DISCOVERY OF IN STATE EATERY DESTINATION!

       This morning in the Des Moines Register and to my delight, I found a new potential in state eatery destination. The article was about an Iowa barbecue joint named state's 'most cozy restaurant.'
       
       For its intimate combination of blues, jazz, and Bourbon Street inspired southern food--plus being located in a 170 year old  historic grist mill -- a small town Iowa barbecue joint was named the "most cozy restaurant in the state"  by Food & Wine magazine. 

        Flatted Fifth Blues & Barbecue, located in the historic Potters Mill building in Bellevue--just about three hours northeast of Des Moines was chosen by Food & Wine for its blend of southern barbecue and Midwestern Charm.

        This place will go the top of my eatery and live music to do list. First, it is only a couple of hours from Williamsburg, Second, its on the Mississippi River which is scenic in itself, Third, I love Cajun/ New Orleans type food, and Fourth, live music of any kind and in a cozy atmosphere is always good. Will be visiting it soon!
