Look! You Got a Great White!

Back from our wedding! It's been exactly 21 days since my last post, but we're back on now!

Last night, looking for something between frozen pizza and Niche, we decided to check out this little South City hang-out known as Syberg's. Syberg's is owned by the same folks who own that West County cash cow, Helen Fitzgerald's. Syberg's on Gravois (they have three locations), is the original, full of overweight chain-smoking folks from South County. We settled in for our healthy meal.

Syberg's is knowns for the intriguing delicacy of none other than shark! We bought into this marketing schtick and ordered "Shark Bites" for an appetizer. Yum! They tasted like meaty fish-think tuna steak or swordfish. Eschewing vegetables and anything else healthy, we stuck the the left-hand side of the menu and took on a bunch of appetizers. They make their own wing sauce, less spicy than traditional Franks-plus-Butter combo you might find at other bars, lending a tangy, almost tomatoey (word?) flavor to traditionally fried wings. The cajun shrimp were swimming in butter (oh well) and the onion rings were huge. Even better, we arrived during happy hour and our wings (about 10) were only 3.50 or so.

Syberg's is not a place you take your parents when they're in town, unless they're chain smokers from Afton. We will be back.
