Friday Food Tour 9.6.13

I suppose everyone is all excited about the start of football season? Me, not so much, but I do look forward to tailgate parties! I love trying all of the new appetizers and entrees - Pinterest is about exploding with tailgate recipes - so if you need me to guard the food and beer while you head in to the game, I'm in. But it's time for the food tour...

If you were a fan of Le Jardin, you'll be glad to hear that they are reopening the popular spot in a new location. More news here.

We love Orlondo's - their salad dressing is my favorite restaurant dressing - and so, it seems, does Slaking Fool. Along with some hunger-inducing photos, here's his review.

Another favorite in Des Moines, The Cheese Shop, was featured recently on Dine Des Moines. Check out the fresh and tasty treats she enjoyed here.

It looks like even Mazy was out celebrating Des Moines' Restaurant Week. He seriously tries everything. You'll love his review on his visit to Alba.

And finally, did you know that September is National Honey Month? I did not, but I'm all for celebrating holidays, especially if it involves cocktails. Drinking in America gives us 'Have a Cocktail, Honey' - great drink recipes that feature honey as an ingredient. Sounds refreshing!

Get out there and tailgate this weekend!
