<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> St. Louis is a food town, and there are many restaurants that have captured the heart of the city. Some of them are no longer around. Rossino's low ceilings and even lower pipes didn't stop the pizza-hungry residents from crowding in. Jefferson Avenue Boa <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "While the restaurant scene in St. Louis has certainly grown, blossomed and more than transcended what it was 45 years ago, many old favorites have been lost. <p/><br>But thanks to Ann Lemons Pollack, they are not forgotten. <p/><br>Lemons Pollack turns back time in "Lost Restaurants of St. Louis" (American Palate, $21.99) a collection of more than 50 now-shuttered eateries that had been part of the local culinary landscape once upon a time. <p/><br>Regardless of whether you're a foodie or local history buff, or just wanting to soak up some nostalgia, "Lost Restaurants" serves up a culinary trip back in time as satisfying as comfort food." <i>STL Jewish Light</i> </br></br>"""Few St. Louisans know the history of the St. Louis food scene like local food and travel writer Ann Lemons Pollack. That was certainly true before she embarked on writing her latest book, Lost Restaurants of St. Louis, released in late November. <p/><br>The book is a treasure trove for St. Louis history-lovers, beginning with an extensively researched look at the food served at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition - better known as the 1904 World's Fair - hosted in St. Louis. She debunks some myths - hot dogs were not "invented" at the fair, but perhaps found a wide audience there - and charts the various restaurants and cafes that fed eager fairgoers."" <i>Feast Magazine</i>" <p/> </br></br>"""Pollack blended her personal memories and experiences with those of others. Mixing in a hearty helping of history, seasoned with information gleaned from a mortuary of menus, which stretched from late 19th-century culinary landmarks such as Tony Faust's Oyster House to mid-century burger dives as Wild's Palace of Poison.The result: a delicious read that leaves one hungry for the past. Thanks to the stories Pollack spins, providing tasting tidbits about landmark establishments as The Pelican, famous for its turtle soup, built by brewer Anton Griesedieck, and legendary restaurateurs as Tony Faust. <p/><br>Lost Restaurants of St. Louis reflects the city's historic diversity with a geographic mix and price points, a nice mix which strikes an appealing balance.""<i>Gazelle Magazine</i>" <p/> </br></br>"Pollack provides a charming, nostalgic and informative tour of St. Louis restaurant history." <i>West End Word</i> <p/>
