Busch's Grove: Russ's Salad

Busch's Grove was an unpretentious white frame roadhouse on Clayton Road at Price, in the city of Ladue. For years the name epitomized genteel, gracious dining in St. Louis. The restaurant was known for its screened cottages, as well as the steaks coming from its grill and the mint juleps served over its bar.
