“We got to learn what St. Louis’ dining culture is really all about. Insert the cuisine here, but I think it’s really about supporting small, independent businesses. That’s not just food. It goes for so many different facets of the marketplace here. People really want to support local. They want to see you succeed in a way that I think makes it unique to open a business in a place like St. Louis.”
