After closing through the winter months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a St. Louis favorite is opening their doors once again. Bogart's, the Soulard staple and sister restaurant to the internationally-renowned Pappy's Smokehouse, serving customers once again.

To celebrate, we are re-airing our 100th episode, where we talked to John Matthews, co-founder of Pappy's and the restaurant group that has made St. Louis BBQ world famous.

Pappy's was founded in 2008 by Matthews and Mike Emmerson, and since then they have become a sensation.

The Food Network named their ribs the best in America, and the walls of the restaurant are filled with testimonials from athletes, musicians, actors, and other celebrities, all of whom can't come to town without a tase of St. Louis' most famous BBQ joint.

Meet St. Louis sat down with Matthews to talk about how the restaurant got started, what it was like when they first opened, and how they prepare 3,000-4,000 pounds of food every day.

Sit back, plug in, and enjoy!
