Lost Restaurants of St. Louis is here! Forty-eight now-gone St. Louis restaurants, including a few at the edge of the metropolitan area, are included. My editors asked for a very few long-lived existing places to eat, so three of those are included. And at the request of a number of people, there are some recipes from the late lamented eateries. There’s also a chapter on eating at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. Louis’ world fair of 1904, and there were some real eye-openers I found in my research.
I’m scheduling signings and such, and will keep the list of activities updated. Lost Restaurants of St. Louis will be available at area bookstores, of course.
And now, BREAKING NEWS! The book is in Barnes and Noble locally, and Amazon, despite what the web says, is delivering before Christmas. (But wouldn't you rather patronize local businesses?) Other places it's available, including two new spots:
World News in Clayton
Christopher's Home Accents in Kirkwood
and these places are getting it soon:
If you’re interested in ordering it by mail and want to use a local bookseller,here's a link to Left Bank Books.
Here's a link to the interview I did with Don Marsh on "St. Louis on the Air".
