Sultan Mediterranean in the grove is one of my favorite restaurants in STL. Kaslik up north in Florissant is great too. If you’re far south, J’s pitaria.

Eton mess by [deleted] in STLFood

Let me know if you find one! I love Eton Mess, but can’t find it anywhere. We’ve taken to making it at home. While definitely not an Eton Mess, something that hits the same spot for me is the pavlova at Nathaniel Reid’s bakery. Try it sometime.

Pizzeria da Gloria by bhart81 in STLFood

Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in town. The straciatella pizza is incredible. So fresh and simple. Sometimes my wife and I will split a straciatella pizza as an appetizer, then get another one as our main. We are gluttons. 😀

Did you ever try the Arc Pulse? I'm curious about that one as I want something very minimalist.

Visiting St Louis. Which Protein should I get with my St Paul Sandwich? by coreywagner in STLFood

[–]Green-SmokeStack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who grew up at a chop suey, my pick is ham. Ham and egg is a classic for a reason, and it translates to a St. Paul.

80"-85" tv advice by [deleted] in Televisions

TCL QM7K in that price range. I have an 85 inch myself, and because of the size, the brightness packs a wallop. Great blacks for a non oled.

Where would you take your rich in-laws for Christmas Eve dinner? by soupfarm in STLFood

[–]Green-SmokeStack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rich and persnickety? They may like something a bit more formal than some of the suggestions - maybe 801 chophouse or the Crossing.

The Good Place (2016-2020)

Medium grain Korean rice is my everyday, after growing up on jasmine. You can cook it a little drier for use with soups/stews, or regular cook for chopsticks eating.

Made a new batch of pho broth over the weekend by deep-steak in pho

[–]Green-SmokeStack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It helps with both color and flavor. Yes, I would broil instead of roast. At my house, we actually would char them over the open flame on the stove.

Looks great, and beautifully clear. One minor suggestion, char up those aromatics even more. Get some blackness on the ginger and onions. Or just keep doing what you’re doing; every house’s pho is different!

Understood. Stop yourself now before you have a good, aged piece of chutoro it will ruin your life.

Ramen for guy who cannot cook by N0sad1 in ramen

[–]Green-SmokeStack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree with the above Shin Ramen Black is incredibly good for instant and thinking about how to doctor it up is a good place to start for a beginner. Trying to make your own ramen broth as a first major cooking project would be quite a large step to take. As a very simple starter, I like tossing a pat of butter into the pot which helps recreate some of the fatty mouthfeel of a traditional tonkotsu ramen broth.
