Papa Kerns CafeOwner: Garold KernAddress: 2905 Hubbell Ave.Phone: 262-7692I opened the doors of my shop a little over a year ago. I was tired of taking orders and being told how to portion my food and run my business. I have always had my own ideas of how a family-oriented restaurant business should be run, and now I can do just that. With big portions of well-presented, free food, you never leave here hungry or broke. I make sure that we bring a clean and family-friendly dining experience to our neighborhood every day we open our doors. We are very thankful for our wonderful and dedicated customers, who make us a come-as-you-are type of business with a relaxed and comfortable feel. They always tell me that our Ma-and-Pa-type setting, amazing breakfasts and prices keep new and old customers coming back week after week. We like to support our local community, and we hope that you choose to eat local with us as well.


Wasabi ChiSushi’s next big move in Des Moines came from New York. Trained in Japan, Jay Wang worked the sophisticated New York City sushi scene into his mid 30s. A family man by then, he visited Des Moines for a wedding and realized that central Iowa was a good place to raise kids and own a business. He moved here and opened Wasabi Chi in 2011, followed by Wasabi Tao early this year. So far he has recruited 12 other New Yorkers, plus one Californian, of similar age and background to live and work in Des Moines.

“It was easier to talk them into coming here than to train guys from scratch. New York-style sushi takes years to master,” he explained.

Having two restaurants made it possible to air freight rare fish that Wang and his partners appreciate. “We’re getting 90 percent of our fish by direct shipping now. It’s more expensive, but with New York sushi, it’s more about the fish than the knife skills. So we need to do this,” Wang said.

Their Hawaiian suppliers are small boat operators who specialize in fishes Wang and his partners love — kampachi, ono madai (red sea bream), amberjack and kajiki. They get their lobster and bass from Florida oysters and scallops from Washington state. Facebook and email make it possible for the restaurants to alert their growing list of adventurous fish lovers when they get a direct delivery from Tokyo’s Tsukiji, the holiest of shrines among the world’s fish markets. Recently Wang sourced cherry blossom snapper, needlefish and golden eye snapper from Tsukiji.

“Golden eye is unlike other snapper. It’s richer and oilier and comes only from the Sea of Japan. Those fish cost us $70-$100 a pound, so we can‘t order them all the time,” he explained.

The two Wasabi restaurants feature things like live scallops — mollusks that are literally still alive when the itamae prepares them for customers. “They have

an incredible amount of umami (the legendary sixth flavor of Japanese cuisine) and a definite fresh, live taste. Just smelling them conjures the sea,” Wang added.

Wang noted that fish are seasonal like fruits and vegetables. “Most deep water fish and fish roe are best in late winter when the cold waters fatten them up. Shellfish, too, is best in winter. Snappers, whitefish and lobster, though, are best in hot weather. Softshell crabs are for springtime.”

Hinge

Owner: Kelsey MihalovichAddress: 218 Fifth St., West Des MoinesPhone: 777-2770Website: www.hingeon5th.com

How many years have you been in business? This is my first year in business. What did you do before you started your business? I graduated from the University of Iowa with a business and entrepreneur degree in 2011. After graduation I worked with Menards as a hardware manager. How did you get into your business? I have always had a love for antiques and anything that has great patina and character. The one-of-a-kind pieces that come into my store each have their own unique story to tell. I wanted to create a store that would give these stories a chance to live and be appreciated.

Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden reopens, looks ahead to 2014

The Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden reopened its doors to nearly 2,700 visitors on Sept. 28 after a three-month construction closure. Construction continues on Phase I gardens, scheduled to open next summer.

The reopening comes halfway through the $11.6 million project and includes a new lobby and office suite, renovated event spaces and improvements to the conservatory’s pathways, gardens and balcony. The lobby is now home to Iowa’s first living wall, along with a garden shop featuring an assortment of naturally inspired gifts and books. Trellis, the Botanical Garden’s new café under the culinary direction of Lisa LaValle, will open this November.

“Reopening the building is an important milestone as we embark on this new beginning,” said President and CEO Stephanie Jutila. “The revival of the conservatory and the upgrades to the building will position us as a dynamic cultural institution with a passion for plants.”

The reopening comes as the Botanical Garden continues to develop several acres of outdoor gardens. Outdoor renovations will be completed throughout 2013 and 2014, and include a new entry garden and parking lot, water garden, terraces, shade tree allée, a walled event lawn encircled by perennial borders and a conifer and gravel garden. The $6.2 million “We Are a Garden Now” campaign marks the second phase of fundraising for the budding cultural institution. The campaign will raise money for the development of two additional gardens and expansion of the Botanical Garden’s curation activities. The annual and bulb parterre will be a formal garden room at the northern end of the alleé. The hillside garden will provide a breathtaking backdrop to the walled garden below, providing a unique opportunity for garden visitors to view the gardens from above with the Des Moines skyline in the background. The Botanical Garden will eventually develop the entire 14-acre property situated along the Des Moines River with gardens.

The Botanical Garden is located at 909 Robert D. Ray Drive and open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., except major holidays. Regular admission is $5 for adults, $4 for adults 65 and older, $3 for children ages 4-17 and free for children 3 and younger. Admission is free with membership. More information about events, programming and attractions is online at www.dmbotanicalgarden.com.

Glazed ExpressionsOwner: Laura RiegelAddress: 8826 Swanson Blvd., ClivePhone: 224-4700Website: www.glazedexpressions.comHow many years have you been in business? Fourteen fantastic years. We opened our doors in July 1999.

