Cheez pleez! A Bloody Mary and breakfast egg rolls at The Walnut in DSM. Part of their weekend brunch menu. Rolls come with sides of maple syrup and queso.

Feeling drained after a fortnight of Fair-related labors, I needed a break. So I went to CentroDSM for half-price pizza & beer Monday. Inspired by a recent Facebook post from George Formaro, I cobbled up a 'grinder' pizza with a double portion of Graziano's Italian sausage, extra red sauce…

The coney from 2014 in comparison. FYI, growing up with all three Coney Islands (downtown, Jim's, and Ted's) and George the Chili King, cheese wasn't something I had with a chili dog.

The chili is rather good and a step up from the bean-laden chili of yesteryear. A line of mustard would have been a good compliment, but I was giddy enough to get my hands on a footlong coney in likely double-digit years.

A footlong hot dog from the Coney Corner stand at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Soft bun, tasty wiener, grilled onions, with sides of chili and cheese sauce. With chili, it’s a pretty decent coney. I skipped on the cheese sauce.

Feeling splurgy, I also grabbed a container of the regular blue cheese crumbles for a bargain price plus some garlic & herb cheddar spread made for Maytag Dairy Farms. The latter is pretty darn good on a Premium saltine. I'll save the crumbles to make a sandwich spread to enjoy on a baguette.

Maytag Dairy Farms' Farm Reserve blue cheese. It's drier and more crumbly than its younger, more familiar cousin. It's not a funk monster, so if you're a casual fan of blue, you should enjoy this cheese. The rind has a wee hint of crystal I find so appealing, like that found in aged cheddar.
