St. Louis | Busch Stadium | Bob Costas | Annie Gunn
Kurt Warner's St. Louis
by
Mark Seal"Annie Gunn's is my favorite steakhouse. They have a great
barbecued shrimp appetizer. It is a little place with great
atmosphere just outside of town on the west side of Chesterfield, a
suburb of St. Louis. There's a place next to it called the Smoke
House. They have any kind of takeout meat. We love a little Mexican
restaurant called Salina's. It's a small place, authentic Mexican.
Down in University City, which is more artsy, with movie theaters
that have the cutting-edge, foreign-type feel, there's The Melting
Pot, a fondue restaurant."
NIGHTLIFE
"The Fox Theatre is a famous old-time theater in U City with
balconies where you can sit overlooking the stage. They've got
musical performances and Broadway shows that travel. I've seen Aida
there. We went and saw
Robin Williams there a few weeks back. Bob
Costas has held his extravaganza to raise money for the Children's
Hospital at The Fox as well."
SATURDAY
BREAKFAST
"First Watch, a little place that only serves breakfast and lunch,
is one of my favorite places. I like their skillets, with fried
potatoes on the bottom, which they mix with whatever ingredients. I
usually get a turkey and vegetable skillet with three eggs over
easy on the top. That's my place. I love breakfast and my wife
doesn't, so we don't get it much. Whenever I get a chance, I sneak
out to First Watch. The waitress will come up to me and say, 'You
want the regular?' And they know it's the turkey skillet."
SIGHTS
"The Arch is great, a must-see. You can actually go inside it.
There's a little museum about St. Louis on the lower half. Then you
can ride small elevators that go all the way to the top. There are
windows at the top where you can look out and see all of downtown
St. Louis. It's especially neat if you go at night with the city
all lit up. Then, there's
Busch Stadium, with all of the history
and great tradition that goes along with it. Obviously, this is a
baseball town, and Busch Stadium is a great place to enjoy a
game."
