Friday Food Tour 8.09.13

It seems that real life has taken a toll here at Iowa Foodie! Hopefully, things have calmed down enough to keep to a regular posting schedule once again. I apologize for the time away from all things foodie! Anyhoo, it's State Fair time! So excited to hit the fair and try some new really-bad-for-you treats. And it's on to the food tour...

You all know what a burger nut I am, so I was way interested in this recent article from Juice - check out The Walking Ched & 5 Other Extreme Burgers You Have to Try. Yum.

Excited to see a new loose-meat sandwich place in the metro - Cityview's Food Dude gives us the details on Patty Pat's in West Des Moines.

Looks like Mazy has been having more food adventures. He certainly gets into some detail on his blog posts - love it! Check out his latest in 'Long Night in Iowa.'

Everyone knows the delicious array of tasty food treats that line the streets of the Des Moines Farmer's Market - but Slaking Fool is the one that gives us a photo essay on 'Tastes of the 2013 Des Moines Farmer's Market'. And this is just Part 1!

Did you know August is National Peach Month? Well, I didn't, but I'm certainly going to celebrate by making a few of these cocktails from Drinking in America's 'Just Peachy Cocktails.' That Peachy Keen cocktail is first on my list.

Hope to see you at the Iowa State Fair!
