Food in Sioux City was shit. First of all there is nowhere to go and all the places we decided to go to were average at best, horrible at worst. Green Gables, a restaurant that is touted as the oldest surviving restaurant in Sioux City, is sadly nothing more than a glorified Denny’s. Kahill’s Steakhouse at the Marina Inn and what seems to literally be the Republican Headquarters of the Siouxland, Luciano’s, both had the prices of a more mid-priced upscale restaurant but neither rose above being anything but serviceable.

Do you!), I feel it’s necessary to softly bring you in. I don’t want to move too fast, we need to be gradual about this as to not scare you away (this is something I learned from the really cool pick-up artist Mystery, something which I had no prior concept of. Who knew you just stood to the side of someone? Amazing!).
