First off, Saint Louis (if there even is one) must be the patron saint of lousy burgers and generally mediocre crap. Have you ever been to St. Louis? It sucks. Everyone that I have ever met from St. Louis is an idiot. All readers of this site are exempt. Also, the O'Connell's Pub burger is crap.
#1--the place is a dump. It smells like an ashtray made out of wet dog fur.
#2--the burger is cheap, and it tastes cheap--completely bland and unmemorable.
#3--there is no #3--it's a lousy burger.
Overview: St. Louis is a lousy town with lousy burgers. Other burgers were sampled--they also sucked.
Rating...1 Bite

Interesting fact: Not one single person died on the St. Louis Gateway Arch construction project. PUSSIES--that means that they did not build it high enough. Leave it to St. Louis to suck the danger out of a construction project by going weak in terms of scale. Awesomeness of monuments should be measured in death tolls--that's why you can't top the Great Pyramid or the Great Wall of China. They has the word "great" in them, because a great number of people died while building them--that's what makes them freaking great. When The Burger Busters rule the country, St. Louis shall be reduced to a great, smoldering hole in the earth.
#1 would equal ambiance and The Burger Busters "are not interested in ambiance."
ReplyDeleteBill, you sound like a guy that hails from St. Louis.
ReplyDeleteCome to Spokane, WA. After a few days here in this hell hole, you'll think St. Louis, MO is the garden of eden before the fall of man.
ReplyDeleteIf in Coeur D'Alene, ID, just East of the Spokane hell hole, Hudson Hamburger's is apparently one of the best in the area. Other than that, no good burgers, no good hot wings, and all the pizza is pure, flavorless, overpriced shit.
But Spokane, WA is a giant white trash shit hole. Oh, you'll get your man-boob fill in this shitty town.
You want a good burger, try the Sierra Nevada tap room in Chico, CA. The raise their own beef, all organic. Well beyond sublime.
When St. Louis is a smoldering shit hole in the Earth, please let me know. I need to point and laugh. I hate St. Louis. Yet I'm from St. Louis County.
I could not agree more. I had the misfortune of spending a weekend in Spokane a few years ago, and it was a wasteland.
ReplyDeleteJust The Tip,
ReplyDeleteThe St. Louis Pest-Disgrace (Post Dispatch) posted an article on the front page today (26 Feb 2009) under dining:
"Our picks for top burgers in the St. Louis area"

The reviewers list O'CONNELL'S PUB as "OUR FAVORITE."
Please have at all involved with and contained in this article.
When I say St. Louis is a soldering shit hole, that includes St. Louis County (where I'm from). Still, though, Spokane County, City, and Spokane Valley (where I am) and the ugly people here are a far, far, far worse affair than St. Louis. The is not much between the two, though, beyond latitude and longitude.
Don't forget the Sierra-Nevada Taproom for a burger review. Also, they have Sierra Nevada Stout on nitro charge. On a dry, hot late July day in Chico, some fresh pints of any of their brews can't be beat.
You can try the hometown St. Louis brew named Shafly. I found it wholly unimpressive. Must be the shit filled Mississloppi water. Slightly better than A-B, though, to give the St. Louis slack-jawed yocals some hope and change.
Cheers and thanks,
B.
you should really try Carl's Drive In on Manchester in St Louis(like steak n shake but way better)
