16 March 2011: St. Louis has a delightful amount of restaurants, Blueberry Hill being a favorite to revisit.
16 March 2011: Blueberry Hill has delicious burgers, an option upon which is this cheese... sort of a cheese whiz blob. Looks like a blob of mustard, but whatever. It was tasty, but I'd take a slice of cheddar or Swiss instead any day.
