This week Meera and Liz discuss the annual Food and Wine Magazine's Best New Chefs feature, which this year put Stephen Pursley of Menya Rui on their list. He joins four other local chefs that have also been awarded the same honor in years past. They talked about recent dinners from Taco Buddha and also Sunday Best, which is an evolution from the now-closed Juniper from chef and owner John Perkins, which he closed in July. Finally, they talk about essential St. Louis cocktails from three bars that have helped to elevate the local cocktail culture.
