Two pieces of news:

(1) Pepperjax on South Duff is now listed as "permanently closed" on Google.


(2) The old Fazoli's spot on North Grand will soon house Clayton Farms' new venture:

Went to Taza for the first time the other day. I think it might be my favorite restaurant in Ames now. I love Middle Eastern food.

The old Valentinos north of Walmart is a Mexican place now. That’s gotta be like the fourth different place there in the last ten years.

Rinconcito now. It's really good, the birria tacos and quesadilla are excellent.
I’ve heard really good things.

I tried the cheesesteak cart on campus this week. Pretty damn good. Will go again.

The salad thing could really work. Cool idea.

The new Italian restaurant by Quality Inn on 13th street is pretty dang good. Pasta Al Forno. It beens getting a lot of good reviews. Went there for lunch last week. Menu has lunch specials for $8.95. I had lasagna and you get a soup or salad and a roll. Rolls were hot and salad was huge! Guy I was with had blue cheese dressing and the chunks of blue cheese were size of half dollar. Place was full but like a lot of places, understaffed. Going again tonight!
