I just ordered a pizza from Black Market to try it out. Are you sure that wasn't the Ankeny location?

I've been to the Ames BMP and that was not the inside of the one here. The one shown was more like a hallway vs. whats up here. I've never been to the Ankeny one but it had to be that one.

It was a good show tonight.

Yep, definitely wasn't the Ames one, it's half a square.

Didn't the Register say he was in the Ankeny location when the story came out?

Also, I could think of many different places in Des Moines or better food choices then what he did.
Not a very good representation of the food in the area.

Might want to make sure you know for sure before you sound like a jack***. He was in Ames at Black Market Pizza.


Might want to know your facts before you stick your foot in your mouth next time...that was most definitely the Ankeny location before it closed so that the owner could focus on the Ames location:biggrin::biggrin:

Where they love the governor
The time limit was what did him in. This guy took on the Big Texan 72oz steak (plus tater, salad, shrimp cocktail, and roll) in about half an hour or so. He can consume a large volume of food, but a short time limit is killer!

I would have liked to see the B&B Quadzilla, or some mention of south side Italian.

That said, Jethro's is absolutely fantastic, and High Life has a unique menu done very well. Their new High Life Man burger with a beef patty, Graziano patty, bacon and pepperjack is amazing. I've never had BMP, so I can't comment on that. You got 3 places to go in a city teeming with great food. Can't please everyone.

He most definitely said he was in Ames. I've never been to either, so I don't know which one he was at. But he did say he was in Ames.

Owner probably requested that or something since it was his first and only remaining one.

He did say Ames but that wasnt the Ames Location. Jesus I have been there it was the Ankeny one.
