Grits with chicken mole at Squatters Cafe
3524 Washington Avenue; 314-925-7556
Grits so creamy they'd bring a tear to the eye of a Southern grandma would normally be the star of the show, but here they share equal billing with a pull-apart chicken mole. Unlike the rich, chocolatey style often favored by local restaurants, this version is more delicate and cinnamon-forward, as if chicken jus was turned into a baking-spiced pan sauce. Squatter's changes the topping for the grits on a regular basis, so you won't always get to feast on this wonderful chicken. That provides an opportunity to see more of what the chefs can do, though it also means not having daily access to this transcendent mole.