What made you want to open your business? Fear of corporate America, and I can’t be fired. I have always wanted to have an art studio where anyone could come and create. It also allowed me to spend time with my family whom I have employed.

What do you and your business bring to the community? Fun and lots of happiness. The studio is a place for people to come and spend quality time together. Making art is the icing on the cake.

Noah’s ArkOwner: Jima Lacona Address: 2400 Ingersoll Ave.Phone: 288-2246 Website: www.noahsdesmoines.comHow many years have you been in business? Noah’s was opened 66 years ago in 1946, and I took it over from my father in 2010.

What products/services/cuisine do you offer? Our most popular item is pizza, as well as traditional Italian American cuisine with our own sauces, bread and rolls made from scratch daily, steaks I hand-cut myself and seafood.

What makes your business unique from the chains that carry similar products/services/menu items? Noah introduced Pizza to the Des Moines Area 66 some years ago, when he handed out samples to customers who had not heard of or seen Pizza before. We have a full scratch bakery to bake bread and rolls every day, and our sauces are faithfully prepared from Noah’s original recipes.

She-Nae’s Rescued and Renewed Owner: Sheila O’Riley and Rene’ FosterAddress: 311 W. Montgomery St., Creston Phone: 641-782-2252Website: www.she-naes.comHow many years have you been in business? Just since May 1, 2013. What made you want to open your business? We’ve each enjoyed rescuing items (junk) from landfills and making them useful and beautiful again to use in our own homes. Sheila recently retired from her career with the State of Iowa and Rene’ was recently displaced from her career. A mutual friend introduced us a few months ago, and we decided to open a business doing what we love to do. What do you and your business bring to the community? We offer unique pieces for the home and garden. We give other repurposers/upcyclers a place to market their creations. We do custom work for people. In a sense, we provide a service by putting old pieces back in homes instead of the landfill.

LOCALLY OWNEDWhen one international conglomeration owns nearly every print publication in the Des Moines metro area, that doesn’t leave you with many options. Which is why there’s cityview. We believe that you deserve an alternative to the cut-and paste variety of “news” that seems less and less to have its finger on the pulse of our community. Unlike the local daily and its dozens of publications, our newspaper is locally owned and operated by people who have roots in Central Iowa and thus know it well — something we feel to be truly important, and that which sets us apart. So to our weekly readers, we’d like to say thanks. We’re proud to be Des Moines’ only alternative.

Hatfield Lakes has become the premier boutique resort

that Iowa has to offer. Our clientele range from outdoor

enthusiast to head political figures. As the owner of Hatfield

Lakes, my team and I take the utmost pride in not only the

property but with the satisfaction of our customers.

When we planned our retreat in Iowa, we positioned

the cabins to provide our guests with as much privacy as

possible to give a more private and relaxing getaway. Our private 1,500-acre

retreat located in Creston offers a tranquil and peaceful getaway while retaining

every amenity you need.

We are located in the perfect location for private fishing on the estate. We

have hundreds of acres to hike, see wildlife such as turkey, deer, pheasant and

quail, and to fish — catch bass, perch, blue gill and walleye.

Our 110-year-old log home, the Stott House, was named to

commemorate the family that homesteaded the land and built

the old farmhouse. English immigrants Ida, Jake and Tom built the

original home from various houses that they pulled by horse and

buggy to the farm. They built the home piece by piece and lived in it during their

lifetime. The Hatfields rebuilt and restored the relic home, using logs, installing

hand-hewn beams, adding massive porches and updating the interior, while still

keeping the style and the “feel” of the vintage home built more than one a

century ago.

Hatfield Lakes is located in south central Iowa, which is an area unmatched

for woodland and prairie habitat, with 2,500 acres of publicly-owned woodland

and upland prairie. Within three to nine miles, we enjoy Green Valley State

Park, McKinnley Lake, Summit Lake, Three-Mile Lake and 12-Mile Lake. In our

surrounding Iowa state parks, we have wildlife habitat for white-tail deer, quail,

geese, ducks, wild turkey, pheasants and other upland species. This part of Iowa

is known for year-round angling of walleye, crappie, bluegill and trophy bass.

Joker’s

On Dec. 28, 2012, Jokers took the Des Moines Nightlife scene by storm. Bringing a whole new look and feel to the property that was originally Liars Club. The club now has a high energy EDM music format backed up with one of the biggest sound and light shows in Iowa. Joker’s high-energy atmosphere has brought a whole new level of excitement to the Court Avenue District. While most clubs would just be happy to give you the same experience night after night Jokers has

strived to bring the hottest DJ’s from all over Iowa and the world. Names like Joe Maz, Tony Martinez, Tina T and DJ Obscene just to name a few. DJs, sound and lights are just one aspect of the overall experience, the biggest part of the experience is the crowd every night. Jokers makes the crowd a part of the show with exclusive bottle service areas in our VIP section, as well as pictures of the crowd that are broadcast on every television in the club. After being named one of the best Nightclubs in Des Moines in April 2013 and more recently in August 2013 one of the best Dance Clubs all we can say is WE ARE JUST GETTING WARMED UP!!! The

Zimms

Returning to Iowa 20 years ago, I realized why I often missed Des Moines. The smiling faces and the helping hands stand out here in our community above any other. Zimm’s is a place I created for our friends to meet, enjoy good food and thirst-quenching libations. With TVs to watch our favorite sports, a stage for live entertainment, a patio to enjoy the outdoors and a pub filled with games, there is something for everyone. So bring your friends, meet new people and enjoy yourself, 365 days a year.
