Gee, I guess this would work OK.
I’ve been doing it the old-fashioned way: I ask locals where they eat. Seems like there’s always plenty of them around.
Or you could just visit yelp.com and click on St. Louis. It’s free, and probably a lot more helpful that a book that can become outdated rather quickly.
Best advice I found is to ask a postal person. My wife and I had one of the greatest lunches in Santa Fe by asking a Postal Lady. She told of a little Restaurant called The Shed and we ended up having lunch and then went back the next day for dinner. It’s one of our favorite restaurants.
