If you are ever stuck for a place to park your RV in St. Louis, MO – the cops moved us on from a public spot we had permission to be at and told us quite forthrightly that there was no where in town we could park – then pay a visit to our new friends [at] the Mandahlee Chinese Restaurant. Not only did these guys totally accommodate us unexpectedly for over a week, they also served delicious food, in particular a rockin’ broccoli beef.

And for those of you running WVO, the Mandahlee also has an extremely accessible grease trap (pictured above at front of bus) which, at least when we arrived, was brimming with clean-as-you-can-hope-for, non partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. For those burning fossil fuels, we understand the prices here are pretty competitive too, not to mention the Bozhot!

   Hi Sam. Thanks for the comment. You’re family’s place saved our Christmas. We probably won’t be up that way for sometime, but wanted to do what we could by giving you guys a shout out. Now that you’ve found us, I hope you’ll keep in touch. All the very best, Tom.
