Now that the first Food Talk STL show has happened, it’s time to look ahead.
On our 2/11 show, an old radio friend, Joy Grdnic, is scheduled to visit. She is the owner of The Fountain on Locust. Nate Selsor, a bartender at Monarch, is on the agenda. And John Johnson, chef for Lumiere Place, is coming by to chat about his participation in St. Louis Mardi Gras.
I plan to share some newsy notes during each show—tidbits from the local food scene, including events and activities.
There are so many things going on for local diners, drinkers (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), food shoppers and cooks. On Food Talk STL, I’ll try to touch on many areas of interest. Thanks for listening!
