Sauce Magazine released its January Hit List of five new restaurants to start off 2022 right, whether you’re eating in-person or ordering takeout.
Sauce Executive Editor Meera Nagarajan joined Tuesday’s St. Louis on the Air to rave about the magazine’s staff picks for January. Nagarajan also discussed a peculiar trend in the St. Louis restaurant scene: local eateries recreating Taco Bell’s iconic Crunchwrap Supreme, often with vegetarian or vegan ingredients. Nagarajan promised that all versions meet “the crunch factor” but said vegan pop-up 12oh7 comes the closest to replicating the fast-food item.
