When it comes to barbecue, St. Louis isn't as famous as Kansas City or Memphis-yet. But the Gateway City is experiencing a live fire renaissance. Famous here are plate-burying pork steaks and eponymous spareribs (trimmed, rubbed, and slow-smoked over applewood). And get ready for a Project Fire first: grilled toasted ravioli (really) with fire-roasted marinara sauce.
Guests include John Matthews from Pappy's Smokehouse, and David Sandusky from Beast.
