Hole in the Wall at Gas Lamp - Sadly, No Pictures

I don't know how many times I'd meant to go to Hole in the Wall.  Dozens, maybe?  At least as many times as I've been to Gas Lamp.  I love those hottie hipsters who frequent in their skinny jeans and that Lumbersexual combo of beards and flannel.  I usually take in super awesome live music and a Strongbow or two, and consider eating something.

Cowboy Jack's West Glenn - No Photos

One look at Cowboy Jack's Facebook page, and you'll see a Breasturant.  You know, Hooter's and Twin Peaks.  Ugh, just other names for boobs.  Hot, tan chicks in bikinis, daisy dukes, and super low-cut tees siting in probably uncomfortable, but supposedly suggestive ways.  Always just holding a burger up to their super white, smiling mouths.  They don't eat that shit.

Dunkin' Donuts Croissant Donut

I know, I know... "local only".  But the Cronut is only available from that ONE bakery in that ONE city.  So, when DD introduced the knock off (and let's be real, anyone who knows how to make croissants can make a Cronut.  You're not special, NYC), I had to try it.

Nick's

As a true Southsider, I love tenderloins.  And I've been advised on countless occasions that Nick's has the best in town.  So, I obviously had to give them a try.  I don't know what took me so long, but finally today was the day!  And now I really don't know what took me so long; Nick's is awesome! 

High Life Lounge

Nobody doesn't like High Life Lounge.  It's modeled after your Grandpa's stuck-in-the-70s basement rec room.  They serve super homey food, and with El Bait Shop next door, have the best beer selection in the 515.  For real.

HoQ - Restaurant Week 2014

Happy Restaurant Week! 

I haven't participated in Des Moines Restaurant Week before, and this year it fell at a perfect time to finally do so.

Noodles Pasta and Sandwich Shop - Long Overdue

I had take away from Noodles Pasta and Sandwich Shop twice in May.  I should have definitely posted my review a very long time ago.  Luckily I take NOTES!
