He passed away a couple years ago and his kiwi shoe server was passed down to me. It has all his polish equipment that he’d acquired throughout his life time. It might not be very valuable, but the memories that come with it makes it one of my most prized possessions.

Click here for more info on how they are now done: http://historyculturebybicycle.blogspot.com/2014/05/search-for-best-loose-meat.html <br /><br />While price is now a factor I am not going to publish the price in the reviews. Instead I simply state whether or not it is a good value for the money. If this bothers you I apologize. <br /><br />I am re-testing all of the still open and operational establishments. Some have closed, others have changed name and ownership while others are brand new. I am not limiting the testing to just the Siouxland area. Do a Google search for the new reviews.

I remember back in the 50's going to the Tastee Inn and Out in Sioux City and getting a loosemeat, a shake, and french fries for 99 cents. Not sure what that would translate to today. And it reminds of the survey that said 5 guys hamburgers were better than McDonald's hamburgers. I would certainly hope so since they cost 3-4 times as much!depressionbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807926826482679149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218768391562947863.post-25969522976449882202014-04-16T09:29:19.793-05:002014-04-16T09:29:19.793-05:00I'm pleased to see my piece on display from th...I'm pleased to see my piece on display from their collection!<br /> ~ Lucien Koonce<br />www.lucienkoonce.com<br />www.lmkoonceceramics.blogspot.comLucien Kooncehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14877934152966281184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218768391562947863.post-22982899529498817782014-01-04T17:29:48.531-06:002014-01-04T17:29:48.531-06:00Chandler Cowden has been a friend for over 50 year...Chandler Cowden has been a friend for over 50 years.

My parents lived in Sioux City for a brief time in the late 50s as newlyweds when my dad finished his MFA. This piece, according to my mom, was part of his Masters exhibit. Dad died in 1987.

I had been considering to do it for awhile and after some looking, settled on this one two months ago or so. Since then I have been learning and having fun. <br /><br />She is really good at showing you how to do things with examples that are easy to understand. The presentation works well as she shows things from all sides when describing what to do, such as how much movement is needed. Very warm personality that is realy enjoying showing me how to Belly Dance.Italiahttp://powerfultools4goalsetting.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218768391562947863.post-47611332101022735942011-07-13T15:23:30.337-05:002011-07-13T15:23:30.337-05:00great review...imo you compared every aspect of th...great review...imo you compared every aspect of the midwest loosemeat completly...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218768391562947863.post-55721375500584199982011-05-12T14:18:58.973-05:002011-05-12T14:18:58.973-05:00John, I just linked this post to my blog (Brenda&#...John, I just linked this post to my blog (Brenda's Canadian Kitchen) under my Loose Meat Sandwich post.
