Stephanie

Stephanie runs @stlwithsteph, a St. Louis lifestyle and food creator whose map mixes restaurants with the festivals, stadium nights, and date-night rooms that actually fill a local calendar. A former corporate professional turned full-time creator, she covers St. Louis proper along with Florissant, Chesterfield, St. Charles, Ballwin, Clayton, Webster Groves, and O'Fallon, Illinois — with travel bites that stretch to New Orleans when Creole cooking is on the itinerary.

Her highest-rated picks lean toward places worth dressing up for or planning around: DD Mau Vietnamese Eatery in Webster Groves ("the BEST"), French Crêperie in Chesterfield, The Salted Lime and Grandma's Cookies in St. Charles, Carretas in Ballwin, iNDO downtown, 1904 Steak House at River City Casino, and Pan D'Olive — a restaurant she has called a favorite. Caribbean and Cajun run through the feed too, from Bliss Restaurant and Calypso Spirits Bar to Sister Cities Cajun and the city's Mardi Gras cook-offs, alongside brunch stops like Short Stacks in Florissant and Kingside Diner in Clayton.

Stephanie's reviews feel like a friend putting you on: she talks through the order, pins the address, and is just as likely to be covering a food fest or a dinner-and-a-movie night as a weeknight bowl. She has said out loud that if it's Cajun, she's there — and the Social Foodie profile backs that up with Creole events and Caribbean kitchens alongside the Italian, Mexican, Vietnamese, and steakhouse picks.
