Jason Paul of the Little Dipper (2619 Cherokee Street, 314-625-3530) admits that he came to cooking out of necessity. "It's no secret that my mom doesn't cook," he says. "She'll tell you as much. To give you an idea, one time she was cooking two gooey butter cakes for a party and forgot to add the butter."

Fortunately, Paul and his mother spent the first thirteen years of his life living with his grandmother, who taught him basic dishes. "She showed me how to do very simple things, like cook eggs," Paul recalls. "When my mom and I moved out, I had to make meals for myself all of the time — my mom worked a lot as a computer programmer. I got sick of cooking frozen microwave dinners, so I decided to experiment."
