The front door at Kitchen Clayton
In October, there were two closings versus 22 openings, relocations, and reopenings—a contrast that's beyond impressive. Des Peres gets a long-awaited Mexican restaurant (Casa de Tres Reyes). Kirkwood now has a much-anticipated biscuit shop (Honey Bee’s Biscuits + Good Eats). Ladue adds a taco shop (Ladue Taco). In Rock Hill, a Nashville hot chicken shop opened (Chuck’s Hot Chicken). And in Clayton, there's now a blink-and-you'll-miss-it, four-concept ghost kitchen (Kitchen Clayton). Finally, there's Ben Poremba's 34-seat Bar Moro, which opened in the Billie-Jean space, as well as Nobu's, which relocated to the Loop and offers omakase dinners at three price points.
