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?

Shaun Cassidy returns to Des Moines with holiday show

Shaun Cassidy is bringing his holiday show "Unwrapped" to Des Moines' Hoyt Sherman Place later this month. Flashback: Cassidy, 68, is the son of actors Jack Cassidy and Oscar-winning actress Shirley Jones. He rose to fame in the 1970s with the No. 1 hit " Da Doo Ron Ron " and with TV's "The Hardy Boys Mysteries" before becoming a successful writer and producer of shows such as " American Gothic " and " New Amsterdam ." Axios caught up with him for a quick phone interview. Why come to Des Moines? "Well, I have a confession. I played the Hoyt Sherman about, well, maybe three years ago now ( June 2022 ), and I loved it. Not only did I love the venue, but I also loved Des Moines, and I hadn't been there for a very long time, probably not since the late '70s. The city was so beautiful. It was just sort of a magical 24 hours we spent there. So I've been eager to come back since." What can audiences expect from your holiday show? "My crazy experiences around the holidays with my family — with the family I was born into, and the family I've
