To an outsider, St. Louis inspires images of, above all, the Gateway Arch, but also barbecue and cracker-thin pizza. And while a history of massive Italian immigration has left an indelible mark on this Midwest City, a vibrant Bosnian restaurant scene is also on the rise. With a focus on top-quality and local ingredients, as well as excellent eats in general, St. Louis has a lot to brag about when it comes to restaurants, as does the catering scene. So here’s a list of the best St. Louis caterers to ease the hassle of placing your next catering order.
