Exposed brick, dim lighting, wooden beams, wood stoves and fireplaces. For George and Cheryl, these are the features that make a restaurant the sort of place that you want to tuck into during the dreary doldrums of late winter. St. Louis has an embarrassment of hygge-inducing spots and in this episode, the co-hosts will not only share their picks for the area’s essential cozy restaurants; they will tell you what to order at each place so that you can wrap yourself in warmth both inside and out.
