Steven Raichlen's Project Fire

Raichlen Grills St. Louis

When it comes to barbecue, St. Louis isn't as famous as Kansas City or Memphis-yet. But the Gateway City is experiencing a live fire renaissance. Famous here are plate-burying pork steaks and eponymous spareribs (trimmed, rubbed, and slow-smoked over applewood). And get ready for a Project Fire first: grilled toasted ravioli (really) with fire-roasted marinara sauce. ST. LOUIS PORK STEAKS; GRILLED RAVIOLI WITH SMOKED-ROASTED TOMATO SAUCE; ST. LOUIS RIBS WITH RIVER CITY BARBECUE SAUCE. Guests: John Matthews - Pappy's Smokehouse, David Sandusky - Beast.
