| Arancini at Lorenzo's Trattoria |
But my first love at Lorenzo's will always be the arancini: rice balls stuffed with ground beef and peas, breaded, deep-fried, smothered with cheese and served in a pool of rich red sauce. The texture is fun -- crunchy, chewy (sticky, even), gooey -- and, for a fried food, the flavor is suprisingly light, sparked by the verdant sweetness of peas.
Of course, when you visit Lorenzo's, you don't have to choose between them: Start with the arancini, then enjoy the veal t-bone and finish with an espresso and a smile.

I'm counting down -- in no particular order -- 100 of my favorite dishes in St. Louis. Some are well-known, others obscure. Some are expensive, others dirt cheap. All of them, I guarantee, are delicious. Please do not hesitate to share your own favorites via the comments thread.
