Truffles
It’s been an interesting decade so far for Ladue institution Truffles. The restaurant became relevant again in 2011, when newly installed chef Jon Griffiths unveiled an upscale modern-Italian menu as impressive as it was ambitious. Griffiths left Truffles in 2012. His successor, Brandon Benack, has taken a broader approach, with dishes trendy (bone marrow), timeless (steak) and even old-school (Dover sole). Benack cooked for several years in Emeril Lagasse’s restaurants, so a few dishes show a Creole touch. The hefty Truffles Burger with cheddar and bacon is a crowd-pleaser.
