It may not be Oktober... but who cares?

This weekend I was driving on South Grand and came across 2 eating establishments that really got me excited! They both serve German cuisine and are located only 15 mins away from SLU. The first one is the Feasting Fox which is located on the corner of Meramec and Grand. The establishment has been around since 1914. It was built by August Busch, which weaves it into the deep Anheuser Busch tradition in St. Louis.  
The second eating establishment is also regarded as one of the most recognizable St. Louis sights next to the Arch and the AB brewery. The Bevo Mill is a giant windmill on Gravois, however don't let the exterior fool you. Despite the very industrious appearance this windmill is filled with tasty delights. The Mill first opened it's doors to the public in 1917. This restaurant is also linked to the AB legacy. August built the mill in 1915.
These two historic spots are places on my short list of restaurants I want to try. The only problem is what to order? It all sounds so GOOD! I definitely will have to keep thinking.
