The profiteroles and turtle brownies at Benton Park’s Sidney Street Cafe are now in the hands of Christie Saali, formerly of the St. Louis Club. Before taking over as pastry chef, Saali trained with her predecessor Christy Augustin (pictured), who has taken a teaching position at Le Cordon Bleu in St. Peters. Expect the same sweet lineup on the dessert menu at Sidney Street, as Saali has a complete stash of the restaurant’s recipes.
