    My favorite part is when you insult the people and cities that you go to. Real cool. You guys seem insufferable.

    Native Iowan & Midwest travel youtuber! My fave breakfast place in DSM is Waveland cafe, so maybe try that next time you are in town. Cheers!

    We were in Des Moines like 10-15 years ago visiting my sister when she worked at the University. I barely remember exactly where we went but we ate some good food! Although, I’m sure the scene has changed dramatically in 10-15 years 💛

    Liver and onions is always beef liver. That’s why it’s so big.

    I agree. Hot honey suuuuuuucks. If I want sweet food, I’ll eat dessert

    Broasted is a trademark. The seasoning and process is sold by the company.

    LOL - it's honey season in IA. We're doing our best to keep the bees for crops up here.

    Try Splash or Jethro's if you're gonna do expensive stuff. But I just wanna say the best burger I've ever had was in Hornick, Iowa. I was working in Sloan and we stopped by and God damn that was a good burger. I can't remember the name but Google maps tells me it's Chance's R Bar. You guys should try it out.
    To add, I live in Des Moines and haven't eaten at a single place you visited.
    Also: Smokey D's, Smitty's tenderloin shop, Jerri's bar on the east side and maybe George's Chili King. Iowa food doesn't have a lot of nuance it's just deep fried meat and corn.

      Oh, those all sound good! We've added them to the list!
      Thankfully, we're big fried meat and corn fans! :D

      Jethros is a joke. Not good bbq all.
      And chili king is closed and won’t be reopening because the owner died a few years ago and the daughter didn’t want to reopen.

      @@tattoogoddess85 I haven't been to George's in roughly three years, so makes sense. Building still stands though, sign and all. Who's the guy next door with the shop, does he specialize in euro cars? I've got an older merc that needs rebuilt and don't know anyone. Feel free to message me, thanks.

    As someone who is a native Iowan yeah zombie burgers is not really that good. It's just a version of smash burgers with a cool name. My brother use to work at the one in Ankeny and it went out of business. U would have gotten a better burger at b bops witch is a Iowa fast food chain. Next time your in des moines go to Spaghetti works or Hessen Haus

    I agree with all your comments on the food & the racism in Iowa. I am sorry! You went to some pretty bad food stops. Next time try Barrattas.✌️

    how you gonna go to some the worst places to try here..... *face palm* The main attraction of "el bait shop" is their large selection of beer on tap... so its a dive bar that has some food... hessenhaus has much better beer and food.... what about Thai Flavors, or 515 Pho.. and there are some AMAZING BBQ places... plus you guys didnt go to the West DSM side of things where all the major restaurants are at. Indian Star is really good on the north side... also yeah... the racism isnt constant but some people are just jerks. My Wife is Filipino. so Occasionally I hear those kinds of things as well...Tell ya what. if you guys venture back this way... hit me up.. ill be your food and bar guide.. promise you.. you will have a much different experience.. the world food fair festival is pretty nice though.. i must say they have great selection from many countries

    Did you guys go on a trip to Iowa just to literally complain about every miniscule thing?
    I agree that zombie burger is not good. ANYONE WOULD TELL YOU THAT. But you completely overlooked the best restaurants in the Des Moines & surrounding area & There are NOT DOWNTOWN you should have asked some locals. Most of the best food is your mom and pop places
    Skips (cool backstory)
    Ohana steakhouse
    Francie's
    Jesse's embers
    Fongs pizza
    Z's eatery & pub (Indianola)
    Fiesta jalapeno (Indianola)
    Groggy dog (Indianola)
    Irenas (Russian)
    Tumea & sons (Italian)
    And for next time just remember you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. A little more respect when visiting my state would be nice
    Soooooo.....

    This is a horrible review and not even close to reality. You guys seriously came across hating everything. I have eaten at all of these places. Eatery A is 4 blocks from my house, I used to work at zombie, Saint is managed by my neighbor and bait shop is a local fav.
    This review is just...... yeah... not accurate at all.

      It's a review, lol. Everybody is going to have a different experience at these restaurants. Their feelings towards the food aren't wrong just because you disagree with them; that's the whole point of reviews, to hear other people's opinion.

    Zombie Burger is a joke here in DM. I got food poisoning and easily the worse burger I've ever had. Tasty Taco should have been included as it uses less common puffy tacos.

    I just can't imagine you really get all that good food options in Iowa lol. Iowa is completely devoid of culture. The only reason people live there is because they have no choice.
