Friday Food Tour 5.31.13

Wow, I can't believe it's the end of May already! Whew! This year is flying by. It'll be time for the Iowa State Fair before we know. Can't wait. But there is no wait for the Friday Food Tour - let's get at it!

Love to see articles from Cityview's Food Dude on independently owned restaurants. His latest features E.P True Burger Cafe and TR's. Check it out here.

Now that the Downtown Des Moines Farmer's Market is in full swing, what are you going to make with all of that fabulous fresh produce? Tom Perry from DSM Magazine gives us a great recipe for each month of the market utilizing what is at it's peak that month. Get cooking here.

Another great post on using farm fresh ingredients comes from the Fomaro Files - "Getting an Early Start on Seasonal Foods" also has a great recipe for Ricotta Gnocchi.

If you're looking for a new spot for brunch, Eat Play Love Des Moines may have just the place. Check out their recent review on Tacopocalypse and you'll be making weekend plans pronto.

Summer is finally here and you WILL be having a cocktail party or two, right? You best read this post from Serious Eats, "7 Summer Cocktail Party Pitfalls to Avoid" - you don't want to have a less than successful bash, do you?

Here's to hoping the rain takes a break and we can all have a dry and happy weekend!

Yes, too bad about TR's closing. We only ate there a couple of times, but did stop in for a drink on occasion. Thanks for stopping by!
