Wow, I was interested until that came up. No offense if you work there, but that place is such a parody of itself it makes me embarassed to be white.

Whoever said Iowa has no produce is seriously on crack. The Des Moines farmers market is off the hook, and most places in Iowa by May you can just drive around country roads and look for tables of produce by the road with a money jar next to them. Place is straight-up boring if you like anything but burbs and ruralness, but it's damn sure fertile. Not to mention that if you come from NYC you will probably pay for you trip in beer savings -- $9 30's and whatnot.

oh, and don't order chicken anywhere. Eating anything but pork there marks you as a communist.
