Des Moines is home of the Midwest's manliest restaurant - Jethro's

How manly?

Well, I ate their last week.

Jethro's is damn good bbq.  It also made it on Man vs Food and is home of the Emmenecker- a five pound tenderloin, chicken, bbq burger.

Someone ordered one while we were there (eat it in 15 minutes and get your pic on the wall).  I'm not sure how it turned out, but after 6 minutes, things were not looking good for the guy.

Des Moines (the other end of town) is also home of the Zombie Walk.

It's what it sounds like...  600 people walk four and a half miles to benefit the local homeless shelter.. with, y'know... zombies.




Pretty cool idea.  I didn't go, but I know people who went, who would otherwise be the last people on Earth to do a fundraiser.  So that's good.

You ever thought it would be fun to go full Survivor at work, and vote someone off the island?

Or go full-on Trump?

That would be a fun, good deal.

Oh wait, we're talking people's lives and livelihoods, that's a terrible idea.

Iowa Convenience Store owner William Ernst probably wishes he had that decision over.

Maybe, having a "Guess who's getting fired next?" contest is a better idea for a wacky sitcom, and maybe not so much in real life.
