3 Ways I’m Preparing For The Urban Assault Ride In Des Moines
The Urban Assault Ride takes to the streets of Des Moines on August 16, 2015. The ride starts and ends at Mullets (1300 S.

My Visit to: In the Bag Corporate Cuisine
A couple days a go, I had the opportunity to meet up with Mike Taylor, owner of In the Bag Corporate Cuisine. As a foodster, I was very intrigued about how he came up with the business, and you know, what the biggest difference between the sandwich guy across town and ITB was. Of course it’s […]

Ge-Jo’s By the Lake Italian
Ge-Jo’s By the Lake Italian is a great place in downtown Clear Lake, Iowa. It’s my favorite place to eat in Clear Lake. They have a wonderful patio area to enjoy the Clear Lake breeze. The inside is too dark for me. I enjoy being outdoors. Their specialty is pizza. If you’re an adventurous eater, try the […]
