Feel like pancakes with preserved blueberries or a braised brisket sandwich? Then check out the latest from the Gallinas, the infamous restaurant duo of Vicia fame. The couple took over Winslow’s Home and have redone the space in the most stylish way as Winslow’s Table. The food is phenomenal as to be expected, and dinner service is planned to begin in January.
If you want to get in the holiday spirit, head to the CWE! (Or any neighborhood really; they all have their own festive vibe and activities.) But after a night at the gorgeously renovated Chase Park Plaza, I was ready for carols, Santa and his sleigh. There are towering trees, decorative garland and the most precious gingerbread village of our fabulous city. Picture perfect and worth a trip!
Anheuser-Busch VP Bill Bradley is a perfect example of someone who worked hard to get to where he is today. And after 24 years in various roles at the brewery giant, he’s being recognized for his dedication and philanthropy. Bradley recently was named the 2019 Corporate Executive of the Year by The St. Louis American Foundation, which he credits as a group effort with his co-workers and family. Congrats on a well-deserved honor!
If you’re a fan of Vanderpump Rules, then you have a clue who Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix are. If not, you still might know who Tom is. Yep, he’s a native St. Louisan who grew up here until his modeling career took him elsewhere at the age of 18 (Karlie Kloss and Devon Windsor ring a bell?). Modeling led to bartending led to bartending on reality TV led to love. Now, the two cocktail masters have a just-released book, Fancy AF Cocktails. It’s cute, catchy and flirty! Check out pg. 20 for the STL Red Hot Rita, where Tom gives a shout out to all things local.
We’ve got the inside scoop! Luxco, a St. Louis-based beverage alcohol company, is releasing a new 100% agave tequila, El Mayor Cristalino, that will be available in early spring in Missouri. Topped with a glass cork and filled by hand, this isn’t the kind you drank in college. From its distillery in Jalisco, Mexico, the tequila is made with hand-selected blue agave and gets its clear brilliance from being filtered with ultra fine charcoal. Marg, anyone?
