advice to Final Four fans visiting St. Louis from out of town.

What to eat: There are four basic food groups in St. Louis:
(1) Budweiser; (2) toasted ravioli ...

Toasted ravioli?!?!?!?

Oh, god yes. The Italian neighborhood in St. Louis is called
The Hill, probably because it *is* a hill ;-), and so far as
I know toasted ravioli originated in the restaurants there.

Freshly made raviolini (I think the little guys fry up better)
stuffed with asiago, mozarella and Italian sausage, dunked in
milk then dredged in fine bread crumbs. Let them sit for a
couple of hours then fry them in the deep fryer or a few at a
time in a couple inches of oil in a frying pan. Serve with a
spicy marinara sauce and pass the parmesan. Wonderful stuff,
I think I'm getting homesick.
