Pork Steak Season ft. David Sandusky

It’s a Cinco de Mayo-inspired fiesta at Arch Eats, and George and Cheryl are celebrating in the best way possible: With tacos and margaritas. In this episode, the co-hosts explore the city’s vibrant taco scene with must-visit destinations that range from the gold standards of Cherokee Street and the ultra-traditional, off-the-beaten path taquerias of North County, to parking lot birria stands in St. Charles and East St. Louis, and fun fusion spots that push the envelope of what one might even consider a taco. If you’re someone who treats Taco Tuesday like a weekly holiday, you’ll want to check this one out. Watch Arch Eats on YouTube and listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever podcasts are available.

St. Louis Dining Do’s and Don’t's

Mexican cuisine is having a moment in St. Louis right now, and chef Alex Henry is a major part of that movement. Since opening his City Foundry food stall, Sureste, in 2021 and following up with his outstanding sit-down restaurant, El Molino del Sureste, two years later, Henry has been setting the bar for regional Mexican cuisine. A native of the Yucatán city Mérida, Henry celebrates the region’s cuisine at El Molino del Sureste with thrilling results—and earned himself a James Beard Awards semifinalist nomination for Best Chef: Midwest in the process. He shares his passion for Yucatecan cuisine with George and Cheryl, as well as his take on why St. Louis diners are so eager to experience traditional Mexican dishes. Watch Arch Eats on YouTube and listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever podcasts are available.
