I don’t know
why it’s called "# 29 is fine", but it is.
It’s not too cheesy, it's not "gloppy", it’s quick and easy, it’s just as good at home with
this recipe as it is at Smokey Row.

ReplyDeleteActually I made this for Friday nights supper excluding the salt as my husbands blood pressure had jumped. It was still full flavored and delicious. I featured you, this recipe, and your blog in my blog today including a link back here. Hope you don't mind! Thank you for all of the recipes, photos, and good cheer you pass along.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane...
DeleteGlad you liked it as much as we did.
I just googled a recipe for a Cheeseburger Chowder and your post was near the top. And as I was reading your description, I just knew you were talking about Smokey Row! We have one too. :)
ReplyDeleteFun place to go, isn’t it?
DeleteThe C. wouldn't be for Carla?
I believe I worked at a college in your town a while ago. I definitely remember Smokey Row, however I'm not sure if there is more than one... I was just searching Pinterest for a recipe to make cheeseburger chowder. I'm so happy I stumbled on your site!
ReplyDeleteWell, there are Smokey Row shops in Pella, Oskaloosa, the Sherman Hill neighborhood in Des Moines and the original in Pleasantville. We have enjoyed them all, they are very popular places. They have all the bases covered, coffee and desserts, nice lunches and an ice cream bar/soda fountain.
DeleteI love the Internet! When I searched Smokey Row cheeseburger chowder and saw this, I got so excited. I lived in Pella for 20 years and crave this soup!
