La Chata's bar isn't just called the bar. It's referred to as the "Tequila Bar." La Chata claims to have the largest tequila selection in St. Louis (also more than 100 varieties) of premium and super premium bottles. La Chata is a little off the beaten path in O'Fallon, but we think we might have to go there soon anyway. You know, just to count all of the tequilas. And maybe taste them while we're counting.
St. Louis diners who have never managed to master Starbucks' sizing system will find Cold Stone Creamery's similarly challenging; the ice-cream chain eschews small, medium, and large in favor of "Like It," "Love It," and "Gotta Have It" sizes. Once the portion is picked, patrons can concoct their own creations from super-premium ice cream flavors like vanilla, cake batter, chocolate, strawberry and coffee, plus a kaleidoscope of toppings: nuts, brownies, cookies, candy, and even chunks of pie crust. The Creamery's ice cream engineers will scoop your selections onto a frozen slab and deftly fold in the toppings, ensuring that you won't have to hunt very far with your spoon for another hunk of cookie dough. Voice Places has Cold Stone Creamery down cold.
