Lemmons by Grbic
Ermina and Sulejman Grbic have introduced a generation of St. Louisans to Bosnian cuisine at Grbic Restaurant. Now, at Lemmons by Grbic, their adult children Ermin, Erna and Senada Grbic have shown one possible evolution of Bosnian-American cuisine: an organic fusion of traditional Bosnian ingredients and the Grbics’ American upbringing. Executive chef Seanda Grbic supercharges applewood-smoked chicken wings with the lush sweetness of the plum brandy rakija and a generous spike of chile heat. Cevapi pair so well with melted mozzarella that you might never order a “regular” sausage pizza again. Lemmons by Grbic is already a fun restaurant serving delicious food. Its future potential seems limitless.
