Imo's Pizza in St. Louis

I grew up in St. Louis and on provel cheese. I like Imo's, but St. Louis has better pizza places that use provel as their cheese topping.

I also grew up with White Castle hamburgers, and can't get enough of those, either.

It's hard to convert adults to these different flavors.

Cook the Book: 'Crescent City Cooking'

I haven't had a chance to revisit New Orleans for a decade now, after having fallen in love with their food. So I've taken to cooking it myself. Being in the Midwest, I have to have my andouille, shrimp, and crawfish shipped to me to get the real authentic flavors.

My favorite dish is fried catfish smothered with crawfish etouffee. It captures so many cajun flavors all in one. I accompany it with baked rice to soak up the juices.

Imo's Pizza in St. Louis

Having been born and raised in St. Louis our favorite whenever we come back is pizza from Ponticello's Italian Restaraunt in Spanish Lake, north St. Louis county. It also uses Provel cheese, which we bring back also bought from Dierburg's or Schnucks, sliced thin with paper in between each slice. Ponticello's makes a really good, thin crust pizza and has wonderful Italian sausage and the world's best onion rings! There used to be at least 5 Ponticello's but now only 1. It's family run and as soon as it opens there's a line to get in.

I've never had a favorite and therefore would love to develop one. I dont think I've ever had any Jewish food.
