“I think places tend to play it a little safe sometimes. And that’s great. But for me, I love going that extra mile, seeing if we can get this extra thing done with the last 10, 15 minutes, and really go above and beyond. And I really feel like we did that.” —Chef Chris Arnold

He began reviewing restaurants for St. Louis Magazine 35 years ago under the pseudonym “Arnie Boye” (a tribute to his dog) and became the magazine’s first dining editor in 1992. His fair and balanced approach spawned a local restaurant consulting company, and further ventures in ownership. In 2006, he returned to SLM. George spearheads the magazine’s dining coverage, curates the weekly Dining Out newsletter, and co-hosts the Arch Eats podcast. George lives in University City with his wife, Suzi.
