Look, it's Jon Hamm!
Everyone’s favorite St. Louis hottie is back in the news talking up his favorite STL people, places and things.
Ya boy Jon Hamm was interviewed by Frank Cusumano for the Ladue News (just that already is so St. Louis), and in the exchange he takes every opportunity to drop some serious local knowledge. He might live in Los Angeles now, but to hear him talk, Hamm is still living that toasted ravioli, Bread Co., Highway Farty Far life.
In the short exchange, Hamm name-drops a ton of St. Louis icons. Here are some parts that stood out:
- Hamm calls Ivan Barbashev of the St. Louis Blues “Barbie” because, you know, he’s down.
- Hamm says his dad used to work near the “old barn.” Instant cred. If you know, you know.
- Hamm includes Ted Drewes, Café Napoli, Union Loafers and Annie Gunn’s is among his favorite restaurants in town.
- Hamm says he used to bartend for Blues players at Cardwell’s in Clayton.
- Hamm says “getting to the state championship in football for John Burroughs” is the greatest athletic achievement of his life.
- Hamm says that even though he lives in L.A., he doesn’t fuck with the Rams.
High five, Hammer. You know what’s up.
