Actually, I am so sure of my opinion that I will augment my opinion from saying “I think eating meat is wrong” to saying “Eating factory-farmed meat is wrong.”

Turning Principian thumbs green
Friday, April 30th, 2010Twice a week, senior Molly Hayes, junior Jenn Odell, sophomore Lulu Mosman, and freshman Emma Lowenberg venture into Elsah, where they learn about organic agriculture as interns on the Three Rivers Community Farm. Dirty knees and dusty pants are hallmarks of their work.
The compliment lasagna
Friday, April 16th, 2010It’s a wonderful thing to give compliments but just like foreign languages, Americans don’t know what they are.

Sacred Grounds
Friday, March 5th, 2010I believe that breakfast is the best meal of the day. Whether you are a vegan or a carnivore, there is something tasty awaiting you in the world of the breakfast menu. My love for breakfast is so deep that I have decided to dedicate all of next quarter to reviewing the top breakfast joints in the St. Louis area. So to satisfy my craving for breakfast fare, I came across a place in my trusty Sauce magazine, and decided to do a test drive of the breakfast review.
Our food buff weighs in on Duff’s

Mango brings Peru to you
Friday, February 5th, 2010Attention Peru abroad members: there is a restaurant in St. Louis where you can experience the cuisine of Peru before you even travel abroad. I stumbled across Mango while reading a St. Louis food magazine called Sauce, and I’ve been drooling ever since. Mango is located in a strip mall on the outskirts of St. Louis. With a group of girlfriends and an empty stomach, I ventured into the world of the culinary unknown.
La Tortillaria es la mejor
Friday, January 22nd, 2010I’m not even four words into this article, and I am already craving Mexican food. Luckily for me, there is a spot in St. Louis to fulfill this culinary desire. If you are a fan of authentic northern Mexican cuisine, or just a lover of a hefty burrito, the Tortillaria in the Central West End is el primo.
A welcoming taste of Thai
Friday, November 13th, 2009Some of the best meals I have ever had have come from local, quintessential “ticky-tacky” places. Delicious fare- the best hot dogs, good Chinese food, and even fried chicken- is tastier when the room fits only five people and the eclectic décor is from the 1970s. This theory holds true for the Thai Country Café in Loop. The walls are faux wood with pictures of waterfalls. Small Buddha statues, wicker baskets, and other knick-knacks are perched on the shelves lining the walls. These touches make the restaurant extra homey, welcoming you as you walk in off the street.
Everest Cafe: worth the trek
Friday, October 30th, 2009I love birthday dinners. When I was growing up, my mom would always make a special meal, baked my favorite cake, and ended the night with presents and singing. This year’s birthday celebration at Everest Café and Bar jumped to a different continent with flavors from the East. It wasn’t my mother’s cooking, but it was certainly delicious and celebratory.
