Phil Noe was tiring of watching the Grove's bar crowd zip by his Mia Rosa restaurant (4501 Manchester) in search of that hangover-mitigating late-night nosh, so he decided to do something about it: every Thurdsay, Friday and Saturday night, one bay of Mia Rosa is stripped of its tablecloths and stemware to become Satellite, a late-night diner serving vittles that rise above the greasy-spoon connotation (this ain't no Barry Levinson movie!). Coffee's even better...Joe's Special Blend from Chauvin instead of standard diner dreck.
From basic breakfast to Bananas Foster French Toast, from Huevos to Instant Heartburn (a chili-topped omelet with jalapenos, salsa, chorizo and cheese), it's all yours from 11:30 PM - "the wee hours," which at present is 4 AM or later. For more info, call 314-601-3676...and ask for Phil, not Flo. -- George Mahe
