Two areas where StL restaurants are being very aggressive right now are transplants as well.

Melding Memphis and KC BBQ, and Nashville Hot Chicken.

Not sure if you have any experience but I went through Memphis and was directed to Central BBQ it was heralded by many as *the* place to go everyone talking up their pork. Was a neat place but the meal was just "ok" I was sort of surprised. I actually have to pass through there again soon not sure if there is another place I should hit up or give Central another try.

Only actual Memphis Q I've had was Corky's by mail order once.

I'm referring to the stylistic merger. All of StL's Q titans are local creations.

No one's coming here from elsewhere to 'bring' Q to StL.

I just saw that for the first time but in Raleigh NC a few weeks ago. Now I see one where I live, but never noticed it before. So it has to be a chain.

Chicken, avocado, tortillas, pice...That's it. My pops still lives a couple blocks away, by the original location
I feel like every year and half or so here on chiefsplanet El Pollo Rey gets mentioned, and it's always the three of us raving about it.

Have not tried it but I will make a point to do so. I generally worship at the alter of El Camino Real.

Me too. First time I went to El Camino Real and saw the lady making tortillas by hand I cried.

For instance, there is a place down in Kimmswick that makes a broccoli cheese casserole that is a transcendent experience. You would put casserole and transcendent in the same sentence, . . . unless you'd been there.
I'm not sure if KC has the same "moguls" that St. Louis does as far as restaurants. Between David Bailey, Ben Poremba, the OG hospitality group, Kevin Nashan and Gerard Craft, there are some quality concepts there. But yeah, every time we go there, my foodie friend is always like, "So... BBQ is now a big thing in St. Louis." or "Chicken is now a big thing in St. Louis" or "Southern is now a big thing."

I've been really impressed with the St. Louis food/drink scene over the last 5 years or so. It seems to be experiencing quite a Renaissance.

Have you ever been to Blue Owl [the Kimmswick place I referred to]?

Would be interested in your take, given your previous stated tastes.

Their quiches and egg salad are religious experiences as well. Open-face roast beef, and fried chicken salad too.
Wish I had a bigger sweet tooth, to better judge their baked goods.

I've never been, but it looks pretty interesting. I'll have to run it by our crew next time we're up there (probably New Year's).

I had Interstate BBQ the one time I was there and thought the ribs were very good.
