Korean fried chicken chain bb.q Chicken coming to Des Moines

The Des Moines metro's Korean fried chicken scene is still young enough that many diners can trace its growth in real time. A few years ago, finding Korean-style fried chicken often meant tracking down a pop-up or ordering from a ghost kitchen. Now one of South Korea's biggest fried chicken brands is preparing to join the local lineup. The globally recognized Korean fried chicken chain, bb.q Chicken , whose name stands for "Best of the Best Quality," is slated to open in the Goldfinch Lofts development at 3404 Ingersoll Ave. in 2027, bringing one of the world's most influential Korean fried chicken concepts to Des Moines, according to a permit filed with the city. Goldfinch Lofts, Cutler Developments’ newest mass timber mixed-use project, is a three-story, carbon-neutral building with apartments above and 9,602 square feet of retail at the base. The Collective, the sustainable retail shop , plans to open on the ground floor in November, leaving its Highland Park space. For local fried-chicken fanatics, it's more than another restaurant opening. It's the latest sign that Korean fried chicken has moved from niche cuisine to one of the fastest-growing dining segments in the Des Moines metro. What is bb.q Chicken?

RAGBRAI 2027 registration opens with new options

Registration is open for RAGBRAI 2027, the 54th edition of the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, with organizers introducing changes they expect will please riders. One is a registration deferral option, allowing riders who pay for registration to wait until the following year to use it. The other is a payment plan for those who can't, or prefer not to, pay the entire amount up front. Both will be available at no additional cost to riders when registration opens Sunday, Nov. 15. The options are possible because RAGBRAI is switching to a new and more versatile online platform for registration, RAGBRAI Ride Director Matt Phippen told the Des Moines Register. More: RAGBRAI 2027 logo revealed. What does it tell us about the ride? "It's going to show riders that we are listening and we're taking what you say serious," Phippen said.
