Each month, we scour the city for the best version of a single dish. Be it French fries or foie gras, Buffalo wings or BLTs, we report which three spots are dishing up St. Louis’ best – and exactly what we loved about them. But who says we have to pick just three? Our writers taste dozens of these delicious dishes before they pick the three best and, let’s face it, you can never have too much of a very good thing. Every month on Extra Sauce, our Short List writer reveals whose version of the dish came oh-so close to making the top three but fell just shy of taking home a medal.
In this month’s Short List, Sauce contributor Emily Lowery divulged whose hot chocolate is worth braving the cold for. Now, Lowery shares two other mugs of hot cocoa to keep you cozy this winter. The best part? They’re just steps away from one another. Find out her picks for the two more cups of hot cocoa you shouldn’t live without in this month’s Extra Sauce.
