From Norwalk - head down to Valley Junction and go to Giffs (VFW).
Maybe call and see what they're serving for lunch. I belive it used to be tacos on Tues.
Only been there once or twice - but they fit the bill for hole in the wall. And used to have great food.
Too bad Valley Park Stadium is gone. That place would've been automatic.

That doesn't sound like a bad idea.... Valley Junction isn't too far off.
Hey what is the place in Des Moines that is known for their Graziano Sausage Grinders and other stuff like that?
My wife works with the owner's husband. The people at her work eat there a lot. She loves it.
The Tavern in Valley Junction?
Fiesta Cancun is good for Mexican on SE 14th, but probably not a good idea if you're sick.
Why am I not surprised that you can rattle off restaurants like a champ? :smile:
Will echo Henry Js and Paesano's. My friend lived in the house right behind that joint and we took full advantage. Tasty food, pretty cheap and COLD tap beer.
There is only one small problem with this scenario. It's kind of hard to cook a rib eye at work and my boss may have a problem with me drinking a beer at my cube.
Palmers is a little expensive but it's like $3 more than going to subway and a lot better. When we go out to eat I end up paying $3 for a beer that I could get for 50 cents at home but that doesn't stop me.
I think their food is ok, but it's overpriced.
Tumea and Sons does lunch, I think. I haven't been there, but it's tasty for dinner for sure.
Tsing Tsao is pretty good too.
Go south to Gabby's in Prole or the Roadside in Martensdale. Or there's a place in
Bevington.
How many need to get out a map to find these towns?

I live in Martensdale, they have pretty solid tenderloins. The giant ones... I've never eaten at Gabby's. I personally really like Villaggio in Norwalk. VERY reasonable food. Can get a panzerotti (calzone) for like 3.45 and a gigantic pizza size cheese bread for like 4.50 i think.
I know it is not always feasible but it puts into perspective of how much you pay for a turkey sandwich, some coleslaw and a drink.
