A colleague of mine is spending four months in St.Louis.  His in-laws will be in town this weekend.  They like good food...price is no object.  In trying to find a restaurant for them, my friend asked me two questions.

1. What is the best restaurant in St.Louis assuming that price is no object?

   I suggested Tonys and Fios.

2. What is the best restaurant that is part of the St.Louis tradition?
   I suggested Tonys.

Other thoughts?

Tony's,  Al's, Kemolls, Cunetto HoP,

Not in the "best restaurant" but certainly in the St. L tradition would be Uncle Bill's Pancake House, White Castle, and Hodges Chili Parlor - just in case they would like to see how the other half lives!
