This isn’t true. Iowans like tacos as much as Busch light. Almost every small town has a Mexican restaurant and I could drive you to 10 taco trucks in the DM area.

ROFL
LMAO

With the exception of my wife I haven’t solicited any other family members’ opinions. I don’t want more to think about then I already have.

Their special releases are as good as TG, imo. But they're obviously operating on a much smaller scale than TG so visiting from out of town is more likely to be hit or miss unless planning around a release.

I have family around Lake Rathbun and it always seemed like the locals would make minorities as uncomfortable as possible without being physically threatening. It's a weird area.

White people running taco trucks.

Yes!!!!!

Hey now. Those white people once ate at Del Taco.

This is 100% accurate, it's like what I described above.

That's fair.

More cheddar cheese on my tacos please!!!!!

"what the ****, I thought avocado only went on toast. white toast."

I made the move in the opposite direction about 40 years ago. I lived in southern Iowa from 4th grade through HS and consider it my home town. I think my childhood was fairly idyllic, running around town safe and free. Of course that town is dying the same slow economic death of all small towns. I think Des Moines are a lot the same, DM is a bit more "metropolitan" whereas Wichita is a great big little city. You will definitely be shoveling more snow. And there are plenty of intolerants in both places, but it is usually ignorable.

You do know what they say about all the Southern counties in Iowa? If you gave them all to Missouri, it would increase both state IQs by 40...

I do like lettuce and mayo sandwhiches with my Chili, but never heard of Cinnamon rolls... although I didn't know kids told jokes while trick or treating until I moved to Des Moines.

Are you an animal?

It’s a thing.

:D
