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.

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!

Americana - Des Moines

I've ordered to-go from Americana on a few occasions, and have never been disappointed.  In fact, every time I order, I'm further delighted.  It's really that good.

Pizza Hut's New Hand Tossed Pizza

I know, I know...  This blog is for local food only.

I decided that on occasion, I can make an exception when something really deserves to be reviewed.  And, holy shit, does the new Pizza Hut Hand Tossed pizza deserve it.

In a word: Ew.  Two?  Fucking ew.

Tacopocalypse

This will be pretty short.

Just wanted to say that I found Tacopocalypse to be so fucking good, it made me hate them a little bit.   I'll have a more detailed post up soon, but seriously, go to there.  You will regret only that you hadn't done it sooner.

Jethro's 'n Jake's Revisited

Sweet baby lord.  Jethro's is amazing.  I'm sitting here, full of meat and happy about it.
