Wondering why it doesn’t say which city or town? Is everything assumed to be in Des Moines?

Thanks for this, Maureen! You raise a good point. This is in Des Moines. This newsletter pertains mostly to dining in Des Moines, but from now on, just to be clear, I'll put the city in any thing I post, as it could be in one of the surrounding communities as well.

If you happened to come my way via the Splendid Table episode, and you don't live around this area, perhaps you'd enjoy my other more "worldly" newsletter, "On Food and France." (It's mostly about food in other places in the world, including France). Find it here:

Thanks for all this great info! Sorry to miss your performance Sunday. I was excited...and then I looked at my calendar. I'll be in Iowa City for a writers workshop.

I hope someone records your mastery.

THANK YOU for letting us know about this. Just stopped by and found exactly what I wanted: kale, cabbage, and pasture-raised meats.

Love this! Reminds me of the Violette de Bordeaux Figs with calabrian chili oil & cured lardo recipe I adapted from California cuisine restaurant Rustic Canyon! check it out:
