Friday Food Tour 8.26.11

We've been enjoying some awesome Restaurant Week meals this week. Hope you are taking advantage of some unique and affordable menus at some of Des Moines' best restaurants. Let's see what else is going on...

Speaking of Restaurant Week, Americana is participating and is one of the places we hope to visit soon. Distilled Opinion was there recently and gives us this review of his experience at Americana.

Have you gotten a bingo yet on your Local BINGO card? If not, there's still time as this fun activity from Urban 515 runs until September 30. There's a nice variety of local restaurants and businesses to get your stamp from and don't forget, a trip to Cabo San Lucas is on the line!

Unless you've been living under a rock for the last few months, you've heard about the soon-to-be-open Zombie Burger + Drink Lab. The new burger restaurant officially opens on Tuesday, August 30, but tonight is the Zombie Burger Street Party at the corner of East 4th St and Grand. It promises to be a whole lot of undead fun. Metromix has more info here.

Last week I let you in on the new food-on-a-stick you could find at the MN State Fair. This week, Heavy Table takes us on a Minnesota State Fair 2011 Food Tour! You'll find their Terrific Ten and Foul Five lists - too fun. Maybe I should be heading north...

Have a delicious weekend.
