aw thanks!
I really, really like jalapeno creamed corn. That's probably the only thing at Jethro's that is better than Smokey D's. It's also closer to my house so we eat there more than making the drive to Smokey D's. My daughter is playing beach volleyball in Ankeny this summer so it will become on our way at least once a week. Can't wait!!
Call me crazy but Joe’s Stone crab has unbelievable fried chicken. Hell, there’s Bubba’s Southern in downtown Des Moines with unbelievable fried chicken and strips. Best chicken in DM.
Hit Whatcha Smokin in Luther or Cornbread in Ames. Great meats and sides, including jala cream corn.
I live in ankeny and had no idea that was a thing, but I seem to remember something like that down by the game ready training bubble. Is that where it’s at or is it in prairie ridge sports complex?
Mr. birch took her to practice so I’m not sure where in Ankeny. I’ll find out Sunday when it’s my turn.
Except iced tea is often served with a slice of lemon ... you know, the main ingredient in lemonade ... because it's a complimentary flavor.
Compare to coffee + orange ... which no sane person likes.
Lemon juice is sour. Lemonade adds sugar. The point is sweet added to tea is foul tasting, whether it is pure sugar or sugar-laden lemonade. This is not difficult stuff. As for OJ and coffee, the point was to provide examples of two liquids which taste good on their own, but not combined. Also not difficult stuff.

(Almost) No one agrees (see below). Sweet iced tea is delicious. Extremely popular. And served with lemon for added complimentary taste - even better. Ergo, an Arnie Palmie is de facto delicious. It’s science (it actually is, though I didn’t intend the comment that way).
OJ and coffee would taste horrible together. Your taste buds are wrong.
Next you’ll claim Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are gross because who wants milk in their chocolate … and it’s comparable to ketchup mixed with mint chocolate chip ice cream.
You know who else didn’t like Arnie Palmie’s? Hitler. Pol Pot. John Wayne Gacy. Hannibal Lechter. Thanos. That’s it. That’s the list. And you.
I live in the actual south so this question does not apply.
Yes. Inferior to Jersey Mike's but far superior to Subway.
Yes and yes. Hearing that K&W was closing its last locations in December of last year plucked the nostalgia string.
Eastern NC style BBQ is God's own.
A.ss...and the legs attached.

South Carolina or North Carolina? Eastern or Western NC? Families have fractured over this so choose carefully.
You are correct. I haven't been to medical school, so my anatomical terminology is a bit behind.
