Iowa Restaurant Association: 2015 Culinary Affair
Could this be one of the best night’s of eating in Des Moines? I’m guessing that it will be – and you shouldn’t miss out. April 12th, 2015, is going to be a night of elegant food and wine at Embassy Club West featuring central Iowa’s top chefs. The event that I’m talking about is the 2015 Culinary Affair. […]

That seems logical, but not entirely true. […]
A Guide On What To Do Before You Brew
I blame my wife.* As a father of four daughters (three at the time, our fourth on the way), she felt that it would be a good idea for me to have a creative outlet…a hobby, if you will…to keep me busy, especially once the teenage years rolled around. So for my birthday a few […]
