This week Meera and Michelle discuss the menu revamp at Benevolent King in Maplewood, which will now have more of a focus on seafood. Michelle also talks about a recent visit to the newly-opened Motor Town Pizza in Richmond Heights, which is the new concept from co-owners Simon and Angelica Lusky who also run Revel Kitchen. Also in the conversation is a list of Black-owned restaurants to check out suggested by Simone Faure, chef and co-owner of La Patisserie Chouquette in St. Louis, which was just named a semifinalist in the Outstanding Bakery category by the James Beard Foundation. Rounding out the conversation is a chat on happy hours with a list of good ones to get to right now.
