Saturday, we’ll have a panel discussion show with Evan Benn of the Post-Dispatch and Matt Sorrell of Ladue News Spicy Bits, Feast, Alive and other media outlets.
We’ll discuss a variety of food and beverage related topics, such as: Does the term “food porn” bother you? Toasted Ravioli—should it be celebrated or retired? What are the foods that you will not eat—not Zimmern weird, but things that are on menus? What’s the tastiest dish you’ve had in a restaurant—or from a food truck—lately?
If you’d like to call in with a question or comment, you can dial us up at 314-969-0590.
Kevin Nashan from Sidney Street Cafe is up first, right at 11:00 a.m.
Then Bill Kunz from Hiway 61 Roadhouse. He’ll talk about his place and about the S.L.O.B.S. barbeque competition, which takes place today at Keeton’s Double Play at 4944 Christy at Kingshighway.
Suzanne Corbett will join us in the third segment to talk about Fairs and Fair foods. Corn dogs, funnel cake and fried things on sticks!
Listen 11:00 a.m. to noon on 590, the Fan, KFNS. And via KFNS.com.

Angie Ortmann, who wears many hats, will talk about sharing her love of wine with others. How does a restaurant put together its wine list? We’ll ask the @STLwinegirl, as she is known on Twitter.
Al Carfagna of Mama Gusto’s is a personable guy who has brought his pizza (and other Italian food) to St. Louis. Mama Gusto’s has been a big success in Lebanon, Illinois and now is growing in popularity at 7700 Ivory.
