We St. Louisans love our food and how it’s served. Committing any of these seven food faux-pas might make people question your judgement. We will for sure tell you how it should be served! Take a look below and see if you’re guilty of any of these:
- Ordering your house Italian Dressing on the side.

- Eating anything but corned beef on St. Patrick’s Day.

- Not serving pork steaks at your holiday BBQ.

- Not drinking your beer ice cold.

- Six Flags without a turkey leg.

- Work day wings must be trashed.

- It’s just called pizza here; not thin crust.
kbh3rd - Wiki Commons Our pizzas are thin, cut into squares, and loaded with Provel. Ordering any other kind of crust is okay - if you must for out of town company.
These are just a few mistakes no St. Louisan should ever make. Have you seen a St. Louisan make a worse food faux-pas? Share the story with us!
