Iron Barley

Going back to Man VS Food, we again followed Adam Richman to a local eating establishment called The Iron Barley.  It features an array of food for such a small place, and I do mean small, but it is well worth the wait.  My husband and I had to try what we saw on TV and that was something called the monte cristo dog, it is a grilled hot dog with melted cheese and jelly, (yep jelly), it was awesome. I got an order of the chicken pasta and it left me wishing I had four stomachs to put it in.  The pasta is the wagon wheel, big chucks of chicken, and the cheesiest and creamiest sauce ever.  I have never seen this place before until travel channel stopped by and I'm glad they did, this is truly a diamond in the rough.  Located at 5510 Virginia Ave, St. Louis Mo, 63111   Hours Mon-Thu 11am-10pm  Fri-Sat 11am-11pm  Phone 314-351-4500 
If I'm not mistaken I believe they do have live music on certain days.  Anyway this has to be one of the most
interesting places I've ever had the pleasure to eat at.  So what are you waiting for  Get Your Grub On!!

Pappy's Smoke House

Looking for great bar-b-que, then look no further than Pappy's Smoke House.  My husband and I love to watch Man vs. Food on the travel channel, so when Adam Richman came to St. Louis we made sure to pay attention to where he went.  This is no ordinary bar-b-que place, there's picnic tables inside, everyone sits with everyone, rolls of paper towels at the table, and even Pappy himself comes to see how your doing and will spend a good 15-20min just talking to ya.  Of course when we went we had to get The Adam Bomb, you can feed at least 6 people with this, a full slab of ribs, a beef brisket and  a pork sandwich, 1/4 chicken, 4 sides, and a hot link frito pie, all this costs $42.99, which really isn't bad if you are feeding 6 people.  I sat down with all this food and was just in awe of how much there was.  But everything was soo good, tender, juicy, and just finger licking.  I am so glad we went here, there is a down side to Pappy's, they only make a certain amount of meat, once it's gone the doors close so get there early.  They are located at 3106 Olive St.  St. Louis, Mo. 63103 and you can get a carry out but you need to call 314-535-4340.  They have their menu on their web site at Pappyssmokehouse.com.  Don't just sit there GET YOUR GRUB ON!!
