Self serving promotion

The bar and restaurant that I work at has finally opened its doors. The Wedge, as I'm sure you probably know, is a new pizza joint and music venue located in south St. Louis. Its on a curious patch of land bordered by Compton, Bates and Virginia Streets. We're open and serving food seven days a week, and we're having music and other events such as comedy and burlesque going on in our upstairs venue. In fact, The NonProphets were just there last night and sold out the joint. It was pretty cool.

We have a calendar going on our Web site that you can peruse for upcoming events and shows. And soon a menu will be available, too.

Chef Consultant Blake Brokaw and Kitchen Manager Steve LaFata have crafted an incredible menu, and so far, everyone has been raving about the pizza, the calzones and my personal favorite, the eggplant manicotti.

Come on down and check it out. We've got plenty of familiar faces behind the bar, too, and you can whet your whistle without spending too much coin.
