I am personally going to make a map of all the restaurants in the eastern Iowa tourism region of the state as I seem to be spending a lot of my time there. My desire first started when a girlfriend of mine in the area started taking me out to eat to repay me for chores that I had done for her. I did a lot of chores so there were a lot of meals. She doesn’t like to take the time to cook so the restaurant idea was launched. We only went to the same restaurant once every other meal was at a different place. The funny thing was that we would start to run into the same people in different establishments. Then I found out one of the things she did was to read the local attractions section of the paper. She would read about a place with a good review and want to go check it out. Apparently there were several other couples in the area doing the same thing. Most of these restaurants were recently opened and it seems that is one of the best ways to get your initial business. You call up the local paper and offer their food critic a free meal in exchange for a review.

A group of restaurant owners are following the lead of some wineries in the area and instead of having a wine trail they are having a restaurant trail. They plan on harvesting more of the east central Iowa tourism dollar than in previous years. There restaurants are all within an hours drive of the Quad Cities and have varied menus. At any one of these establishments you can pick up a map and a punch card. The map shows where each eatery is located and they are color coded as what kind of fare they serve. As you would expect the restaurants along the river all serve seafood although some of them are also listed as a good place to get a steak. The more upscale sites are in the uptown areas although some of them also have fish on the menu. A trail runner takes his punch card to the place he has chosen to eat and gets it marked for that establishment. After having visited all the places on the map and gotten a stamp from each one the card can be redeemed for a night’s stay in one of the listed motels – all of which contain a fine restaurant.

One of the best parts of reading anything about Iowa tourism is that Iowans love their food and more often than not incorporate that into the event. Take the Iowa State fair for example. The center of the fair revolves around the raising of food from the beef, pork and sheep to the tomatoes, beets, and turnips. And one of the things that the locals know very well – you can get more different foods on a stick here than anywhere else in the world.  You can find all the normal things such as a deep fried corn dog, but you can get some exotic things as well such as a deep fried dill pickle on a stick. Two years ago one vender came up with the idea of selling a chili dog on a stick. He incorporated the chili into the breading surrounding the dog and deep fried the whole thing. Another vender was selling deep fried Snickers on a stick that went over quite well with the younger crowd. There was the all Iowa pork chop on a stick that was developed specifically to be marketed at the fair. Of course we can’t for get the meat balls on a stick. That was one of the few things that didn’t have to be deep fat fried!
