Saint Louis’ First and Best Food Tours!

The team behind Savor Saint Louis is dedicated to bringing you the best food touring experience possible in Saint Louis, with a walk through one some of our town’s most premier, cosmopolitan areas: the Central West End, the Delmar Loop and now, Downtown!

Savor Saint Louis is brought to you by the Smith family, owners and operators of one of Saint Louis’ most-beloved corner taverns and restaurants, The Royale Food & Spirits, now in its tenth year of operation. Winning popular and critical acclaim since its opening, The Royale is a true corner tavern, with a loyal following, brought in by the convivial service, excellent drink menu and exceptional pub fare. When looking for restaurants with whom to work on this projects, many of the same qualities were sought in our partners and we feel we’ve brought together an exceptional group of independently-owned business, all of whom meet our standards.

Meet The Founders

Susie smith.

A former flight attendant, who loves exploring different cities, their farmers markets and restaurants, Susie calls Saint Louis home. Giving tours is second nature to her in that she served as a docent at the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio in Chicago and the Chatillon-DeMenil House in Saint Louis. She takes cooking classes, enjoys preparing unique family meals and will never pass up an opportunity to eat out and explore the cuisines of her fair city.

Jennifer (Smith) Schmid

An avid lover of food, family and Saint Louis, Jennifer loves to find the newest culinary hotspots in the city and enjoy them with her family – so a family owned and operated food tour business was a natural next step for her. When not exploring the next food tour-worthy venue, Jennifer works in the advertising industry and is a full-time mother to Chloe and Cooper – both up-and-coming foodies of the future.

Steven Smith

Steven was raised and educated in Saint Louis, Missouri. He started in the food business busing and running the dish washer at the tender age of 13 and went on to work as a waiter and bartender. During college, he gave custom tours of Saint Louis to visiting dignitaries and eventually started his own underground tour business. He has combined both of his favorite activities and now runs a bar and restaurant in South Saint Louis. A true fan of the city, he enjoys showing visitors what he loves about it.

Patrick Smith

Patrick, the patriarch of the Smith family, plays the critical role of accountant in the food tour operation. Providing sound financial advice and always making sure our staff and partners are paid on time, we appreciate all of his hard work. We also appreciate that he will eat all of our leftovers during family meals.

Meet The Team and Tour Guides!

We are lucky to have a team of supremely talented tour guides who would love to share their foodie knowledge with you.

Carrie Zukoski

As someone who’s been lucky enough to travel around the globe, I always come back home to Saint Louis. I love showing it off to others, whether that’s well known or not so well known places.

Anna Cardot

I’m always energized by all Saint Louis has to offer – from the rich history to the vibrant food scene. If you don’t see me exploring the neighborhood, I’m out riding my bike or trying new recipes!

Amanda Doyle

Originally from Memphis, Amanda loves sampling St. Louis foodie fare with her family (she’s partial to grits). She also used to be a tour guide for a docked Antarctic Research Vessel docked in Oregon!

Vinnie Schneider

I love supporting the STL food scene and the thriving community of small businesses. Our tours let me do both! When I’m not eating my way through town, I’m probably listening to live music somewhere.

Beverly Hacker

I’m a native St. Louisan who never misses a chance to show off my city. My background is in accounting and public media. Now I do architectural tours and food tours which let me brag about St. Louis.

Tracey LaRiccia

I’ve lived my whole life in St. Louis but never tire of playing “hometown tourist.” The city offers so much culture (and such great eats!) and I love to share that with people.

• Sheri T 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Not worth the money NOT worth the cost!! It is disappointing when the way the tour reads and the reality do not match. We do tours in every city or country we travel to - this was the worst experience we have encountered. I want to be clear that the tour guide was charming, but if he plans the half day adventures, he needs to up his game. I am writing to save you money on the over priced, mediocre experience. For the price -we expected a combination of learning about St Louis, landmarks and personal service at each brewery. For that price I expected ALOT more. What we received was a ride to 4 locations and conversation with our guide- he was not there to do much more than drive us to our destination and “pay” (which lets be clear is what you already paid). If you are looking to just have a glorified Uber take you to a few breweries and want to pay this much for it - then go for it. I tried to work with this tour company OPATRIP to lower their price? Or get partial refund for this mediocre experience- but they said no. Read more Written November 6, 2023

