Flower Child Will Bring 'Good for You' Fast-Casual Food to Frontenac

2 months ago
A well-respected Phoenix-based restaurant group is bringing one of its fast-growing concepts to Frontenac — its first Missouri location. Flower Child, which is currently under construction in the previous home of a St. Louis Bread Co. at 10336 Clayton Road, right next to Frontenac Mall, has the same fast-casual vibes. But the offerings are much more California fresh than Midwestern carb-loading.

When bad theology leads to bad laws

2 months ago

During a recent debate in the Missouri Senate over a proposal to create rape and incest exemptions to Missouri’s abortion ban, one lawmaker argued against such exceptions by defaming God. Republican Sen. Sandy Crawford, who called herself “a woman of faith,” argued that while rape can be “mentally taxing,” women should be required to give […]

St. Louis Restaurant Openings and Closings: February 2024

2 months ago
February broke our hearts a little with the closure of the beloved Sunday Best in the Central West End and Chicken Out in Kirkwood, some tasty chicken staples that will be missed (though if you find yourself in need of a Sunday Best fix, you can still find them at Citypark). But, as a mangled version of the saying goes, when God closes two chicken joints, he opens a chicken joint. Thus we are excited for the opening of the new location of Chuck’s Hot Chicken (3155 South Kingshighway Boulevard), which specializes in Nashville-style spicy bird fare.
