ARE YOU HUNGRY, CHESTERFIELD? We’re sure you will be when you read—or should we say devour—this issue, the most drool-worthy one of the year: the Foodie issue! We love to indulge and scour the streets to be introduced to the most delicious places, people and plates. We found plenty of material to fill these pages and feed your soul. We are excited to showcase some of the sensational local flavors and global cuisines in town and around the city as we are a truly a dining destination. While we don’t like to play favorites, the Foodie issue is near and dear to our hearts. After all, food is not only nourishing (and delicious) but it also brings people together—whether it’s a special anniversary dinner, a much-needed lunch break with coworkers, a friend’s birthday party or even a casual weeknight meal with family. Food is often considered one of life’s great pleasures. Consider this issue your foodie guide featuring the best places to satisfy your

TOWARD ACHIEVING FUTURE GOALS. “Circumstances, such as poverty, racism, substance abuse, absent parents and other family struggles make it significantly tougher for some young people to navigate successfully into independent adulthood,” says Bob Stergos, who along with his wife, Chrissy, founded the St. Louis-based nonprofit, A Seat at the Table. In 2014, Chrissy says she and Bob sensed God urging them to expand on the vision He’d given them about assisting others by sharing their home and inviting others into their family, perhaps providing housing assistance, resources, educational support, vocational assistance and emotional and spiritual counseling. Bob and Chrissy already knew a little something about lending support. They have four sons by birth, so their house was pretty full. However, in 2001, the family was

six-course tasting menu and wine flights. It offers just one seating of up to 40 guests and one seasonal tasting menu a night. The prix fixe menu changes every month and offers an opportunity to embrace classically prepared European fare, focusing on the regions of southern France and northern Italy. Coined the hardest reservation to secure in the area, Stone Soup Cottage brings seasonal elegance, hospitality and fine, French-inspired cuisine to guests night after night. Stone Soup Cottage is open for dinner Thursday through Saturday evenings. Due to the intimate atmosphere of the cottage, space is limited to 10 guests or less per table. However, with Thanksgiving and other special, seasonal gathering dates around the corner, Carl reminds that October is a perfect time to secure reservations for holiday and company parties for Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday evenings. A private group meal on one of these three evenings must include 15 or more guests, and providing a least a week’s notice will enhance various date selection availability.

place to dine this fall season? On Sept. 20, 2013, Stone Soup Cottage relocated to the Wiese Farm, approximately one mile away from its original location. It was the next logical step for this farm-to-fork restaurant to be located on the very property that supplies the majority of their produce. The McConnells then purchased 6 1/2 acres overlooking the fields and ponds. The current restaurant sits on the exact location where the Wiese Family barn stood. The original 1930s barn was carefully dismantled pieceby-piece and repurposed in the new structure. “It was important to use as much of the original barn into the new home of Stone Soup Cottage once it was learned the barn could not be saved,” Carl says. Stone Soup Cottage guests now experience an intimate dining approach while enjoying breathtaking views of surrounding farm. 636.244.2233 StoneSoupCottage.com October 2019 | Chesterfield Lifestyle

ARTICLE CHRISTINE FRISELLA PHOTOGRAPHY DESIGNER: STEPHANIE POHLMAN OCTOBER IS HERE! And with it comes chilly weather, colorful leaves, and cozy fires to snuggle next to. But, the change in weather does not mean you have to redecorate your entire house to fit with the season. Designer Stephanie Pohlman, of Stephanie Pohlman Designs, shows us how adding just a touch of plaid can make your home ready for fall. For your entryway, add in a pop of color with an orange and plaid throw. In the sitting area, swap out your pillows for that cozy feel. And in the dining room, change out your table settings to include plaid napkins. These small and simple touches will catch that fall season from outside and bring it right into your home.

PARTING THOUGHTS VITO'S BRINGS BACK SICILY'S SECRETS
Tracking the Tastes of Italy ARTICLE JULIE BROWN PATTON PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY: VITO'S IN THE VALLEY
The LaFata family in Italy
IS IT REALLY AN ITALIAN MEAL IF PIZZA OR PASTA ISN’T INCLUDED? Well, in Sicily, Italy, they might say memorable meals center around olive oil from olives plucked from their yards, freshbaked bread, sausage-eggplant sandwiches, swordfish and really great wines from hand-picked grapes. Giovanni and Jessica LaFata, co-owners of Vito’s in the Valley restaurant in Chesterfield, recently returned from a trip to Italy to visit with Gio’s extended family. “We ate with different family members for every meal but didn’t consume the same thing twice,” Jessica says. As tradition after the LaFatas’ trips to the Sicily region, the couple discussed the food trends and tastes to which they were exposed in Italy that might make a great addition to their restaurant’s menu. Jessica says they were especially impressed with the basil pesto lasagna they had, which was, “melt-in-your-mouth rich but still light with a creamy taste sensation.” She says they had this lasagna, topped with pine nuts, with white wine on an outside patio, and they simply fell in love with it. Jessica says that version of lasagna was four layers high, but that it wasn’t overwhelmingly heavy in its consumption sensation. “We definitely are going to find a way to add this sensational lasagna to our menu,” she adds. Another item they had within 90% of their meals was swordfish, prepared in a variety of ways. “Italians showcase their swordfish much like we Americans highlight filet mignon,” Jessica explains. Jessica says they even got to participate in a fish fry, which contained various sizes of lightly breaded fish. She was surprised to learn that her favorite bites were actually sardines. “They weren’t at
