It's long been called "St. Louis' Signature Sandwich," and now the sauce that really makes the Amighetti's special is available bottled. Now that you can take the sauce home with you, we decided to visit the home of Mrs. Amighetti herself. How the strong-willed woman invented it, how love became as much a part of her business strategy as her recipes, and what she says about the state of the restaurant today. Plus, we'll run through the food news and events you need to know ahead of Labor Day Weekend.

So many of you have been doing all you can to support local restaurants during this scary time. We love that. But unfortunately, for many restaurants, that’s not going to be enough. We hate that.
On this episode, we’re sharing what lawmakers are working on to save the restaurant business. Why Vicia’s Tara Gallina is sacrificing what’s left of her free time to support the cause, how you can get legislation moving and how this help could look a lot different than the CARES Act.
Plus, we have a lot of tasty food news to go over, including several new restaurants coming to the area. And, we have a variety of events you can safely check out this weekend.

Almost since the beginning of when restaurant dining rooms were allowed to reopen, they’ve had to close, in many cases, after close contact with the virus that nearly killed the industry. Some shut down for a night, others until further notice, but all are dealing with the reality of doing business during a pandemic.
We talked to the owner of Herbie’s Restaurant in Clayton, who had to close his restaurant for 10 days this summer, to find out what happens when the lights go off, what us diners should feel around for and how they know what to do next when they’re largely in the dark.
Plus, we have big breaking news about a multi-million dollar food-centric development and a combo you and your furry best friend will love.

The pandemic has taught us a lot of things and made us realize how much we take for granted; that includes a plate of food. Not just at a restaurant or one you've cooked up yourself: anything at all. Food insecurity has skyrocketed as a result of the pandemic's economic shutdown, so we check in with Operation Food Search about how they're meeting the need, why this has become such a problem, and where we can help.
EPISODE NOTE: Since recording this episode, Salt + Smoke announced it would be reopening all locations on Thursday, July 23.
