What is it about vacations that are so much about food?
This past weekend, the family unit took the truckster to St. Louis to visit Nana and Ba. The kiddos got some quality time with my folks. The wife and I got a little time to ourselves.
St. Louis food is choice. There is no shortage of good stuff to eat in that town. Imo’s Pizza, toasted ravioli, Ted Drewe’s frozen custard, Steak-n-Shake. These are some of my “must eats” when I visit. Mom’s cooking is good, and this go around we had some wonderful ribs…
It seems as though vacations are centered around food. Think back to a recent trip and consider the schedule. Wake up, yummy breakfast… few hours later you’re out sight seeing or shopping, let’s have lunch! By the time you get back to the hotel and take a nap, you’re geting ready to go out to dinner. Oh, don’t forget the late night dessert before turning in…
I love to eat… and vacations provide a great excuse to make a pig of yourself.
Of course, when you return, you look at the newly expeanded belly and make a plan to work it off. If you’re like me, you look at the treadmill and say, “meh, tomorrow…”

Talking about Missouri food makes me hungry! I wish Steak-n-Shake would open a restaurant up here, but that is not in their expansion plans. Don’t forget to mention the awesome Italian food on the Hill.
They do have articles in travel magazines about food tours. You guys should take one!
