First bite: East Meets West

👋 Jason here: I was excited when I found out the former Motley School Tavern (MST) space in Beaverdale is now a new Asian-American restaurant. Driving the news: East Meets West Kitchen & Bar opened last week. Catch up quick: Owners and married couple Emily and Chao Lin closed MST in September to evaluate their next steps. Their new restaurant and menu give a nod to American comfort food and to China, where Chao grew up and where the couple met. The garlic-lime shrimp lettuce cups. Photo: Jason Clayworth/Axios On my plate: The garlic-lime shrimp lettuce cups, one of the restaurant's house specialties ($23). The plump, juicy shrimp in a buttery sauce, paired with savory fried rice and crisp, refreshing lettuce for a delicious contrast. The meal started with complimentary crab Rangoon. Zoom in: Other menu options include Korean crispy chicken, pork banh mi, wings, burgers and weekend brunch. Dig in: Lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday and brunch Sunday, 1903 Beaver Ave. in Des Moines.
