We are St. Louis foodies, Abby Cohen and Brady McAninch

Follow us on Instagram

Abby and Brady run the Instagram account: We Eat Stuff STL.

We love learning about restaurants, bars, pop-up events, and tastings that are making St. Louis an exciting place to live, eat, and drink.

We appreciate and like nice things.

Both Brady and Abby are 30 somethings that own their own businesses. Brady is a personal injury attorney at the firm he started, Hipskind and McAninch. Abby is an entrepreneur that has co-founded multiple healthcare companies and consults with startups spinning out of local universities. Both Abby and Brady are both involved in nonprofits, as well. Brady co-founded the Flyover Comedy Festival. Abby was the previous President of the Board for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation in St. Louis and she serves as an Entrepreneur in Residence with WashU’s Skandalaris Center.

Dining out is a way for us to decompress and relax after long days at work, even if it is just for a cocktail or a snack at the bar.

We appreciate the full experience of a restaurant – the food, drinks, service, ambiance – and how difficult it can be to consistently get it right. It isn’t rare to see us at restaurants with a menu that changes regularly, uses local or even self-grown produce, butchers meat in-house, or flies in fresh fish daily. We also enjoy our fair share of pop-up or opening events that feature tasting menus. Even though we have taste for the finer things in life, Brady continues to have a penchant for Jack-in-the-Box tacos and Imo’s pizza and Abby is still trying to get to the bottom of why brunch is a thing.

Going beyond food.

Beyond highlighting delicious dishes and drinks, we plan to highlight the people who work in the St. Louis food industry and share what they love about their work and the St. Louis food scene with our followers.

In addition to the robust culinary scene, we think one of the incredible things about St. Louis is the density of people and nonprofit organizations looking to make a difference in our community. We plan to share some of the impactful work that is making St. Louis better and bring attention to some of exciting and unique things happening in our city.

To continue the trail blazed by Christine and Charles, founders of WeEatStuffSTL, we will also post cute photos of our pup, Ollie, occasionally. We may also incorporate some of Brady’s Whiskey finds and grilling and Abby’s Sunday meal prep and workout classes.

Bringing people together digitally and in-person.

We like meeting new people. While we will connect with many of our followers on Instagram exclusively, we also want to create opportunities for people to come together and experience new things around food and drink in an in-person setting. The events we help to organize will be small and designed to highlight people and companies in the food industry that have a focus on craftsmanship. Many of our events will highlight the St. Louis food industry, but we also plan to highlight people and companies that may be traveling through St. Louis. 

We hope to create unique experiences that give our followers (and, quite frankly, us) the opportunity to try something new, eat delicious food and drink, learn more about the craft, and – most importantly – to have fun!

No paid posts or ads.

We want to show off the restaurants we love (new and old), things in St. Louis that make us happy and proud to live here, and the people that are making the St. Louis community and food scene even better.

Making money is not our goal. 

Our goal is to bring attention to the restaurants and non-profit organizations that are making St. Louis a better place to visit and live. We hope our posts and events encourage people to try a new restaurant (or return to one that they haven’t visited in a while), get involved in the St. Louis community, or share some of the great things happening in our community with your friends and followers.

We also love our pup, Ollie.

Ollie will also make some guest appearances on our Insta. His favorite activities are sun-bathing, getting treats, and sleeping under the covers.
