LOCAL CHICKENS ARE BACK.

Pasture-raised chickens from Warren County available starting Saturday. Raised right, tastes better. Get here early.

And while you’re out Saturday morning, swing by our booth at the Des Moines Farmers’ Market for jerky, snack sticks, dog treats, and a few other things you probably didn’t know you needed.

We took a diner classic and butchered it. In a good way.

Monte Cristo
French toast battered bread • smoked turkey • butcher ham • Swiss cheese • raspberry maple syrup for dunking.

If breakfast and lunch had a beautiful, greasy little love child… this would be it.

Get here before Terry eats half of them.
