About This Blog

Hello all Saint Louis food lovers! Welcome to my blog. Why am I starting this blog you say? It could be any number of reasons.

It could be that I've just started my own law firm and I have more time on my hands than I know what to do with which you can find out about at http://www.christopherleelawoffices.com/ (shameless plug).

It could be that I've read one too many yelp reviews where the phrase "the best ever" or "amazing" or "incredible" was used just a little to liberally and upon arriving at the restaurant, I found the food to be none of those.

It could be that there are just so many amazing places in Saint Louis that need to be experienced which a shocking number of people know nothing about.

But I think that's it's simply because I love food and I want to catalog my food experiences for my own future prosperity so when I'm old and senile I can regale and bore my grandchildren with stories of the wonderful places I've been to eat.

The last thing you'll need to know is my rating scale. I've decided on a simple 5 star scale with .5 gradations allowed.

1 Star - The absolute worst of the worst. As if the place has never cooked food before. I expect this to apply a lot to fast food restaurants.

2 Stars - A restaurant that's not advisable to return to. Maybe it was the service, the ambiance, the price, or something else, but this is a place I will likely never be returning.

3 Stars - Average food at its best. The food was probably perfectly edible, the restaurant was fine, but it just didn't wow.

4 Stars - Now we're getting there. These restaurants won't always be rated 4 stars on food. Maybe the entire comprehensive experience was just sublime. Still, it just misses the mark.

5 Stars - A rare honor. Off the top of my head I can think of  3 places that qualify (Annie Gunn's steakhouse, Urasawa on Rodeo Drive,  and a small seafood diner in the Virgin Islands with the best curried lobster in the world.
