When STL Pot Chef<\/a> Arica Avery isn\u2019t in the kitchen cooking up some incredible infused goodies, she’s out on the town at some of the amazing restaurants that call St. Louis home. Below, check out her current top five favorites, and make sure you tune in to her episode of The Sauce podcast<\/a> that aired earlier this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adriana\u2019s on the Hill<\/strong>
<\/strong>\u201cIf you have a lunch date or casual lunch in the park, grab a delicious, fresh half Adriana’s Salad with their signature oil and vinegar dressing and a half Mary’s Special hot roast beef in a garlic cheese bread. I definitely love how this place feels like home or cheers. Great staff and delicious food.\u201d
5101 Shaw Ave., St. Louis, <\/em>adrianasonthehill.com<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gulf Shores Restaurant & Grill<\/strong>
<\/strong>\u201cI love Gulf Shore’s daily happy hour drink specials. Never had a bad drink from this place and the food is delicious. My favorite is everything on the menu but my standard choice is the Blackened Shrimp Alfredo with Shrimp & Crab Cake or the Rajun Cajun with their cornbread muffin.\u201d
Multiple locations, <\/em>gulfshoresrestaurantandgrill.com<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lorenzo’s Trattoria<\/strong>
\u201cFor a great date night, Lorenzo’s Trattoria is amazing. I love their toasted ravioli. Some of the best customer service in St. Louis.\u201d
1933 Edwards St, St. Louis, <\/em>lorenzostrattoria.com<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tasty Treats Snack Shop<\/strong>
\u201cMy Friday go-to lunch\/dinner spot is Tasty Treats Snack Shop. I love their St. Louis-style rib tips with potato salad (they sell out fast) or their turkey burger with everything and fresh fries.\u201d
3114 Delmar Blvd., St. Louis, <\/em>tastytreatsstlouis.com<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gramophone
<\/strong>\u201cMy #1 late night spot is Gramophone. My favorite sandwiches are the Mississippi Nights and I get a half Jive Turkey. Love how fast and fresh their food is.\u201d
4243 Manchester Ave., St. Louis, <\/em>gramophonestl.com<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
