Avsnitt

  • The St. Louis restaurant community may know her as the matriarch of the beloved late restaurant, Café Natasha, but for many, Hamishe Bahrami is “mom.” On this special Mother’s Day edition of Arch Eats, George and Cheryl sit down with the beloved restaurant mom and her daughter, The Gin Room and Salve Osteria’s Natasha Bahrami, to talk about what it was like raising a child in the restaurant industry, what sort of wisdom she imparted along the way, and what she’s been up to since closing Cafe Natasha in 2022. They also learn from Natasha what it was like growing up in the business, what she learned from Hamishe, and how she felt sharing her mom with the rest of St. Louis.

  • Prompted by a spate of prominent closures that rocked the St. Louis restaurant scene over the last few months, Arch Eats co-hosts George Mahe and Cheryl Baehr found themselves asking this question a lot—and they know you’ve been doing the same. After jotting down at least 50 places they wish they could dine at again, the pair narrowed down their list to their 13 most-missed spots that include everything from a long-lost Loop wine bar to a basement Italian joint in the Central West End and a south city hot spot that (somewhat) lives again in the form of two very popular restaurants. Did yours make the list? Tune in for this walk down memory lane to find out, reminisce, and relive some of your fondest St. Louis food memories.

Hosts George Mahe and Cheryl Baehr chat with acclaimed restaurateur Nick Bognar, the chef/owner of indo, Sado, and a forthcoming dining concept: Pavilion, an omakase experience located in Sado’s renovated courtyard. Slated to open this fall, the concept will offer an omakase-style menu that will feature ever-changing dishes, including nigiri, sashimi, and seasonal ingredients imported from Japan. Hear more about the one-of-a-kind experience from Bognar. Plus, a well-known surprise guest shares a new vegan creation, which came to him in a dream.
