Early immigrants to the area brought their German, Italian and Polish delicacies with them, and the tradition of infusing different cultures into the so-called American cuisine has evolved with new arrivals from Bosnia, Ethiopia, Africa, Asia, Latin America and throughout Europe. These tasty additions accent St. Louis’ eclectic culinary culture and spice up our Midwestern gumbo of cultures and styles. Area wineries produce award-winning vintages, and if you throw in the region’s own unique contributions to the culinary landscape— toasted ravioli, gooey butter cake and frozen custard “concretes”—you’ve got one heck of a meal. 70 The Official St. Louis Visitors Guide F ASIA AT LUMIÈRE PLACE CASINO & HOTELS Asian restaurant featuring a unique fusion of Vietnamese, Mandarin and Cantonese cuisine. 999 N.
