Skydives Lands in Des Moines

Smitty's recently had a visit from the WGN News show "Skydives." It was such an honor to be recognized in this way.  

According to the "Skydives" FAQ on their website. The concept for the show was created by Lee Abrams who enjoys flying for food trips. They are flying to different cities all across America and eating at a few locations and reviewing them. 

They flew into Des Moines last month to do the filming for our episode. Here are a few pictures we snapped while they did their "work."

We will let you know as soon as they post the video. It is scheduled to air next Sunday on WGN.
