When Rob Duerscheidt bought the storied Frank Papa's Ristorante from his eponymous uncle, it represented the culmination of his culinary career, a homecoming to the place where he became a chef and a passing on of his family's legacy. It was also April 1. "Yes, I bought a restaurant on April Fools' Day," Duerscheidt laughs.

There’s an old joke around Jefferson City that AG stands for aspiring governor. And there’s a lot of truth in the jest. Five of the 12 most recent attorneys general have run for governor. Three won. But the office has more often been a step on the ladder to the U.S. Senate, with eight of […]

To the casual observer of state government, Missouri’s 2022 legislative session was dominated with headlines about infighting, gridlock and arguments over political maps.

I learned early on, with a company I was a part of, how thin the line is between success and failure. After over 100 failed sales calls, our company was rescued on the last sales call before closing entirely.

It's a sister-rooted family scene at Fair Shares. The resourceful twist of this CCSA - Combined Community Supported Agriculture - nourishes St. Louis with produce and value-added products, a plateful of action for over 15 years.

      

As founding sister Sara Choler Hale prepares to set sail (literally) on her next life adventure, she and sibling Jamie Choler share the main course and many sides of their story with Earthworms host Jean Ponzi, with relish.

From dedicated subscribing to local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farms, this thoughtful startup started asking all the local farmers if they'd be able and willing to contribute to a Combined CSA (CCSA), where subscriber-member fees are shared among many farmers and food producers. Answer: YES!

In 2008, Fair Shares boxes started sending out Veg And: eggs, jams, honey, fresh and cured meats, cheeses, sweets. Each farmer could focus on what they do best. Today, over 400 members enjoy fantastic diversity of food from over 30 local farmers and producers. Little risk and strong support, serving healthy, varied weekly shares, year-round from this Local Food hub.

Fair Shares staff spans two generations, Family And. And while the crew will dearly miss Sara and volunteer/husband Stephen, the bonds of family and food will surely weather this year's changes.
