Friday Food Tour 7.13.12

It's another Friday the 13th! Didn't we just have one of these? Hope it turns out lucky for us all. Plenty going on this weekend in the metro. Take your pick and head out to enjoy the festivities. On to the food tour for this Friday...

Roadtips checked out the new gourmet burger joint in Ames, Oddfellows Burger Kitchen. His post gives you plenty of info to see if it's a place you might want to try. Me? It's burgers - so that's a definite YES.

Food Dude's latest column for Cityview features Pomodoro's, an Italian restaurant on Des Moines' south side. Read all about the tasty menu items we all should be trying in the near future.

Having lived not too far from Cantril, Iowa, in the distant past, I really enjoyed this post on Dutchman's Store from Distilled Opinion. Take a peek at what's on the shelves at this small town general store.

Don't forget Cityview's Brewfest 2012 is this Saturday from 3 - 7pm. Held at Principal Park in downtown Des Moines, Brewfest features over 450 beers and admission includes unlimited samples. Tickets are $28 at the door. Your designated driver (which I would highly recommend with unlimited samples - duh) only pays $10. More info here.

The summer is really flying by, right? Make sure you don't let it slip away without enjoying your share of warm-weather drinking! Rum should do the trick, so here's 8 Rum Drinks from Serious Eats that will make your summer imbibing all that much more fun. I hear an El Floridita Daquiri calling my name...

Make it a great weekend.
