Yummies Restaurant 3149 Shenandoah Ave., St. Louis, 314.226.9800 Corn muffins may take the guesswork out of trying to cut a pan of cornbread into equal portions, but what poor soul decided that corn muffins should be tiny little things? Though they had a great roasted corn flavor, Yummies’ wee muffins were a bit on the dry side. Nothing that couldn't be solved with the judicious application of butter, of course, but a larger muffin might bear the heat better - and elevate the merely good to the truly great.
