The Des Moines Restaurant Scene

A regular CBB reader and good friend, IrishWalsh, has started a second blog called "The Des Moines Restaurant Scene." The blog is an outlet for him to keep his culinary expertise from atrophying. But hey, why don't I just let him explain it...

The Des Moines Restaurant Scene:
By: IrishWalsh

For those of you who live around my area, or are just fellow foodies I have started another blog called The Des Moines Restaurant Scene. I am trying to invite a few different people to contribute but for now it's my wife and I blogging. We will be writing about different visits to local restaurants and bars with our opinions and experiences from the point of view of people with loads of hospitality industry experience.

They aren't going to be scientifically methodical reviews, just talk about what's going on around town with events, food scene in general.

In addition to this I have added a "Stump IrishWalsh" link to anyone who has ANY sort of food question they can email and try to stump me. Want to make the perfect coq au vin? Pot roast always soggy on the outside and dry in the center? What the hell is "demi-gloss" anyway? Don't know when a steak is cooked properly? Sick of eating crappy store bought hummus? Whatever it is try and stump me and I will do my best. With the exception of baking I can probably come up with a answer for you and I love answering them so keep em coming. If I had the kitchen for it I would teach out of my home and put my 12 years in kitchens and Culinary degree to better use. But I don't so this is the next best thing.

So swing on over and add some input on restaurants, food, wine, beer, events, whatever as long as it has to do with the Des Moines food scene.
