malt o meal
St. Louis has an interesting combination of restaurant chains that I recognized from my time living on the East Coast and on the West Coast. Just this past weekend, I saw White Castle, Del Taco, Jack in the Box, Church's Chicken, First Watch and El Pollo Loco.
The flame-grilled chicken at El Pollo Loco is a favorite of mine. Bill Smith, a former co-worker from KROQ met me there for dinner on Friday. Bill is now in a band called Glitch Factor. Our food beat the heck out of the supposedly grilled chicken I had at KFC a few weeks ago.
Without taking anything away from El Pollo Loco, the best meal of the weekend was not at a chain restaurant but at a St. Louis original. A former radio guy turned successful real estate agent, Bruce Butler, invited me to meet him for lunch at the Crown Candy Kitchen, a local institution since 1913. Bruce said the BLT and the milkshakes were "strong." He was right.

We went to St.Louis last year about this time and it was a great trip the food there was really good. We ate at El pollo Loco and i still have cravens for that chicken. ps. looks like that milk shake was pretty good to.
didn't man v. food have a challenge at the crown candy kitchen?
That picture of you drinking the milkshake cracked me up.
Gotta have thick milkshakes. Those are always the best!
The milkshake looks almost painful.
