St Louis MO Recommendations
I'll be flying in from Los Angeles on Sept 5th for the Tour of Missouri and would love some suggestions while I'm in town! Any recs for along the route would be most welcomed too...
Group dinner in Davis - must have pasta option [moved from San Francisco Bay Area board]
Thanks for the suggestions! In an attempt to be sensitive to the budgets of the majority, I'll probably have to be satisfied with generic Italian food for dinner. But, I'm really looking forward to checking out Putah Creek Cafe on Sunday.
Also, thanks melly for turning me on to VanillaGarlic. Great blog and I'll have to try some of the cupcake recipes!

If we forego the customary "group" breakfast on Sunday, then a trip to Winters would be a fun change. We've probably eaten at Cafe Bernardo for the past five years in a row. Winters would work especially well if we decide to return to So. Cal via San Francisco, and a decadent Sunday evening at the Slanted Door or some other noteworthy indulgence. Riding two hundred miles justifies eating ridiculous amounts for a couple of days!

Thanks, Mudster, I just finished checking out the Davis Wiki site. It was a great resource both for my dining needs and something to share with a co-worker whose son will be attending UCD next year!
I have to agree that Seasons is a step above any of the other options. Typically I have to be more conscious of the price when coordinating dinner for a group. But, I don't think their menu is unreasonably priced, especially for the quality.
Where's your favorite breakfast spot? The day after the ride we're REALLY hungry!

I organize a group dinner for about 12 people the evening before the Davis Double Century bike ride, which is next weekend. We've traditionally gone to Strings on Covell because it has pasta for those that do carbs before bike rides, the price is reasonable and the location and parking are both convenient. But, I'm always looking for an opportunity to try somewhere new!
After the event, and with a much smaller group, we've enjoyed going to Season's or Cafe Bernardo for dinner and then Ciocolat for dessert. Breakfast on Sunday is usually either Cafe Bernardo or Crepeville.
Not being from the Davis area, I would greatly appreciate suggestions for any other dining recommendations!