• Lisa W 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Architectural history, not romantic The tour was filled with architectural history facts while walking around the neighborhood. We primarily looked at houses that were built in the 18th century and where some old breweries used to be. It was a good historical tour but not what we were expecting for “romantic”. At the very beginning, the tour guide asked us what kinds of things we wanted to see, and when we said it was titled a “romantic tour” he admitted he didn’t really know what that meant so he gave us his normal tour. He gave a decent tour, but it was not anything we thought we’d signed up for. Read more Written September 4, 2022

8 Classic St. Louis Foods and Where to Find Them.

One of the most popular questions we get on our EAT Saint Louis Food Tours is “What are some of the foods unique to St. Louis?”. It’s a great question and actually the first question I ask when I run into a foodie or taking a food tour in a new city. St. Louis has a continually evolving food scene, but I tend to be a purist at heart, a traditionalist. In this article, I will answer this question and tell you what classic old school eatery is known for that particular food item. Again, there are many places that may have these items on their menu, but my recommendations in this post are places that have become synonymous with the food.

So here it is, in no particular order, foods that are unique to St. Louis:

Pork Steaks

In the summer, you can’t go to a St. Louisan’s home for a barbecue and not find pork steaks. This steak is cut from the pork shoulder aka Boston Butt. The slow cooking time and slathering of BBQ Sauce helps tenderize this cut of pork, which is the same cut that is usually used for pulled pork.

Oddly, you would think you would find it on the menu of all of the barbeque joints in St. Louis, but it is not. Many of them opt to turn it into pulled pork. Your best bet for a traditional Pork Steak is Smokie O’s Barbeque on North Broadway. This family has been slow cooking their barbeque since 1997 and have it all down pat.. and the extra bonus is it’s located across the street from Bissinger Chocolates.

Toasted Ravioli

Mama Mia they are delicious! Originating on “The Hill” where we conduct our flagship food tour, these breaded pillows of deliciousness are filled with either a meat or cheese filling and deep fried. Two restaurants on the Hill claim to be the originators of the Toasted Ravioli – Charlie Gitto’s and Mama Campisi’s. These days, some restauranteurs will take regular boiled ravioli and bread them and fry them, but the true toasted ravioli officionados can tell the difference.

If you want to try handmade Toasted Ravioli, try them at Mama Toscano’s Ravioli. Nick Toscano and his family have been making them by hand since the late 1940s. They offer the original meat (beef and pork blend), Cheese (ricotta cheese based filling) and pizza (sausage, pizza sauce and provel cheese).

St. Louis Style Pizza

Thin crispy crust, laden with Provel cheese, and cut into squares is the best way to describe the St. Louis style Pizza. It’s all about that Provel Cheese which you either love or hate. It is a processed cheese loaf made specifically for the St. Louis market and comprised of White Cheddar, Provolone and Swiss Cheeses. This blend was formulated for pizzerias in St. Louis for its amazing melting properties.

The iconic Pizzeria known for making the St. Louis Pizza popular in St. Louis is the IMO’s Pizza Chain. My sister, when visiting us in St. Louis, always makes us grab an IMO’s pizza upon her arrival. St. Louisans just love Provel. I tend to think if they made a Provel flavored baby food they would feed it to their children. Me, not so much. With over 99 locations, there is bound to be an IMO’s near you.

The St. Louis Slinger

The slinger is the late night culinary choice for almost every college student –found at many diners in St. Louis it really hits the spot after a night of heavy drinking…or so I hear. The slinger is a diner specialty consisting of a meat (typically a hamburger patty), topped with hash browns and two eggs (typically sunny side up) all covered with chili and shredded cheddar cheese. I get mine with the optional onions and jalapeño slices.

For the ultimate diner experience I recommend Courtesy Diner at 3am on a Sunday morning when the 3am bars let out and the hordes of inebriated flood the diner for their fix. If you will be tucked in bed at 3am, don’t worry, Courtesy Diner serves a ton of these all day long and they are marvelous. So heavy they will sit at the bottom of your stomach and you won’t need to eat for another day.

St. Paul Sandwich

Said to be named after the hometown of the inventor (St. Paul Minnesota), the St. Paul sandwich can be found in almost every Chinese Take-Out restaurant in St. Louis and outlying cities. The sandwich consists of an egg foo young patty (made with mung beans sprouts and chopped white onions), topped with dill pickle slices, onions, white onion slices, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise all sandwiched between two slices of white bread. You can also select whether you would like chicken, pork, shrimp or beef in the egg foo young patty.

Just google “Chinese food take out St. Louis” , select and nearby eatery and give them a call to see if it is on the menu.

