This week on the Sauce podcast: Good Company in the Grove, Southwest Diner and more

This week's episode is brought to you by YES.TEA, a new line of hard teas from the team behind 4 Hands Brewing Co.

This week on the Sauce podcast, Michelle and Meera discuss the newly opened Good Company in the Grove, where they are making delicious cocktails with their premium ice. They also discuss the star of the menu: The Good Burger, which is made from ground brisket and chuck, topped with gooey American cheese and thick-cut bacon.

Also in the conversation was a recent visit to Revel Kitchen, where the salad actually keeps you full; a jaunt to Wright’s Tavern in Clayton where the crab cake, wine and sundae make for a perfect night out and a birthday brunch at Southwest Diner in Maplewood where the cornmeal pancakes still reign supreme.

From the May issue they chat about Apéro Hour, a feature that highlights six new spots that are aiming to serve small plates, wine and cocktails. Also in the conversation are the many genius riffs on the spicy margarita at local bars in St. Louis.
