St. Louis Rotisserie

Rotisserie chicken might not be sexy, but at St. Louis Rotisserie it's a pleasant surprise: The chickens aren't supermarket commodities bagged and then left out to dry beneath a heat lamp. Instead they're roasted over a fire of oak and cherry wood, resulting in blackened skin that's rich with flavor - smoky, of course, but with a welcome citric tang. Dark meat, especially, is delicious. The chicken is a good value, too: Half a chicken plus two sides goes for $7.95. A generous serving of barbecue beef brisket comes with a dark, subtly spicy sauce.
