STL Restaurants Rebuild After The Tornado
Arch Eats
<p>In this episode of <em><a href="http://stlmag.com/podcasts/arch-eats" rel="nofollow">Arch Eats</a></em>, hosts Cheryl Baehr and George Mahe talk with Danni Eickenhorst of <a href="https://www.hustl.group/" rel="nofollow">HuSTL Hospitality Group</a> about the May 16 tornado and its impact on the Delmar Maker District—home to two of her own restaurants. Eickenhorst shares how the local hospitality community has rallied in response, highlights the success of the <em>Take Back The Block</em> concert she organized, and offers practical ways people can continue to support affected restaurants. Drawing on her experience witnessing the 2011 Joplin tornado, she reflects on how the St. Louis storm compared—and why the recovery here requires a different approach.
