  Lucero at Off Broadway, 12/7/10
  After an animated introduction by the illustrious Beatle Bob, Lucero spared no time at heating up Off Broadway.

  Snarf's Sandwiches
  This is indicative of Snarf's as a whole. There are no bells and whistles, no clever names. The steak and provolone, the beef brisket, the eggplant Parmesan: These are simply very good sandwiches, notable not because they are new, but because the shop makes the extra effort to make them better....

  Monotonix at the Gargoyle

  Mosaic Bistro Market
  The rabbit-leg "daube" was the most appealing dish on the menu of Mosaic Bistro Market. Thumper is largely absent from St. Louis restaurants, and this preparation promised braised bunny with the intriguing addition of merguez sausage. I ordered it only to learn that it was gone — not sold out,...

  Usher at the Scottrade Center
  The St. Louis stop on Usher's OMG Tour began with the magician's best trick: misdirection. While a troupe of hip-hop Cylons danced amid a vaguely dystopian stage set, Usher himself was levitated on a floating riser near the rear of the floor, coasting above the crowd as he sang this year's...

  The Market Grill: A Pig Flies in Soulard
  The menu tries to distinguish itself by offering a little bit of everything. The "wings" share space on the appetizer board with actual hot wings, fried crawfish tails (too heavily battered) and even bulgogi, the Korean dish of grilled marinated beef. Click here for Ian Froeb's full review of...
