Say Cheese

Gooey butter cake is a dense, rich cake with a sticky, custard-like filling. A St. Louis baker may have created it by accident in the 1930s or ’40s. It’s thought that the baker added too much butter when making a coffee cake, and gooey butter cake was born. Today, it’s sold at most St. Louis bakeries.

St. Louis-style pizza has an ultra-thin, crunchy, yeast-free crust similar to a cracker. It’s also traditionally cut in squares, beginning in the 1960s with the St. Louis-based pizza chain Imo’s. The restaurant’s square-cut slices originated from founder Ed Imo’s first profession, as a tile setter, making it more natural to cut square slices.
