    First Look: Sakatanoya Revolving Sushi & Ramen Bar
    Oct 29 2025

    This week on Arch Eats, George and Cheryl have some breaking news about one of St. Louis’ most anticipated restaurants. Ever since he first announced his revolving sushi restaurant and ramen bar, Sakatanoya, owner Anthony Wang has been the talk of the town—and for good reason. The forthcoming restaurant, which will soon open in the Delmar Loop, is the most novel place to open in St. Louis in recent memory, and the hosts get the inside scoop on everything from its double-tier, all-you-can-eat sushi conveyor belt, robot waiters, wild cocktail concept and its official opening date. It’s an episode you won’t want to miss about what’s sure to be the hottest spot in town. Listen and follow Arch Eats on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever podcasts are available.

However, SLM’s resident beer expert Jordan Palmer is here to set the record straight. In this episode, Jordan, an Emmy award-winning producer and writer of SLM’s craft beer newsletter, joins George and Cheryl to share his thoughts on why craft beer is very much alive—and quite possibly better than ever. And non-beer drinkers, do not fret! Jordan also dishes on some unexpected suggestions that prove there truly is a craft beer for everyone.

They’ll good-naturedly dish on restaurants’ biggest offenses and, to keep things even, share what restaurants wish their guests would stop doing, all in the spirit of making the experience of dining out more pleasant for everyone involved. Listen and follow Arch Eats on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever podcasts are available.
