    We Will Pizza!

    Same with Bacon Cheeseburger. I loved it, but the rest of my family would never let me buy that again because of the pickles. :( But the quality is outstanding! Still have breakfast and meat lovers in the freezer to try. Usually meat lovers is our go-to, so looking forward to it.

    Worst city in Iowa?

    I used to live near the Dodge ~15 years ago. It's actually improved quite a bit since then.

    Worst city in Iowa?

    Well that qualifies roughly 99.44% of Iowa towns as a city

    Would you turn it in?

    The potential downsides to trying to keep any of the cash, in my opinion, greatly outweigh the benefits to keeping it. Maybe the bumpkins that provided the situation to sacks of cash lying in a road don't have the tracking mechanisms in place to find you spending or depositing this found cash...

    First family vacation in Florida

    We went to Cape Canaveral last year during spring break, did the tour and got to see a SpaceX launch. That part was pretty fine, although driving in Orlando is pretty much a nightmare (not ATL bad, just crazy). For some day fun we went to Cocoa Beach. Traffic was more painful than ATL. The...

    First family vacation in Florida

    Sanibel is quite an experience. We were in Cape Coral a couple years ago, happened to be right before they got rocked by Hurricane Ian. So some of this area might still be rebuilding. But I'd definitely visit that whole area again. It's modestly priced and plenty to do, nice beaches and not...

    First family vacation in Florida

    I towed a horse trailer my first time driving down to Florida from Iowa. Dear God in Heaven that was a white knuckle trip. On a future trip (no trailer) we decided to try going "the Alabama route" on our way to Ocala (visiting family). It added about an hour drive time (going by GPS) but the...

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    "Juice coming out of the ribs" should not concern you, this is very normal, by design. The salt in the rub does this.

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    I typically use a little Worcestershire sauce as an aid for my rub binder, just to make sure I have enough moisture for the rub to stick. It might be unnecessary, but it works. I usually go start the smoker, then get my meat ready and get the rub on. And I only put the meat on the smoker...

    If you want the best IPA in town, you won't find any of them at Barn Town.

    Lua brewing introduces THC/CBD beverage

    For someone like me, I greatly prefer having an option like Barn Town where I can take my family for a meal outing and I can drink some (previously) great beer, because I am the only beer drinker. But I'm not going to BT now when their beer is basically 90% sours and I might fine ONE beer that...

    Lua brewing introduces THC/CBD beverage

    Thanks, I've been wondering this. They used to have quite a few IPAs, stouts, etc along with the sours. Now they are almost exclusively sours and seltzers with a couple bones thrown to the IPA/stout fans. Best thing about Barn Town is the food. Unfortunately.

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    Thanks to everyone for the BBQ pics and the rub recommendations! My go-to rub has a slight kick to it, and it is a real challenge for me to rub stuff up (especially ribs) how I like them without getting the "too spicy" comments at the table. Been thinking about wading into the Meat Church line...

    I really hope TJ is able to put all the walk-ons in at the end of the game Saturday, like Self did here.
