- When we last heard from Larry Lampert and his daughter, Angie, late last year, they had shuttered Lampert's Plush Pig Barbecue (2811 South McKnight Road, Rock Hill; 314-961-8888). Now, George Mahe of St. Louis Magazine reports that the Lamperts -- specifically, Angie -- are opening a new venture: Mr. Lunch will serve sandwiches and salads at 11658 Dorsett Road in Maryland Heights, the space formerly occupied by Foxy's Red Hots.
