OHOP, already a hit in Chesterfield, comes to Colonial Marketplace in Clayton and Ladue.
Pancake purists rejoice! There is now another Original Pancake House in the St. Louis area.

You walk in, and you’ll be surprised." The menu is the…

The owner of a popular Clayton pizzeria ran a successful Kickstarter to help her open a second restaurant.
Katie Lee, chef at Katie’s Pizzeria, ran a succesful Kickstarter campaign to raise $40,000 for a restaurant in Rock Hill. She announced the location Thursday evening. Katie's Pizza and Pasta will be at 9568 Manchester Road, the Kickstarter supporters were told in an email. Work on the space began on Friday. Katie's Pizzeria has been in the news a few times lately, including on March 21 when Patch first reported about a customer who said she found a dead mouse in a salad.

One of the new owners prepared food for 'high-profile people' on movie sets in California. Infused elixirs will be offered.
A new raw vegan café is set to open in Clayton’s DeMun neighborhood this spring. The Clayton Board of Aldermen approved the opening of Seedz Café, at 6344 S. Rosebury Avenue, at the Feb. 26 meeting. The owners, Montgomery Gralnick and Cara Schloss, originally from St. Louis, are coming from California. Gralnick said he prepared food for high-profile people who were very specific about the nutritional content of their diet. It was part of the work he did on movie sets, which he was involved in on the West Coast. “As life would have it, it has brought us back to the area, bearing, hopefully gifts of nutrition and wellness,” Gralnick said. He said they’ll serve juices and something new to St. Louis. “I’ll say smoothies, but we’re going to …

The brewpub is on Clayton Avenue near the intersection of Tamm Avenue.
Brothers Jarid and Justin Safell expect their Dogtown brewpub, Heavy Riff Brewing Company, to be open by St. Patrick's Day, Feast Magazine reports. The maple wood bar is built, and will soon have the finish of an old violin. It will also have electrical outlets within easy reach of anyone on a bar stool. That's so anyone with a low cell phone battery can plug and and stay for another beer, Justin Safell told Patch. Jarid Safell told Feast about some of their beers. “Every Halloween we release our Evil Pumpkin Imperial Porter, and we're really excited about that, of course,” Jarid Safell says. “There's also our American Slang with orange peel and honey. It's our unique vibe on classic style American pale ale.” Eight or nine of the pub's 15 …

Alderman Tom Kramer said negotiations for the restaurant have reopened.
It's known that an 8,000 square foot restaurant will sit next to the under construction Drury Inn and Suites hotel in Brentwood, but it's still not determined what it will be.

But now a second restaurant is in the running. "Since that announcement by Drury, negotiations have reopened for the possibility of a different restaurant. Those negotiations have not yet concluded," Kramer said. "The other possibility is a known, but very popular brand in Missouri. We would be happy to have either…
