St. Louis Classics That Still Deliver
Arch Eats
<p>Sure, we could talk about the oldest restaurants in St. Louis—but let’s be honest, age doesn’t always mean excellence. In this episode of <a href="https://www.stlmag.com/podcasts/arch-eats/" rel="nofollow"><em>Arch Eats</em></a> co-hosts <a href="https://www.stlmag.com/author/george-mahe/" rel="nofollow">George Mahe</a> and <a href="https://www.stlmag.com/author/cheryl-baehr/" rel="nofollow">Cheryl Baehr</a> spotlight over a dozen iconic eateries continue to deliver with character and consistency. The youngest is 50 years old; the oldest is 127. Let your cravings guide you back in time—and maybe back to the table—at one of these beloved culinary institutions.</p>
