Man vs Food: Des Moines 10/06/10
The challenge in this episode was, to put it mildly, absurd. Five pounds of food in 15 minutes? Talk about being set up for failure. I don't think I could chew that much food in 15 minutes even if I had unlimited stomach capacity.
Those bacon-wrapped tater tots looked good though.

I've been meaning to try the Emmanecker sandwich for a few years. Maybe on my birthday in March.
The bacon-wrapped tater tots are awesome.

Haven't watched the whole thing yet, but those bacon-wrapped tater tots. And that's easy to do with a deep fryer. Have to try that.
Not sure about a reuben pizza or even the concept of sauerkraut on a pizza (and I love sauerkraut). They'd probably have something I'd like though, not that I'm ever going to be in Des Moines.

Yeah, 15 minutes seemed a bit absurd to me too. Jethro's has pretty badass BBQ, though. And the High Life Lounge is awesome too. Those bacon-wrapped tater tots are just about the best thing ever.

There was/is talk of building an indoor rainforest near me. I believe that people would come from as far as East Dubuque, IL to see that.

I was there when they were filming the High Life Lounge portion and some guy walked in and asked what was going on. I told him they were filming a show and he looked a little confused and walked out.
It wasn't until a few minutes later I realized that I had told him they were filming Man vs. Wild. It would've been an interesting location for it.
