45 - Pork and Crab Dumplings

This week Michelle and Meera discuss a classic egg salad sandwich at Union Loafers in Botanical Heights and also talk about drinking out of a disco-ball-shaped-punch bowl at Hidden Gem, a new bar in Midtown St. Louis. They also talk about a recent visit to Millpond brewing in Millstadt, Illinois, where their hazy IPAs stood out amongst their delicious lineup of beers. New spots are opening and familiar favorites are expanding and reopening and they chat about the latest wave of news from Tiger Soup Dumplings opening in Des Peres, Amrut Fusion Cusine in Chesterfield and The Shaved Duck in South City.
