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 in the Extra Sauce section of SauceMagazine.com, 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 Dennis Lowery found the best sweetbreads St. Louis has to offer. As often happens in the world of food journalism, though, one worthy version of this dish wasn’t available until after press time – and now, we can’t wait to share it with you. Find out this month’s Short List runner-up here.
