I like flavored meat sticks and I purchased 6 pounds of Skoglunds "regular" meat sticks thru a…read moreschool fund-raiser and they were very good! I saw the company name on the package and when I ran out I ordered more of them directly from their website. If you spend $49 or more you get free shipping - Which I did!! I ordered 10 pounds of meat sticks from Skoglund Meats and my order was shipped out the next day. The reason I ordered that much is because I have problems with high blood-sugar and these meat sticks have replaced the sugar filled high-carb snacks I used to eat - And it works!! It took me almost a week to eat the first 2 pound package of meat sticks (I did also eat some cheese with these as well) and I checked my blood sugar level after they were gone - And it was back to a normal range!! Anyway, if you like meat sticks I highly recommend you try Skoglund Meats. Besides the "regular" beef sticks they have several other flavored beef sticks as well as several flavors of summer sausage too. And I intend to try them all!! Thank You!! https://skoglundmeats.com

We were up there for Christmas this year and in Goldfield, as well as a lot of other small Iowa towns, you're lucky to find anything open in Christmas day. We placed a large order for three pizzas and 40 wings. The wait was about at the 45 min mark, but we assumed the kitche would be busy and ordered with time to spare for dinner. I'd ordered on the app and the food was ready at the noted time when we arrived to pick it up. Actually it was done when we got there...a few minutes early...so that was nice... The food was great. But the real shoutout needs to go to the ladies working on Christmas day...! I'm sure they are compensated (hopefully with 2x holiday pay) and only have to work partial shifts so they can spend time with their family too... We really loved that you all were open and doing what you do. Our family celebrated together on the 26th this year. Most everyone traveled in on the 25th... No one wanted to cook. You are appreciated!

Before there was a Wiliams Sonoma store in the state of Iowa Cooks Emporium has been selling high-quality cooking gear and offering classes in downtown Ames. While the location isn't huge you'll find the well-established brands (All-Clad, Le Creuset, Wusthof) that you trust right here. As someone who enjoys cooking, I can spend a lot of time browsing in here for kitchen gadgets. I do the majority of my business here around the holidays and they do a really nice job of wrapping gifts. They are very helpful in answering questions and guiding you toward the right purchase for your task or gift idea. As I write this review I can see many items that we've purchased from the Cooks Emporium. They are local, offer high-quality merchandise, and offer competitive prices on par with even online-retailers.

I can tell it's because I'm young and tattooed by the look on the lady's face. Good thing she doesn't work on commission. If only she knew I graduated from culinary school four years ago and have been baking professionally since then, including wedding cakes. I'm not just some punk kid who can't afford your over-priced stuff. I usually buy my stuff on the internet - so much cheaper. But I love looking here and it's great for small buys (rubber scrapers) and "crap I need this right now and no one else in town is going to have it" impulse buys (mandoline). Great for seeing an item in person so you know what you want to order online.
