ST. LOUIS, July 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NBC's "Today" show is about to experience downtown St. Louis dining when Renaissance St. Louis Grand Hotel Executive Chef Tim Jansen stops by to whip up a few of his signature dishes Thursday, July 12.

Chef Jansen, who became Executive Chef at the St. Louis hotel in November 2007, will appear on the early segment of "Today," hosted by Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie.

Using ingredients from India to farms in the St. Louis area, Chef Jansen specializes in banquet catering for St. Louis weddings and large events, as well as high-quality St. Louis-style cuisine, including a six-course Southern-style breakfast.
