Zombie Burger kicking off Fair fun with 12 Days of Fried-Mas
In case you aren't aware, the Iowa State Fair starts this week, which will be 11 food-filled days of pretty much anything you could want deep-fried. Not to be outdone, Zombie Burger (East Village location only, 3000 E. Grand Ave.) is going one step further with the 12 Days of Fried-Mas starting Wednesday.
It's 12 dishes inspired by fair food, served one per day. Here's a look at why your doctor will be writing you a Lipitor prescription at the end of the month.