Gooey Butter Cake

One of my favorite desserts is the gooey butter cake.  The cake is a flat and dense coffee cake about an inch tall that is usually dusted with powdered sugar and cut into squares similar to a brownie.  It is made of a bottom layer of butter and yellow cake batter and a top layer of butter, sugar and eggs.  It is extremely rich and delicious.  There are many versions of this cake – one made with cream cheese and one without.  I tend to stay away from the store-bought cakes which tend to be cream cheese based or flavored.

This dish is usually best purchased from a bakery or coffee shop.  My absolute favorite is made by Gooey Louie .  One of the things I dislike about the grocery store versions is that they typically have a large portion of the cake bottom which is my least favorite part.  The best part of the gooey butter cake is the gooey butter NOT the cake!  Gooey Louie’s has the perfect proportions of cake to gooey butter filling and they make different varieties fresh daily.  It is all they do and they do it the best!  BONUS:  They ship nationwide!  My Second runner up would be  Park Avenue Coffee   which make a large variety and has several locations.

Gerber Sandwich

First made by the local family-owned Ruma’s Deli, and named in 1973 after a customer called Dick Gerber, the sandwich has been duplicated by many other St. Louis restaurants. The sandwich is an open-faced sandwich consisting on a half section of Italian or French bread, spread with garlic butter and topped with ham, and Provel (traditionally) or Provolone cheese, seasoned with a sprinkling of paprika and then toasted.

Chances are there is a version of this sandwich on the menu at your favorite St. Louis deli. But, remember, I am a traditional kinda guy and I would say you need to go to where this originated to truly taste its splendor. Unfortunately, there are only 2 locations remaining of the famed Ruma’s Deli. If you do go, I suggest you ask for a half prosperity (a version made with roast beef) and half Gerber. Best of both worlds.

While there are many ice cream places that have a soft serve in St. Louis, there are few that have frozen custard which is a dairy based iced cream made with eggs and honey.  A concrete is this custard blended with any combination of dozens of ingredients.  The mixture is so thick that a spoon inserted into the custard does not fall if the cup is inverted.

The ultimate classic concrete can be found at  Ted Drewes Frozen Custard .  They have a location on Chippewa Ave (Route 66) which is a sight to behold during summer evenings with crowds, holding their signature yellow cups with straw and spoon, pouring into the streets.  To this day, after umpteen requests to turn the business into a franchise, it remains a family-owned business.

Interstates could be the highway to health for bee populations in Missouri

Highway and interstate corridors with green spaces could be the solution to growing bee pollinator habitats.

That’s according to preliminary results from a pilot study by scientists at St. Louis University and the Green House Venture. In 2015, the Federal Highway Administration called on states to enhance bee habitats on roadways in an effort to improve food sustainability in urban areas.

Gerardo Camilo, a biologist and leader of the study, said researchers nationwide urged Congress to act following concerns about the negative effects of declining bee populations and the food supply.

“The bulk of our pollinators were decreasing in abundance and diversity,” said Camilo. “This is something that people that study history, especially political history have recognized for a long time that nothing destabilizes a government faster than the people going hungry. Things like the cost of almonds that require pollination started to go up.”

In 2018, researchers in St. Louis built a terrace garden with agricultural crops in a 3.5-acre section of an embankment on the Interstate 44 corridor in the Shaw neighborhood. The group split the embankment in half, removing the existing grass and non-native trees and replacing them with native prairie plants. The other half was left alone.

Between 2018 and 2023, the number of bee species multiplied from two to more than 50 in the section that was replaced with the native prairie plants. Researchers even saw rare finds like the American bumblebee.

“If you restore and you already have enough of a wild bee population, they will start recolonizing those sites,” Camilo said.

Donald Stump, the director of curriculum for the Green House Venture, said that bees are attracted to areas that aren’t visually appealing but are filled with native plants that will keep them around.

“The flowers on our embankment are so beautiful,” Stump said. “They last all summer into the fall. We designed it to make sure that there are plenty of species that will be flowering at every point from early spring until late fall. So the bees will stay there.”

The St. Louis region has nearly 220 native bees. That’s almost half of the known bee species in the state. The group hopes to continue its research, but it needs more funding.

Food was pretty good for it to be close to closing. I like the other locations so when I found out this one was here I had to try it! They made my food fresh and it was fast. They were not super crowded and the customer service was friendly. I took my food to go but they do have tables for dining in. Great lighting! I ate my food before I thought about taking a picture.

Always on point no matter what time you go . Have never had a bad experience with them yet. I always get either 25 pc wing for lazy cooking days or honey hot wings with cheese fries.
