I guess I'll wing it. Surely, there will be several restaurants near the Arch? I'm looking for something unique and spaghetti doesn't sound too good right now. I'm starting to be a good burger afficianado i think. I found a place called BB's Jazz, Blues and Soups but they aren't open for lunch. I love the blues and their menu looks good. Maybe I'll go there some other time.

Ever had Cheese Whiz on a Cracker? Imo's.
I will be the first to admit that I am probably biased when it comes to pizza having spent the first 20 years of my life in Chicago. One of the first things I looked for when I moved here was a good place for pizza. Every St. Louis native talked to raved about Imo's pizza. I heard love stories of crust, sauce and cheese that I never dreamed could be describing a pizza. I ordered my first Imo's pizza with great anticipation. After all it was a "St. Louis original". Well let me tell you why it is an original. No where else in this country could make something so horrible and pass it off as pizza.
Let me start with their 'famous' crust. It is hard and brittle and I nearly cut the inside of my cheek while eating it. Their wonderful cheese is actually provolone which any true pizza lover know is not pizza cheese. Their cheese is quite sweet and actually reminds one of Cheese Whiz. The sauce is not horrible. It is comparable to Pizza Hutt or Dominoes. The main problem I had with the sauce is that you can see it through the cheese. There is so little cheese you can see through to the sauce. They must know the cheese is terrible so they limit what they force poor hungry people to endure. I figure it's a mercy thing.
The toppings are sparse and consist of precut prepackaged veggies or frozen meat parts. The pepperoni had little flavor and the onions were thin and stringy. I have not had chance to taste too many other toppings since I would rather eat cardboard dipped in ketchup rather than pay money for that stuff again.
I am often confronted by quizzical looks from the natives here when I express my dislike for their favorite pizza. I decided they must be brainwashed as children to eat it. Either that or they have not had the opportunity to try anything better. In any case I sort of pity them. One day I will take them on a field trip to Chicago and show them what they have been missing.
Did you see the plaque marking flood level from 1993 about halfway up the steps?
