Friday Food Tour 5.27.11

This week's tour kicks off the official start of summer with another great Why Eat at a Chain Wednesday post over at Des Moines is Not Boring. Amanda Gorsche Miller reviews her visit to Dos Rios, one of our favorite stops on Court Avenue.

Looks like Restaurant Week 2011 is shaping up to be a week full of hard decisions as to what restaurant to try next! dsm Magazine reports that over 30 local restaurants will be participating. Take a look at the list to start your planning now.

If your holiday weekend plans include some steaks on the grill, here's a little primer for you. Serious Eats relates the finer points of How to Grill a Gigantic Rib-Eye Steak. Looks good to me!

And just for fun, these photographs of tiny model figures and food really caught my eye this week. Take a minute and read Tiny People's Wonderful World of Food. As an amateur photographer, I was so intrigued by these photos.

Enjoy your long weekend - I know we will!
