Quick! Name the St. Louis restaurant where the cheese is put on your burger with an ice-cream scoop?

That would be the Fatted Calf, a Clayton institution since 1966. The home of charbroiled cheeseburgers adorned with scoops of “soft cheddar” broke a few hearts about four months ago when it closed due to a grease fire.

Management seized the opportunity to update the 44-year-old kitchen, and the spot reopened for lunch and dinner today.

The Keepers of the Calf Burger have made it known that the restaurant’s neo-Tudor interior design, as well as its menu, remains the same.
