Our first day out on our road trip, July 13, we ate at the Shangri-La Diner in St. Louis, Missouri. 
This is very hippy-dippy-trippy restaurant located in the Cherokee Historic District, a somewhat uppity (per Joe) antiques shopping area. The restaurant was run by a very punk-looking group – one chick had spiky white & green hair. Our server was a somewhat flaky kid wearing manpris and some hippy hat.
On to the food:
Joe: Tomato Bisque with Grilled Cheese
Sarah: Vegan Pulled Pork Sandwich with Corn on the Cob & Oven Fries
Both: Nachos, no cheese, sour cream on the side.
Both: Strawberry-Orange Juice (sorry, no picture)
Joe said the bisque was good, and the grilled cheese looked yum. The pulled pork was good. I’ve never had real pulled pork (as far as I remember), so I can’t say whether it tastes like the real thing. The sides were OK – not the sweetest corn I’ve ever had, but pretty decent. The nachos were very good; I even ate some guacamole even though avocado often makes me a little sick. I was OK. The juice was delicious.
I also got a dessert to go. It was a strawberry granola thing that tasted like strawberry crisp. Very tasty.
I would recommend this restaurant.
