The Best Lunch with Tony


A few days ago, Tony and I were able to grab lunch together.  We wanted to try a new place, so we decided on  The Best Steak House.  I had heard about it from a few people that I worked with, but never realized how close it was.  It's a quick two block walk from SLU.  Best is a classic cafeteria style restaurant.  For those of you from Sulphur, think Bonanza.  The most expensive thing on the menu is around $13.  Tony had the steak and shrimp plate for $9 and I had the chicken plate for $7.  Both came with a side and a drink and were quite delicious!



The side of the building.


Right across from Best Steak House is the Fabulous Fox Theatre.  Attending a musical there is definitely on our must-do list.


Meet "Earth Rabbit."  "Earth Rabbit" is a fourteen foot mosaic sculpture made of ceramic objects, glass, mirror, and tile.  Three local high schools created the sculpture.  The park where it is located is next door to Best Steak House and hosts a variety of free art shows (photography, painting, pottery, etc) every Thursday evening during the summer.




If you know Tony, you know that he sometimes latches on to odd topics and just won't let them go.  Two days prior to eating lunch at Best, Tony spent twenty minutes explaining to me how odd it was that you never saw a Second, Third, or Fourth, etc Baptist Church.  Always just a First Baptist.  Well, we finally found Third Baptist Church.  It's a block past Best Steak House right here in St. Louis.
