She's bringing together our smoked-to-perfection chopped brisket, mixed veggies, creamy mushroom sauce, a savory cheese blend, and seasoned tots for one heck of a homestyle casserole!

πŸŽƒ NEW Weekly Sweet Treat: Pumpkin Bars! πŸŽƒ

Y'all, we saved one more surprise for our menu shakeup, and this one's all Julia!

If you haven't figured it out by now, Julia doesn't do anything halfway! Her passion, creativity, and drive to bring new ideas to the table never cease to amaze us.

One pie feature wasn't enough for her! Along with her idea for a classic Monthly Pie Feature, she wanted to bring y'all something a little different every week. And just like that, our NEW Weekly Sweet Treat was born!

We're kicking things off this Saturday with a taste of fall! A dense, fudgy pumpkin bar topped with rich cream cheese frosting. The perfect sweet finish to some smokin' good BBQ!

We're mighty proud to have Julia on our team, and even more excited to share what she's been creating with y'all!

What an inspiring afternoon at the Catch Des Moines Annual Celebration!

We were honored to be part of a room filled with so many passionate people working together to make Greater Des Moines a place people want to visit, explore, dine, and experience all that our communities have to offer.

One word we heard throughout the afternoon was momentum, and boy, could you feel it! We're excited to be part of that momentum and continue doing our part to help Greater Des Moines grow and thrive.

And a HUGE shout-out to our friends at ChaCha's Hiland Bakery for being recognized as a Catch Des Moines Champion Partner! We're big fans of both the bakery and the wonderful people behind it, and couldn't be happier to see them celebrated!

Thank you, Catch Des Moines, for bringing so many great people together. We're proud to be part of what's happening in Central Iowa!
