Some visitors have commented that our hours seem a bit odd and that sometimes we are closed when they arrive. I'd like to explain so that our visitors understand why that sometimes occurs. Mama Josephine's is all about my mom. The restaurant is a tribute to her; a way of showing my love for her and sharing her wonderful recipes. It is a small place where hospitality is one of the spices we use in every dish. It is a small place though; too small to sustain a decent income for my staff if I were to draw any type of income from it. Because I am a research scientist and have other obligations at times, and occasionally my staff has to be out for some reason, the restaurant is closed during what for us would be normal business hours. We always put a message on the phone, post to FB, and on Nextdoor so that our visitors can be made aware when this occurs. I know it's a pain, but please understand. I want to share my mom's wonderful food and we make every effort to be there if at all possible, but sometimes it just can't happen. Thank you for your continued visits and for sharing your time with us. Happy Eating! Mary
Britt Tate Beaugard has taken charge of her kitchen and is now doing small weddings, special events and more out of her kitchen. Eventually she hopes to build enough enough customers to open a store front in South City St Louis!
The story of Absolutely Perfect Sauce & Seasoning started over 30 years ago in St. Louis Missouri. When Ken Mellow purchased his first kettle grill, the journey to creating these award winning flavors started. Ken wanted to create BBQ flavors that compliment traditional BBQ while also being exciting and innovative. After years of perfecting recipes in the backyard, Absolutely Perfect Sauce & Seasoning debuted on the BBQ competition circuit in 2006. To date, these Sauces & Seasonings have won awards at the biggest events in barbecue, both locally and on the national level. It is with great pleasure that we are able to offer our family's secret award winning flavors to you. As we continue to develop new products, we draw on the foundation that Ken laid while looking for ways to raise the bar to new levels. Please enjoy these flavors in your backyard or in the heat of competition.
Healthy and delicious bread! We freshly grind all our wheat just before baking. This business venture is part of a master's level nutrition and dietetics course at Saint Louis University. Created by Lorraine and Karen, dietetic interns and master's students. All baking is done through Saint Louis University's Fresh Gatherings.
As Red Fox, Jenny, Chris, and Jake built an brick oven together in the backyard of delightful South City grocery, Grove East Provisions. There they bake naturally-fermented artisan loaves and scrumptious pastries to be sold in-house and all around town. We fire up our oven and bake Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Find our stuff all week long at Grove East Provisions! Also available at Local Harvest and City Greens, and a handful of restaurants around town. To the staff of life!
