I don't think the area is a food wasteland.. just not very many good restaurants in Springfield. I do quite well for finding exotic and/or fresh ingredients, but I'd like to go out to eat sometimes and get inspiration. I was very spoiled with the great yet still reasonable-priced restaurants back home in Vancouver. I do know that there are some very good restaurants in St. Louis, but I mostly just go to St. Louis to catch a plane.

Svadhisthana: we should go on a foodie trip to St. Louis instead!

Helloooo from across the Mississippi in Southeast Missouri! I am also chatting when I should be . . . working . . . but, hey, the kids are watching a film . . . and ChefTalk is SO much FUN!

Shroomgirl: We were in St. Louis Saturday for the Van Gogh exhibit--went over to Delmar to Blueberry Hill--wanted very much to find your market, but time did not permit. However, I have been promised a trip there later this summer. Gotta get school out first!

True, there would be much more to do in St. Louis. I haven't been down since last July. I want to check out the farmer's market too.

BTW, our Farmer's Market downtown is on Saturdays and Wednesdays thruout the summer, beginning at the end of this month. The healthfood store is Food Fantasies Naturaly on Wabash.
