The Scoop on St. Louis Ice Cream Sandwiches

22 min 17 sec
<p>The kids may be headed back to school, but on&nbsp;<em>Arch Eats</em>, we are squeezing out every last drop of summer with the season’s most nostalgic sweet treat: ice cream sandwiches. In what may be their messiest episode yet, George and Cheryl will walk you through where you can get these novelties, from established local favorites to off-the-radar, secret menu spots. They’ll even give you some pro-tips for which ones travel well and which ones require eating immediately so you don’t suffer the same ice cream soup fate that they do in the studio. And if you want to play a game while you listen to this episode, take a drink—or a bite of ice cream—every time one of them says the word ‘soup.’ It’ll keep you busy.

St. Louis Dining Quirks

St. Louis Dining Quirks

27 min 48 sec
<p>We are obsessed with where everyone went to high school. We love to mispronounce street names and we refuse to call that concert venue in Maryland Heights anything other than “Riverport.” St. Louisans sure have their quirks, and the way we dine is no exception. In this episode, George and Cheryl explore the particular eccentricities of St. Louis restaurant-goers; from our insistence on easy parking to a penchant for large portions, they unpack our non-negotiables and proclivities to figure what makes our food scene so unique—and share which ones they are guilty of themselves.
