It's the truth in _The Riverfront Times_, one year Chili's was voted "Best
Mexican" and IIRC Dominoe's was "Best Pizza"...etc....I guess all the
"Hoosiers" must have voted.

When I hung out in STL a lot in the 90's the vast majority of peeps I hung
with had APPALLING taste in food. And these were *** guys, with good jobs,
incomes, and they were pretty well-traveled...'tis a pity cuz STL has some
great food attractions, e.g. Soulard Market, etc...yet they were pretty much
goobers in their tastes.

Years ago there was a stl.food newsgroup, it was dying on the vine back
then, haven't checked to see if it's still extant...
