Now, we're not going to go judging a book by its cover, but due to the fact that upon leaving the Church, the intricacies of Scientology were still a bit of a mystery, we continue to view it with a critical eye. The heavy press coverage of those who claim they were duped and cheated by Scientology is also difficult to ignore. But the most important thing is that we took time to set previous prejudices aside and to learn about a new way of viewing the world. (0) comments

If you have a hankering for some great corned beef or salami on fresh kosher rye, St. Louis is often not the first place you would think to look. New York, home to the infamous Katz's Deli, or Ann Arbor, birthplace of the amazing Zingerman's, come more readily to mind as Meccas of these delicious cold cuts. It was to our great excitement and surprise, then, when a St. Louis eatery was featured over the summer on the Food Network's "Best of" Delicatessen episode. (0) comments
