I just wanted to write a quick post about the fabulous weekend I had.
Let me preface this little story by saying that my sister (who lives in Iowa) is a super, Über, zealous, hyper Bruce Springsteen fan.
This summer she called in a state of hysteria to ask me if I would accompany her and my eleven-year-old nephew to Chicago to see Bruce. She was talking so fast that I was somewhat unsure to what I was agreeing.
So, I took Friday off and The Hubs and I drove to Kansas City after work on Thursday. Got to stay at The Phillips (I love Priceline) and had some fun in the Power & Light District.
On Friday morning, we were up early to head further north.
We stopped in Des Moines for lunch and found the most fun burger place—Zombie Burger.
The menu.
The remains.
They definitely don’t take themselves too serious!
We had two great specimens: the La Horde (goat cheese, bacon, caramelized onion, mayo) and Juan of the Dead (green chile + cheese croquette, Monterey Jack cheese, caramelized onion, chipotle mayo). (There was also the “They’re Coming to Get You Barbara” burger!)
That is the skyline of Des Moines in the background.
I actually wrote a paper about George Romero and Night of the Living Dead in college so I absolutely adored this place.
If you are ever in Des Moines, check it out.
More about our fast and furious weekend trip (and The Boss) later……
Warning: The Zombies are coming………….
Oh wow sounds like you had a wonderful time my friend 😀
Keep enjoying!
Cheers

Stay tuned.
LOVE The Boss! My boss had to go to Washington DC for a conference this week so his wife accompanied him and they are going to see him at National Park before they come back home – Last time I saw him was in Tacoma, WA in about 1989 – more or less – My memory gets fuzzy that far back! 🙂 Can’t wait to hear about the concert!
Cool. This was my first time to see him. I was impressed to say the least.
Glad hat you had a great weekend!
What a crazy name for a burger joint! Love it! Sounds like you had fun and good eats!
It was a crazy (in a good way) burger joint. Another specialty was spiked milkshakes but we did not partake of those. 🙂
[…] What a weekend! Zombies and The Boss […]
I was just looking at my food network mag and there’s a mention of the rise of Zombie themed restaurant. This craze is crazed! lol
Wow, that is an odd craze to say the least. That was the first I’d seen or heard of it. One would definitely have to do some market research!
[…] haven’t been keeping up, this is the third installment about my great weekend which featured Zombies, dinosuars, and The Boss last weekend. The […]
