GREEK EATERY CLOSES AFTER 99 YEARS!

      There was an article in the Des Moines Register yesterday that headlined--"After 99 years, this iconic Iowa hot dog joint is closing its doors." It was about a Sioux City eatery that will close as its owner, Steve Margeas passed away six months ago. It was originally opened in 1918 by his dad George Margeas. 

       If you live in the Des Moines area you can still enjoy a Coney hot dog at Ted's Coney Island on Ingersoll and another location further west. I believe there is also a "Jim's" Coney Island on the south side. And, just for nostalgia, there used to be George's Chili King near Merle Hay Road years ago. It was my personal favorite! Ironically, I never cared for a Chili Dog.
