I'm looking forward to a fun birthday weekend (my birthdays are never just ONE day) - celebrating a _-0 birthday better be fun, anyway. Planning on some good food, good friends, and a chauffuer to drive me around. Here's hoping I get it all! On to the Food Tour...
Have you tried the new restaurant delivery service, Meal Man? Cityview's Food Dude did recently and it sounds like his experience was pretty good. And I know what he means about the baseball playoffs, it's tough to find the games on anywhere in the metro.
I was waiting with anticipation to hear this year's winner of the Iowa Pork Producers Best Tenderloin - and this week this Des Moines Register article let us know that Breitbach's Country Dining in Balltown was THE ONE. Actually, we've not eaten at any of the top 5 restaurants, so there will definitely be some road trips in our future.
I hope you've been reading the new blog from George Formaro - The F Files. I've really been enjoying the posts, especially this one on pizza with a great recipe to try. Be sure to bookmark this one.
If you're looking for some seasonal comfort food, Host is now offering Friday Prix Fixe dinners with three courses for $24. The menu looks awesome, so don't miss out!
And finally, there are a lot of weird ice cream flavors out there, but have you ever had BEER ice cream? An ice cream shop in Denver is now offering several flavors of beer and liquor infused ice creams. Check out this post from Drinking in America for more info. Wow.
Hope all the October birthday people have (or had, I guess) a great day. Celebrate!
