So next month I will be traveling to St. Louis, for my first time ever, on business for a conference. I will be there from Monday until Friday mid-day/evening.

Basically I am open to any place that is somewhat local. I will be staying at the Drury Inn that is close to the Arch, so places within a close proximity to that would be nice.

No place is out of question and I am willing to pretty much try anything. My favorite foods tend to be diner and bar food but I also want to be willing to branch out and try local things.

If anybody has any recommendations for local joints that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks ahead!
