This week on The Sauce podcast, we chatted with The Urge frontman Steve Ewing, who also owns Steve’s Hot Dogs and Steve’s Meltdown. Check out the episode here, and read below to learn about some of his favorite spots around town.
Lona’s Lil Eats
“Lona’s Lil Eats lets you build your own bowls or wraps with thoughtful and healthy proteins and greens. It has a super chill neighborhood vibe and the prices are good. My wife and I love going here for no-fuss, healthy food that’s fast.”

Mai Lee
“Mai Lee is well-known for their noodles, but I’m all about the sandwiches. There are so many choices for St. Paul and banh mi sandwiches. Not all St. Pauls are the same. These are super fresh with attention to detail.”

Pizza Head
“Pizza Head has vegan and regular New York-style slices you can get late-night at the street window. It’s always fresh and the cashew cheese is really good! Order a slice and a City Wide and you’re good.”
3196 S. Grand Blvd., St. Louis, pizzahead.com
Rooster
“Rooster has a simple but awesome brunch menu with crepes. I usually order the steak and eggs, and my wife and daughter love the scrambles. We live close by, so it’s our go-to for taking our guests for breakfast. Folks love the big food hall seating.”

Tiny Chef at the Silver Ballroom
“I love her attention to detail, like the house-made kimchi. The menu changes daily, so all the ingredients are super fresh. Keep your eyes open for the Atomic Noodles and the bibimbap.”
