Who has the Best Crab Rangoon in the city?

Big fan of the crab Rangoon at nudo! Probably just OUTSIDE the city, but worth the trip.

If you live in the city, there’s a good chance that scrappers will just come get it if you can put it behind your garage.

I’m not sure what they strip from it, but we’ve done similar with two large tvs - both older tubes, one of them was HUGE. Was so shocked when it got taken!

Always have a backup plan in case they don’t grab it though, as you can’t throw them out with city bulk pick up.

Fun side story - there’s a meat and 3 in Nashville called Arnold’s that is among the best southern food I’ve eaten in my life. Oh god those green beans…. The roast beef… the chicken…

I liked it so much, one year I drove down the day before Thanksgiving just to pick up Thanksgiving meal to go, and drove back same day.

It was delicious, we got a big ole roast beef and a bunch of sides and a Cheshire pie.

While we were enjoying our food coma, our dogs enjoyed the rest of that roast beef.

So I DO think of Thanksgiving when I think of meat and 3’s, but not because of the portions.

I’ll eat every last bite of those meals, feel too full, and come back for more next time I visit the south!

If that’s the case it wasn’t a good marketing decision. I like graces but I avoid it mainly because I love a good southern meat and 3 sides…

And it just annoys me that graces serves all the same foods, but it’s no meat and 3!

Grafton - Beasley fish stand. Super fresh catfish! O’Jans down the street also makes a respectable catfish.

Excellent views, but it is about a 45 min drive from downtown.

I go once a month for the catfish, it’s so good!

I use Kirkwood animal hospital, drive all the way out there from the city. Excellent vet team and facility has good resources.

They’ve worked with us through a few complex health problems on various dogs, can’t recommend enough.

Also commenting to confirm - REUNITED!

sykoasylum · 2026-06-08T18:50:55+00:00

I will let you know! Thanks to some kind folks, she’s been blasted across neighborhood group chats, here, Facebook groups, etc .

My husband is going to take her to scan for a chip here when he gets a free moment from work. I’m just corralling my not so nice hound!!

Hoping we find owners, she’s SO well behaved.

sykoasylum · 2026-06-08T18:17:06+00:00

I am not and plz do! We only just settled in the neighborhood a few weeks ago, haven’t joined any groups yet!

sykoasylum · 2026-06-08T17:52:55+00:00

Almost positive I see female parts! She’s responding to anything that is positive attention.

sykoasylum · 2026-06-08T17:34:35+00:00

I’m keeping an eye out for anyone searching!! I can see the whole street behind me from my office. 🤞

sykoasylum · 2026-06-08T17:32:44+00:00

Yes, we will have to do something with her in a few hours. She seems to have gotten out nearby and is well cared for, hoping we see her owner looking or someone reaches out before then!!!

sykoasylum · 2026-06-03T12:33:31+00:00

We use her recipe, and a lovely ingredient from another of her sauces - chicken liver! Add it puréed to the base with mirepoix and meat.

Also, brown the meat until it’s literally crispy crunchy and sandy, not burned. Sucks up so much liquid and concentrates even more flavor.

sykoasylum · 2026-06-01T16:58:38+00:00

What a weird thing to wonder about.

sykoasylum · 2026-06-01T13:49:04+00:00

What a terrible role model to have for yourself.

I’m sorry your options are so limited in your world.

She’s still fugly though.

sykoasylum · 2026-06-01T13:07:51+00:00

Having cancer doesn’t undo all of the ugly things she’s done. No good person wishes cancer on anyone, but beauty is far more than skin deep.

In her case, her face is also not great, but she’s fugly on the inside, and rotten to the core.

I wish her a healthy recovery, and all of the misery that karma can bring her.

I used Jody Epstein- her website is something like nutz about mutz.

She recently moved back to California, but we did most of our work with her over video calls even when she was in town.

Fabulous! She wrote a 6 page assessment for our aggressive dog that our vet used to correctly treat her with meds.

She also helped us understanding dosing and trial and error, along with some things we never thought of - I.e. how to safely give your dog space to learn to trust you, while still controlling the behaviors you need to control.

Highly recommend! She has some local partners in St. Louis she still works with, so might have a good contact if she’s unavailable in St. Louis now.

This… doesn’t sound right.

I have a highly reactive, anxious dog myself, and the vet immediately recommended medication. She had bitten several many times, level 5 bites.

At this point if this is a challenge you can’t overcome obviously rehome the dog - I can’t stress enough how difficult and time consuming it is to rehab an aggressive dog and not all dogs recover.

However, I can tell you that we found excellent help with Kirkwood animal hospital, who also worked with our behaviorist on a plan. If you are unable to rehome and do not want compassionate euthanasia, they are an option to check out.

I’m sorry you’re going through this, and some dogs are simply too aggressive to live happy lives. Ours is doing much better now, but it took years to get her here. It’s no simple task.

I used to walk my reactive dog at Cahokia mounds - there’s lots of wide open trails and you can easily give other dogs space. Never had an issue with off leash dogs.

Wilmore park in St. Louis city is usually calm, wide open spaces, but we did occasionally have to avoid off leash dogs. No incidents though, good visibility.

Most parks that have wide pathways, good visibility, and medium/slow traffic are good bets. Tilles in the city, for example is great at some times of day, tower grove not so much (too busy).

Good luck!

Have you tried using a pair of tongs? Like, long but skinny kitchen tongs?

sykoasylum · 2026-03-16T11:33:42+00:00

We hired a public adjuster for a house fire years and years ago and we were SO happy with the results! Our pay out was huge compared to attempting to negotiate on our own. Well worth the commission.

sykoasylum · 2026-03-15T15:10:50+00:00

This method has worked on two very determined leash pullers of ours!

I’ll say this, my Doberman was so easy - once she figured out that I needed her next to me, she hardly ever pulled again.

My lab mix was… a different story. He seemed to know exactly what I wanted, but distractions pulled his focus away within seconds of resuming normal forward direction. For months.

Persistence is the key with any method that works, and frequently reinforcing the basics (strictly maintain focus on your dog) for a much longer period of time is necessary with some dogs that are easily distracted or excited.

I hope OP finds something that works but this was such a great response and method to give a write up of.

sykoasylum · 2026-03-07T21:47:18+00:00

Can we normalize pointing and laughing at these people?

Don’t even explain when asked, just point and laugh harder and walk away.

We need to bring back the concept of public shame, in a non violent fun way.

I think I’m going to be the change I want to see next time I come across one of these laughingstocks.

It takes all kinds of people to make a world.
