Wow, that strip mall sure has a lot of charm. Anyway, what the shit is this notice: "Due to extreme cold, delivery of today's Des Moines Register may be delayed." Pussies. I carried the Register for years. We got it out in that big ice storm that knocked out power for fucking days during the girls state basketball tournament. We got it out in the Flood of '93. These fucking pussies. |

Again i must state my anti Zombie stance in life. The entire concept of Zombies is stupid, and I will not watch shows about them or eat at a burger joint named after them. Good riddance.

Zombie Burger is meh at best. It's a burger. There's really only so much you can do. People were all like "OMG, you have to go to Shake Shack" when they opened in Chicago. Got burger. Got fries. Got shake. Fine. They were fine. $17 for lunch. Get the fuck out of here. There are certainly qualitative differences between those places and McDonald's, but at the end of the day if you use decent meat and fry a burger on a flat top it is going to taste pretty much the same no matter where you go. "But OMG, they have such zany toppings." Don't fucking care. |

Most of these joints are ridiculously overpriced tho. I can get a pound of great ground beef at Fareway for 4 bucks. |

Dad might run into the Zombie Burger downtown after work for one and a beer after a hard day of filling out TPS reports at Principal, but if you got two kids, you ain't taking Ma and the kids out to the strip mall for hamberders and shakes to the tune of damn near forty or fifty fucking bucks. It ain't worth it. 4 Ps of marketing: Product Price Place Promotion They missed on the place. Shit like that has to be downtown where you'll get decent foot traffic and sell some high margin alcohol or in the mall where you can get a lot of impulse buyers for volume. |

The only reason to ever go to burger joint are the fries. Deep frying is such a fucking pain. Anyone got one of dem air fryers? |

These successful urban joints often get sucked into skAnkeny based on some bullshit consulting firm market analysis. Suburban prole ain’t their market. Know thyself. |

Food establishments struggle in Ankeny. Back to the burger. Listen Mr Grand Avenue the finest burgers any where are The Rusty Duck in Dexter and DMGCC. All the rest are just second tier and both are cheaper then the over priced Zombie. www.yelp.com/biz/rusty-duck-dexter |

I had the best steak in maybe five years, outside of my own cooking, last year at at the rusted duck.
Very overpriced, but good. They like to smother things in peppers and onions too, which whatever I guess.

I usually go out to Zombie Burger once a year when we take out some clients in teh Dez. Every time I think, this is good, but it wasn't worth waiting 15 minutes for a table.

Are tables large enough to present your portfolio of printed music?
