Monday night was Sauce Magazine’s “Saucy Soiree”, a coming-out party of sorts for the winners of its Readers Choice awards for local restaurants and bars. Held at The Four Seasons Hotel on St. Louis’s riverfront hot spot, The Landing, the party was overflowing. Rumor had it that Sauce anticipated 600 attendees, and more than 1,000 showed up.
My first observation at Saucy Soiree was that there was a disproportionate number of very tall men in the room. The photo, above, does the tall-men phenomenon absolutely no justice. Everywhere it turned, it seemed I was dodging an elbow in my face as these super-tall dudes balanced drinks and food, making sudden sharp turns.
Super-tall men aside, the event was an easy way to sample food and drinks from some the finest establishments in the Lou. From barbque to chilled blueberry soup and cucumber-infused gin, Saucy Soiree reminded me that while we aren’t New York City, St. Louis is still a proud food town.
The event also brought out the city’s sophistication. I’ve not been to an event yet in St. Louis where the baseline sense of style was as high as it was at this event. Saucy Soiree brought out folks with fashion sensibilities on all ends of the spectrum, from hipster to elegant, metrosexual to Bohemian.

Sounds like a blast! It’s so fun to live vicariously and virtually experience these things through your blog posts. Thank you.
Look! That guy is supplementing his lack of tallness by growing an arch out of his head!
Also. You snuck out without saying goodbye and I’m not sure how we can go on with this offense between us, now…
Okay, no really, it was fabulous to see you and meet Tony, thanks for driving up!!
The more I hear about this event, the more I regret not going! I’m thinking about going to the St. Louis Magazine A List Party…. I don’t want to miss out on the fun (again!).
