Best STL Food: Lemongrass Vietnamese Sesame Tofu

Oh hey! I like food. But I reallllly like sesame tofu. That said, it's about time I share one of STL's best kept secrets: a gem of a dish from CBGB's Vietnamese neighbor.

When I was 21, I was a Shift Manager and Events Assistant at Flamingo Bowl. I worked 11am-8pm six days per week, and almost every Friday I made my way to Lemongrass to reward myself with some heaven-on-earth sesame tofu. Having discovered the dish after taking on a vegan diet, I ignored all signs pointing to fish sauce and dug in week after week.

Recently, I made my way back to Lemongrass on South Grand after a few years away. The sesame tofu is still amazing. (OR Juice & Smoothie Cafe still tops my list for spring rolls. Swoon.)
