Spoon #27: Billie's Fine Foods

ST LOUIS SLINGER SAMPLER PART II

Our Saint Louis Slinger Sampler continued at Billie's Fine Foods in the industrial neighborhood of Kosciusko.  Surrounded by warehouses, rail yards, and factories, I think of Billie's as a workin' man's diner:


As you might expect, they serve up a mighty fine Slinger: thick Texas toast, piled with meaty chili... this was the Slinger of my dreams!

And here is brand new (to us) Spoon #27:



#27 is marked "Bakers & Chefs", "736", and bears the safety mark of NSF International.  This spoon is just like Spoon Numero Uno, which we swapped at another fine diner, George's Coffee Shop on 164th street! 

By the way, those folks at NSF are tirelessly working to protect you.  For example, it looks like they just released some timely tips on preventing food poisoning while tailgating this football season.  Watch your marinades, Spoon Swappers!
