Mexican cuisine is having a moment in St. Louis right now, and chef Alex Henry is a major part of that movement. Since opening his City Foundry food stall, Sureste, in 2021 and following up with his outstanding sit-down restaurant, El Molino del Sureste, two years later, Henry has been setting the bar for regional Mexican cuisine. A native of the Yucatán city Mérida, Henry celebrates the region’s cuisine at El Molino del Sureste with thrilling results—and earned himself a James Beard Awards semifinalist nomination for Best Chef: Midwest in the process. He shares his passion for Yucatecan cuisine with George and Cheryl, as well as his take on why St. Louis diners are so eager to experience traditional Mexican dishes.

Dubai chocolate and dirty sodas. Truffle fries and tomahawk steaks. It seems like every day there is another food trend coming across our feeds—but are they worth the hype?

And in a rare detour from the way things typically operate at Arch Eats, there’s quite a bit of disagreement. Listen and follow Arch Eats on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever podcasts are available.

This week on Arch Eats, George and Cheryl have some breaking news about one of St. Louis’ most anticipated restaurants. Ever since he first announced his revolving sushi restaurant and ramen bar, Sakatanoya, owner Anthony Wang has been the talk of the town—and for good reason. The forthcoming restaurant, which will soon open in the Delmar Loop, is the most novel place to open in St. Louis in recent memory, and the hosts get the inside scoop on everything from its double-tier, all-you-can-eat sushi conveyor belt, robot waiters, wild cocktail concept and its official opening date. It’s an episode you won’t want to miss about what’s sure to be the hottest spot in town. Listen and follow Arch Eats on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever podcasts are available.

Is craft beer dead? If you listen to local beer lovers’ chatter, read recent articles in the national press, or watch with sadness as some of the area’s most beloved craft breweries either close or struggle, you might think the answer is yes. However, SLM’s resident beer expert Jordan Palmer is here to set the record straight. In this episode, Jordan, an Emmy award-winning producer and writer of SLM’s craft beer newsletter, joins George and Cheryl to share his thoughts on why craft beer is very much alive—and quite possibly better than ever. And non-beer drinkers, do not fret! Jordan also dishes on some unexpected suggestions that prove there truly is a craft beer for everyone. Listen and follow Arch Eats on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever podcasts are available. And Be sure to subscribe to SLM’s Craft Beer newsletter written by Jordan Palmer below.

Bad lighting and too-loud music. Servers on cellphones and wobbly tables. We all have our restaurant pet peeves—just as restaurants have their gripes about customers. This week, Arch Eats hosts George Mahe and Cheryl Baehr are devoting the entire episode to its most popular segment, the microrant. They’ll good-naturedly dish on restaurants’ biggest offenses and, to keep things even, share what restaurants wish their guests would stop doing, all in the spirit of making the experience of dining out more pleasant for everyone involved. Listen and follow Arch Eats on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever podcasts are available.
