With so many St. Louis restaurants serving high-quality, affordable fare, they devoted a follow-up episode to restaurants that serve authentic, reasonably priced international cuisine, whether in a fast-casual format or via table service.

This episode is sponsored by The Magic House and supported by the St. Louis Food Truck Association.

Travel the world at The Magic House with “Namaste India!” where you can immerse yourself in Indian culture, and explore the newest exhibit, "Alma’s Way: Welcome to My Neighborhood," based on the PBS Kids’ series. Plan your visit at magichouse.org.
