A brand-new school year has kicked off, and with any luck, those pesky 50¶È»ÒÊÓƵ heat waves are on their way out. August also saw several new and notable restaurants open their doors.
Expat BBQ from Niche Food Group is currently in its soft opening phase inside City Foundry STL. Limited dinner seatings are available until its grand opening on Sept. 12, with reservations in the main floor dining room available . Meanwhile, farmers market favorite Farm Spirit debuted inside Blue Jay Brewing Co. in Midtown – no more waiting until Saturday to grab one of those smash (hit) burgers.
Unfortunately, vegan spot Looking Meadow Café closed its doors on Aug. 17 in Maplewood. You can find the owner's farewell note .Ìý
