Seeking Burger with Cheddar "Cheese Spread" Topping - St. Louis
Sounds like Dooley's on 8th St. is where you guys used to go - right across the street from the old Post Office. Unfortunately it closed in '08.
Angostura Bitters - Where are they?
Just to clarify a couple points: Nelson's (the 'bitters bar') is not the only bar on the Island; there are three to five more, depending on seasonality and rotating ownership. And while a ferry is the only way to get there unless you have your own boat, it runs year round, just on a limited schedule in the winter. I worked a couple summers up there as the sous chef at the Washington Hotel. It is a lovely place, and I have an inkling I'll get back up to vist sometime this summer.
Strange Pairings that Taste Uncommonly Good
Schlitz and Stag beer pair shockingly well with a good pecorino-romano. I could barely believe it myself.
Historical Bartending?
I'm interested in learning more about the historical aspects of bartending and drinks from around the turn of the (last) century and around the era around prohibition. CHOW regularly covers that sort of thing, but I'm interested in going deeper and broader with my research.
Where to start?
