Another FOX2 Studio STL adventure is in the books!

This week we traveled to Southeast Asia one bite at a time with my “Lion City & Beyond!” menu inspired by the bold flavors of Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

One of my favorite things about creating menus is weaving together food, culture, history and a little storytelling.

Since July is astrologically associated with….
🦀 Cancer season = The Crab, making Singapore Chili Crab Pasta and a Singapore-style Lobster Crab Bisque the perfect centerpiece.

🦁 And as July transitions into Leo season & Singapore’s nickname is “The Lion City,” I brought forth a full circle menu with bold flavors worthy of its name.

The menu featured:
🍜 Singapore Chili Crab Pasta
🦞 Singapore-Style Lobster Crab Bisque
☕ “Jack Can Too Talk Thai” Southeast Asian Latte
🍰 Tropical Celebration Cake topped with dragon fruit, kiwi, & cherries

One fun behind-the-scenes moment… let’s just say fresh whipped cake + the studio lights will humble thee😂
Thankfully, the flavor was exactly what I wanted and that’s what matters most.

A huge thank you to Brittany for making every Studio STL segment feel like we’re simply sharing great food with friends. We always have such a wonderful time together.

And a special shout-out to Tim Ezell! I heard you were in the studio the day before and doing well. I missed seeing you this week and look forward to crossing paths again soon.

Thank you to everyone at FOX2 always!

Every appearance is another opportunity to celebrate cultures from around the world one story and one plate at a time.

See you Tuesday!
