The Mammer Jammer
See my post and pictures here.
It’s grilled meat of some sort with onions and hot peppers, chopped up fine, on a hot dog bun covered in spreadable yellow/orange cheese and topped with chili, served with greasy fries and a warm can of Vess soda.
You may have had something like it but you never had a Mammer Jammer.
The ambiance of the original Mammer Jammer downtown was pretty awesome too…sort of like a holding cell.

The new location (well they have been there 10 years or so, but I still think of it as new) is on Natural Bridge a few blocks west of Kingshighway. I think the only other things on the menu are tripe and snoots. It’s listed as a Kosher restaurant but I don’t see how that is possible.
The name was the inspiration for the Carl Carlton song “She’s a bad Mammer Jammer.”

About 20 years ago, when I worked at Cardinal Glennon Children’s hospital my black great coworker John Carter invited me to go with him to pick up some mammer jammers. I did, it was a hole in the wall just like you said. But the sandwich was the best ever, have not found another that could take its place. Today I wondered if existed in the ciber world and I find it here, how awsome, I am going to try to cook one tonight.. I am too far from St. Louis to be able to get the real thing
My other favorite place up there… Lisa’s chinese take out on the North side can’t remember the neiborghooh
