Hi All!

Just joined the forum currently living in STL and originally from Iowa. I have been doing a ton of reading and figured I would join and start contributing. I've always been into detailing but pure hobbyist, never owned a DA , but also particular on handwashing cars(NOT auto car washes) unless its cold winter temps. Huge car guy, since I was a kid I have had a huge love for cars/trucks/anything with an engine. I've been doing repairs, modifications, and detailing for about 15 years now. I have a huge love for mainly american muscle but love any type of fast or cool vehicles/toys. I've pondered into boats/motorcycles a little bit too.

Awesome! Dogtown STL here. We received a Target order completely swapped from someone there last week, got a FB message from the one that received ours, it was weird since its 30-40 mins from us. Guess they swapped the scan tags, addresses read what they were supposed to
 
If you're in Dogtown head to Seamus McDaniel's on Tamm - best bar burger in St Louis.

Great burger! Love Pat Tavern's burger as well. I frequent Nora's, Hi Pointe, Seamus and sometimes Felixs. Love being able to walk to food and drinks when I feel like it

I'm not sure if I could choose between the two, both great! Mac's Tavern when they were in Tamm Ave bar.. those were amazing and I would say comparable to Hi Pointe's thin patty style. Wish they didn't move.
 
likewise, welcome...originally from the Lou myself.

Dogtown is a good area, Chewys Mexican (check it out if it is still around). been a few years since i have been in ht area, but there is a lot of fun stuff to do and enjoy.

Hi-Pointe is fancy/trendy burgers. Seamus is barfood - I'm a Dive or Dump kinda guy, so I go for the bar burger. And, I can never get a parking spot at Hi-Pointe.

My wife prefers Hi-Pointe. Go figure - she doesn't want to be in a place where your shoes stick to the floor.

True, my GF has a very strict diet and basically can eat only a salad at Seamus or I would go more. I try to convince friends to go there!

Hi Pointe parking - terrible, even with the curbside only it was a zoo. Its a little under a mile away and we will walk sometimes to avoid that issue

LOL at the shoes comment, their buffalo chicken sandwich is great and HUGE like the burger, also the pepper jack fried cheese sticks are to die for.

Thanks. Oh cool! Love it here, been here a little over 2 years.

I think Chewys is gone never heard of it and not coming up on a search, Chava's in Soulard is my favorite locally owned spot, then Rosalitas is my second choice
 
Soulard...Big Daddys steak sandwich
Soulard...Johhnys (Lunch)
Soulard...Broadway Oyster bar
Dont Rule out Venice Cafe ( Cool Place)

Thanks! Will add them to the list, love all the food STL has to offer, WAY more than other places I have lived. The amount of BBQ is overwhelming and its a good thing haha
 
For BBQ, the big names (Pappy's, SugarFire and Dalie's) are winners. Me? I LOVE the Texas Hot sauce at Sugarfire. It's the best sauce I've found, and it's spectacular on turkey. Smokey Mo's is owned by the Imo's of pizza fame. They're just south, in Arnold.

Soulard - my favorite is McGurk's.

Geez, now I'm hungry. Too bad my wife says we're still social distancing.

YES Sugarfire and Pappys! I'll have to try that hot BBQ at Sugarfire. Dalie's is my most recent discovery.. WOW @ the fried fire and ice pickles, didn't expect that. Smokey Mo's is also added to my list of to try

Adam's Smokehouse (lunch today!) is my favorite hidden gem, went there today, Bogarts is incredible as well, depends my mood and the sides I want for all of these choices

I've only had McGurks food once, very good. I've drank there a few times, amazing outdoor area.

We are social distancing too, but curbside and pickup happens a few times a week

If I still lived down there, I'd be about 400 pounds. Between all the good places mentioned, and pretty much everything on the Hill I'd be constantly eating.
