Best Italian Restaurants, Thoughts on Tipping, and What We Can't Stop Thinking About Oct 31, 2023

In the inaugural episode of Arch Eats, dining editor George Mahe and restaurant critic Cheryl Baehr engage in a lively conversation that delves into the nuances of dried and fresh pasta. They also share insights on the Italian restaurant scene, on The Hill and far beyond. (Could St. Charles become The Hill 2.0? Liliana's is flourishing in Cottleville, Napoli Sea opened at Streets of St. Charles, and there's O'Fallon's forthcoming Osteria Forto.)

Learn where to grab the under-the-radar masterpiece described as "one giant pillow of... I don't even know what you'd call it" and "the best mashed potatoes of your life crossed with lasagna."

And amid their gastronomic revelations, Mahe and Baehr share thoughts about tipping on a tablet while being watched.
