Downtown Restaurant in the National Headlines
As seen on MSNBC.com, our own local downtown restaurant, Baby Boomers Cafe, is selling their chocolate chunk cookies out faster than can they can back them, thanks to our next president, Barack Obama.
The report quotes co-owner Rodney Maxfield, “Two months ago I was giving these cookies away, now, it’s like ‘I need two dozen cookies. I need four-dozen cookies.”
The Obama family frequented Boomers often last summer when he was hearing campaigning. Obama’s main office was next door to Boomers, and his staff made the cafe a second home. During his last rally here in Des Moines, his staff ordered about a dozen cookies for the family. That’s when word got out about their affection for the confection.
Now they are selling almost a 1,000 of these cookies a week.
