Friday Food Tour 4.29.11
Apr 29, 2011 If you've been curious about the new Ecuadorean restaurant in West Des Moines, head over to Des Moines Good Eats for their take on Mi Patria. They sampled several dishes and give their reviews.
The Food Dude, Jim Duncan, has an excellent write up, along with several photos, of his recent visits to Hal Jasa's Zingaro. You can really get the feel of what dinner at Zingaro would be like and the many innovative dishes you'd get to try.
Des Loines was on the road in our old stomping grounds of southeast Iowa for his latest post. He stopped in at the Blue Bird on the square in Centerville. Get the latest here.
And if spring and warmer weather ever get here, you'll want to make plans to visit one of these "Great Patios in Des Moines" as reported by the Des Moines Register. Any time, weather.
The First Annual Iowa Craft Brew Festival is set for Saturday, May 21! It looks to be a fun day with unlimited beer samplings from 3 - 7pm (with ticket purchase, duh) from more than 20 Iowa breweries with 80+ beers. There will also be live music and food. The festival will be downtown Des Moines along 10th Street between Walnut and Mulberry. Sounds like a plan.
Only one more week until the Downtown Farmer's Market opens! Eat local this weekend.
