Quincy St. Bistro. St. Louis, MO.

Day 7

Due to the limitations in belly space and digestive time, we were unable to indulge in any chee'burgs

in Kansas City. The KCMO BBQ proved too much of a temptation for us to stay the straight and narrow. We'll have to review two burgs coming up to make up for it.

Missouri proved to be a far better culinary experience than Kansas, the barbecue was divine. Louis became obsessed with a bunch of brick warehouses covered in graffiti known as West Bottoms. I'm sure he is scheming on how to get together a down payment in order to start his single-origin, organic, micro-brewed, trough-to-plate, artisan mustard shop started up. 

After making a stop in Neosho, we crossed the great state of Missouri and ended up in St. Louis. All that driving led to some hunger which led us to order up a couple cheeseburgers at the Quincy St. Bistro. I ordered the Hog Burger.

Review

Bun:

They're working with a crusty kaiser bun here. It's soft in all the right places and has a nice thin crust all over. Mucho gusto.

Patty:

The patty is 60% beef, 40% pork. I have mine cooked medium. There is a hint of char. The patty is moist, however, it could be juicier.

Cheese:

Tons of pimento cheese, finally not Kraft Singles. The cheese has flava', though I wish it was more melty.

Sauce:

Not overly saucy, just some mayo, not a huge dealio with all the cheese on here.

Vegetables:

There is one vegetable, it is onions, it is divine. They say caramelized, but they are not, they haven't developed the sweetness. They are softened, and they, simply put, are goddamned delicious. The little bastards are bursting with flavour. I find myself picking them off my plate after the burger is done. That's a beautiful thang.

Other:

Good service, cozy atmosphere, eclectic music playing.
