But Karen, what about "White Castle and Steak and Shake," and the BBQ at the "Wolf's Inn," out on Manchester in the 1940s?----Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- The discussion re BBQ reminded me of my favorite place ever - Ed's White Front. It was at Natural Bridge and Goodfellow for many, many years. My girlfriend and I would meet there after work for the best potato salad and BBQ beef sandwiches. They also served bread dip - 3 slices of white bread covered in their wonderful BBQ sauce. Nothing like it. They were the only place I ever heard of deep frying their hamburgers and man I would die for one today. They closed that restaurant sometime in the 70's and opened one on Lindbergh right south of Northwest Plaza. The food was still as good but it didn't seem to do well and closed. I later saw a blurb somewhere that you could purchase the sauce from the owner who was in south St. Louis - but I've long lost the number. Too bad - there's nothing on the grocery store shelves that could match it. Karen Aquadro Maryland Hts
