It's the "wurst" episode yet. Hosts George Mahe and Cheryl Baehr visit with Jim LeGrand of LeGrand's Market & Catering (4414 Donovan), family-owned and -operated in St. Louis Hills for more than three dozen years. LeGrand, the company's head butcher, discusses how the brats accidentally developed a cult following over time. Learn about the best ways to season and cook brats, preferred toppings and condiments, and some creative concoctions, from the crowd-favorite brown sugar pineapple brat to a not-so-successful Easter Jelly Belly brat. Plus, George and Cheryl share where to find the best brats, hot dogs, and sausages in St. Louis. Listen and follow Arch Eats on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever podcasts are available.
