Friday Food Tour 11.30.12

Since it's supposed to be so nice this weekend, I may have to get the last of the 'outside' stuff I need to get done - done. Or maybe I should just drive around with the windows down and enjoy the warm breeze. Yeah, that sounds better. But first! The food tour...

If shopping for presents is putting a hole in your pocket, check out this post from FoodIowa on Stalking Bargains in Des Moines. There are some great deals to be found!

If you love craft beer, Iowa is definitely the place to be. There are more than 40 breweries currently operating in Iowa! This cover story from Cityview gives an in-depth look at Iowa's love of craft brew.

It's always nice when a restaurant reviewer gives a place a second or third try if the first experience wasn't that special. The Datebook Diner returned to Host and gives it a glowing review.

One of Grant's favorite foods is Beef Short Ribs - so this post from The F Files caught my eye. Now you can also know the secret to Demystifying the Short Rib!

ThinkGeek has some of the most fun gifts you can find for the people on your list. If you have a DC Comics fan to buy for, how about a Caped Pint Glass? You can choose from Batman or Superman and they can enjoy a beer in style - it is too cool!

Eat well, have fun!
