Two fun food events coming up in Ferguson
Enjoy a four-course meal at Hill Brewing's "Beer Dinner" on September 2, with proceeds benefiting Ferguson's community gardens
Good food for a great cause – that’s what you’ll get at Hill Brewing Company on September 2, when the brewpub opens up its Sky Room for a benefit Beer Dinner. For $30, you’ll get a four-course meal and four accompanying beers. And wow, the menu sounds awesome!
Appetizers will be made fresh by guest chef Freddie Holland, my dear friend and neighbor who also happens to be the recipe guru behind Match Meats. Freddie is always whipping up tasty vegetarian delights, and this time he’s using fresh ingredients from the local community garden, so I’m sure his appetizers will be fab!
Up next is salad – fresh spring greens tossed with candied pecans, diced pineapple, fresh strawberries, bacon and blue cheese. Then you’ll get blackened Mahi Mahi with rice and steamed veggies. And finally, dessert is fresh strawberry cheesecake. Mmm!
All proceeds from this dinner benefit Ferguson’s two community gardens – Old Ferguson West and Robert/Superior – and a limited number of tickets are available. To get yours, call Craig at (314) 522-3151 or Heather at (314) 522-3225. You can also find them at Hill Brewing, Cork Wine Bar and Vincenzo’s.
The Beer Dinner is scheduled for Thursday, September 2, from 6:30-9pm. 418 S. Florissant, 63135
Just a few days prior, on August 29, it’s Cork that’s hosting a special event. From 5-6pm, you can taste four great wines (and get a mini wine lesson) for just $5! Immediately afterward, take 20% off any bottle of wine, 1/2 off one glass of wine, or $2.00 off any Hot or Cold Plate from the menu. What a deal!
Cork is located at 423 S. Florissant, 63135. For more info about the upcoming tasting, call (314) 521-WINE.

I’m a tough customer when it comes to restaurants. It’s not that I’m a food snob – my tastes are really pretty simple. Where I draw the line is atmosphere.
I want cozy. I want unique. And I want a place that shines with the love and quirkiness of the people who created it. Blueberry Hill offers that. So do the Venice Cafe and Shangri-La Diner.
In a world filled with bland chain restaurants, it’s a beautiful thing to find. And that’s why I’m thrilled and proud to say that it has finally come to my neighborhood!
CORK Wine Bar is the type of place that no one expects to find in North County – smart, sophisticated, casually elegant. In fact, when my friend Mike Lonero first started talking about opening a wine bar in Ferguson, plenty of people told him it would never work.
But Lonero, who also owns Vincenzo’s Italian Ristorante at 242 S. Florissant Rd, believed that an upscale bar could not only survive in NoCo, but thrive. And he was right. Since opening in late September, CORK has drawn steady crowds and rave reviews.
