Otherwise, St. Louis isn't so much about a distinctive 'only here' cuisine. Probably the biggest thing is formal Italian, but it's just well done traditional dishes.
They've recently made inroads with Farm to Table stuff, but it's really recent, last 3-4 years at most.
St. Louis is more about doing traditional stuff very well than innovating.
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.
