For students who want a restaurant a little closer to South High, senior Dori Stevens sings a different tune of the 1356 Public House.

 As it turns out sports bars and grills are particularly popular among the South student body , as the 1356 Public House is another predominant sports bar down on Big Bend Road. Stevens has declared their Philly Cheesesteak to be the best in the business along with pretzels that are sprinkled with poppy and sesame seeds served along with your choice of cheddar cheese sauce or chive cream cheese. “It really is the cheesesteak that does it for me, you can’t find anything like it anywhere else,” Stevens said.

If you want to spend a semester in search of St. Louis style eatery, look no further than the history wing. A South High token class is the famous “History of St. Louis” taught by Carrie Steele.

If you’re in dire need of classic St. Louis cuisine check out her class!

In our home town, it is easy to ignore all the great local food and just take the easy comfortable solace of Taco Bell and other big-name brands, but let these testimonies encourage you to take the leap of faith into your new favorite restaurant.
