger Cheeburger! I can only do the Serious burger, though my cardiologist wants me to try the Famous Pounder! They also have egg cream which has been the only place I've been able to find it outside of NYC. Oh, and when they're playing, even though they're our division rivals, I have to catch a Cards game and they have some pretty good chow at the ballpark as well! That being said: GO BREWERS!!! (Presuming we have a season this year.)
Well done. As a life-long resident I will attest you hit most people's 'to do' lists. Tommy Lasorda (RIP) when he came to town when he was the Dodger's manager, ALWAYS hit the hill. You know he knew where the good food was. Riggazi's (on the hill) had pics and jerseys of visiting players who stopped by. Pre-Covid Bissinger's used to let you do free tours at their production facility. Anheuser-Busch used to have free tours but since InBev took over, I don't think that's the case anymore sadly. Also, I agree there are small independent shops in the city limits, but you need to be careful and pay attention to your surroundings. You were in a group and many of your followers won't be. The city of St. Louis is no where near as safe as it was not that long ago.
Here in NYC we call that square pizza (with the crustless inner squares) Sicilian style or Grandma’s pizza (🤷♂️). And the main problem with the inner squares is the messiness - nothing to hold onto!
I was born and raised in stl. You are spot on! Watching this makes we want to hop in the car and head back to eat myself silly. 😄 And oh, the pork steaks. Living in other parts of the country through the years, I think I missed those the most. And yes, Dierberg’s! It was my go-to grocery. Thanks for the smiles Jocelyn!
Looking forward to try some of these. The food looks pretty awesome. My girlfriend and I might go to St Louis in October for Canadian Thanksgiving/ Columbus Day weekend. Neither one of us have been to St Louis or the state of Missouri. We have to admit, we are a bit concerned about the horror story crime issues we have heard about. Do you have any tips or suggestions regarding that? Did you feel unsafe at all? or does the media play alot of drama to once again make a good story which is what they do best? We are thinking of getting around most places by Uber or Lyft since we will only be in town for 2 or 3 days.
Hey Jonathan! You should totally come down to STL if you haven’t already. Keep an eye out for Airbnbs in Tower Grove South, Shaw, Soulard, and Central West End, as these are great places to stay for people visiting. Lots of things of do in each of those neighborhoods locally, but close enough to hop in a 5 min Uber and get downtown or to another area! St. Louis has its pockets of crime like any other city, but if you use common sense it’s usually no problem- especially if you are staying near larger attractions like Tower Grove Park, Forest Park, Soulard, etc. These are areas where lots of people will be out walking around enjoying their days, and there are attractions close by.
I love pizza and have lived in some of the country’s best places for it. I haven’t yet tried St. Louis-style pizza, though, and I’ve never heard of Provel, but I’d like to try it first with Provel to get a real sense of the local style.
Provel is a gut bomb. I’ve had my gallbladder removed so my body rejects it. 😅 Too much info, I know, but if you have a sensitive stomach, maybe don’t try it when you are out with a bunch of people. Just trying to save you some embarrassment. You can have Imo’s shipped to you anywhere in the continental US, though, if you’d like to try it in the privacy of your own home. 😉 It is listed for shipment on Goldbelly.
@@fiftyfive70 Ha! Warning fully appreciated! I doubt that I’m about to have pizza shipped across the country, but I am curious as to how that would work - at the very least in terms of temperature. The recipient has to re-heat in an oven, yes? Wouldn’t that affect taste quite a lot right there?
I know it's nothing fancy and looks pretty underwhelming but nobody seems to talk about the St. Paul sandwich. It's not bad honestly but I think more importantly it's truly a St. Louis dish. Maybe it's still too Asian for most people lol
The flavor of Provel isn't terrible, but I hated the texture. It stuck to my teeth with every bite! (Like a squeaky coating.) In high school when they had Imo's at every party and community function, I just walked on by. The toasted ravioli on the other hand, THAT has my heart. I learned how to make it just so I could eat it when I moved away.
I (Mark) love the toasted ravioli. The texture of the provel and it also seemed to burn my mouth 10 times more than normal pizza cheese was another thing.
As a Missourian, i will say that if you're going to try St Louis pizza, don't go to Imo's; it's overrated. Go to a more local pizzeria, even the pizzerias in my home town of Jefferson City do better St. Louis pizza than Imo's. Seriously tho, there are numerous pizza restaurants that make good St. Louis pizza, just avoid Imo's.
mam .... always wanted to tell u one thing u look like the india ( now american) actress preity zinta ... same face .... or it should be she looks like u yeh thats rite ... nice work .. u and ur husband great team..
Imo's pizza is overrated. So many other choices outside of the city: Farotto's, Nick & Elena's, Serra's, Farraci's, Pirrone's, and I really miss Luigi's.
There is no such thing as St Louis pizza!!!! It is a chemically produced cheese product, not cheese, on a saltine cracker. The recipe for the crust is available on line and it is an exact match to the recipe for saltine crackers. I wish all of the youtubers would stop promoting that stuff, it is terrible!!!
*Whispering*...I don't like provel cheese either. But I'm from the Metro East in Illinois so they can't kick me out for saying it. I'm close enough that I can still see the Gateway Arch from my town though. Where are my fellow Kahoks at? 💜🤍💜🤍💜 But about the provel...I'm just not a fan. First of all, when it is hot, it is like liquid magma and say adios to the skin on the roof of your mouth. But most notably, and excuse my crassness, but it is a major gut-bomb. Your gallbladder will not be happy with you. And if you've already had it removed? Forget it. Do not even attempt IMO's pizza if you are gallbladderless.
I thought about it and...well, I guess the provel kind of grows on you and tastes kind of good because it is tangy and weird and tastes better the more you eat it. BUT it makes you feel absolutely horrible afterwards. If someone can eat it and not get sick, then I am extremely impressed with their digestive system. I can see how if someone would love it if they are drunk. I mean, you'd feel horrible in the morning anyway, why not?
I've said for years that St. Louis is one of the most underrated cities that there is - especially when it comes to food. I love. St. Louis!!
I'm a native St. Louisan currently living in San Diego. The tacos are great here, but I miss all of the local cuisine you had just mentioned. I do get homesick.😢

We have a great food scene here in stl. Thanks for showcasing it.
I love the toasted raviolis.
I love the Dierbergs recipes! Forgot that I used to pick those up, frequently, but many of them have become family favorites.

Interesting,y enough, I think Urban Chestnut’s pizza is way better than IMO’s.
great video. I'm going to st Louis next week and I can't wait to try some of these.
I think you'll enjoy it!
Red Hot Riplet potato chips by Old Vienna
Good add
Wow! I wish my wife and I would've watched this before we went a few months ago. Love it!
Hopefully it can help for your next visit
@@WoltersWorldEats Definitely!
I would definetely like one of those Ted Drewes Frozen Custard!
Soo, so good.
Born and raised there and appreciate the reviews even though very superficial on all and downright wrong on a couple.
The cheesecake in Little Italy on The Hill. Nothing ever came close for me & that’s 70 years. I’d pay in gold for the recipe.

Cherokee Street between Gravois & Jefferson, also South Grand between Arsenal & Gravois.
Bissinger’s Chocolates has a good-sized location inside Plaza Frontenac in West County & their chocolate is THE BEST!👍
