Remembering STL’s Favorite Lost Restaurants Mar 05, 2025

Show notes

Prompted by a spate of prominent closures that rocked the St. Louis restaurant scene over the last few months, Arch Eats co-hosts George Mahe and Cheryl Baehr found themselves asking this question a lot—and they know you’ve been doing the same. After jotting down at least 50 places they wish they could dine at again, the pair narrowed down their list to their 13 most-missed spots that include everything from a long-lost Loop wine bar to a basement Italian joint in the Central West End and a south city hot spot that (somewhat) lives again in the form of two very popular restaurants. Did yours make the list? Tune in for this walk down memory lane to find out, reminisce, and relive some of your fondest St. Louis food memories.

They’ll talk about the usual suspects, but they’ve also unearthed some surprises, including a popular Middle Eastern restaurant that boasts a cult following for its wings and an under-the-radar tea house that just might be the episode’s biggest surprise wing story. Tune in to hear if your go-to makes the cut—or maybe find a new, unexpected favorite.
