Dang.. I think I gained a pound just reading!
Thanks Bob.
It was funny, we rode up Lindell, making our way past WashU over to Delmar.
The intent was to hit Fitz's.
For the non MoFo's in the room, Fitz's is a soda company, Root Beer is their signature, local to St Louis.
So we were on our way to Fitz's, which has a diner type set up out in front of the brewery. At least, I think that is the set up, I still haven't made it there.
So we are driving down Delmar and looking at all the shops/restaurants and I'm more focusing on the road. Looking forward to the long awaited Loop Trolley to start on the tracks embedded in the road, unfortunately for the area its been a 4+ year project.
So after my daughter points out the tattoo place where all her college friends are getting their nipples pierced (sorry, another thread maybe) we come upon Fitz's.
And then she blurts out on a whim "Salt & Smoke".
I said, "Really? That place is on our list. We'll have to go there next time (Nov). I didn't realize they were located in the Delmar Loop."
So parking is outback behind Delmar, we get in the lot behind Fitz's.
And, Then, God, Made, An, Appearance.
We got out of the car, and God changed the wind direction so that the parking lot now received a crosswind past the Salt + Smoke smokers.
Emily blurted out, screw Fitz's, we're going to Salt + Smoke.
The smell was heavenly and drew us in like rats to the Pied Piper.
