This week on the Sauce podcast: Sauce 75, your guide to the essential St. Louis restaurants right now

This week's episode is brought to you by YES.TEA, a new line of hard teas from the team behind 4 Hands Brewing Co.

This week Meera and Michelle discuss a recent trip to Dressel's where the pretzel is still playing a starring role on the menu.

From saucemagazine.com, they delve into forthcoming No Ordinary Rabbit in Botanical Heights, as well as a throwback to Harvest, a now-closed concept that No Ordinary Rabbit owner Steve Gontram was involved in, and we've still got the recipe for his iconic bread pudding that we are still making to this day.

We also chat about new spots Well Met Cafe, which has already opened in Shaw, as well as The Fattened Caf, which will soon be opening its own brick-and-mortar off Cherokee Street.

Finally, the Sauce team has put together a guide: Sauce 75: Your guide to the essential St. Louis restaurants right now, and they discuss a few spots from the list that consistently exceed expectations.
