LeGrand’s Market & Catering sells some of the best sandwiches in town

Sauce 75: the essential St. Louis restaurants right now

This family-owned and -operated deli and market has been pushing out some of the city’s best sandwiches and subs for over 25 years. They know what they’re talking about when they suggest that the marriage of chicken, ham, pepperoni, gruyere, pepper cheese, onions and creamy hot sauce is a happy one. And there’s a certain joy to any sandwich that includes LeGrand’s olive tapenade or roasted red pepper sauce, as the Italian Stallion or the Edmonds respectively demonstrate. The top seller is the Legend Club: turkey, bacon, pastrami, pepperoni and hot peppers with the delightful addition of house-whipped garlic cream cheese for the clincher. You can also grab steaks, brats, sliced meats and sides from the deli counter, or take home one of LeGrand’s pizzas from the freezer cabinet.

The Sauce 75 is a photomosaic of the best in St. Louis dining in 2024. This list is a celebration of the diverse skills, techniques and culinary traditions that meet across our region. In sum, it tells a story about where St. Louis has been, where it is now and where it’s going next. Many great and good St. Louis restaurants have not made the cut. (Seventy-five is a lot fewer than you think!) Restaurants are constantly growing and evolving and go through ups and downs. Newly opened restaurants can take time to find their feet: There are a few exciting new places we’re cheering for, but which we feel haven’t yet fully hit their stride. Read the entire list here.
