Lester's Sports Bar & Grill-Ladue

In spite of its swanky Ladue address, Lester Miller's encore to Busch's Grove doesn't venture too far from the standard sports-bar menu. You'll find lots of finger food to munch on, including chips with smoky homemade salsa and excellent sweet potato fries. The house specialties are barbecue -- especially very good beef brisket -- and deli sandwiches. Pastrami and corned beef are cured in-house and are available in multiple combinations, including a "triple decker" that exceeds $20 and could feed an ox. Then again, there are so many flat-screen TV sets here, you might not notice what you're eating.
