Here’s a slightly lighter, and brighter, bit of news out of Iowa about a potentially Zombie Friendly restaurant:

Chef George Formaro announced plans Friday to open Zombie Burger + Drink Lab in the East Village part of downtown Des Moines.

…

Formaro said he’s been a fan of horror movies his whole life.

“If I wasn’t a chef, I’d be a horror movie makeup artist,” said Formaro. “These films have been my form of relaxation for years.”

The restaurant will be divided in two, a full- and quick-service area. Drink Lab will feature a “sinful menu and full bar.” A large patio will also be available along Grand Avenue for zombies who prefer to dine al fresco.

Formaro’s love of horror movies seems to have inspired in him a sympathy for the Zombie Community, and he’s giving something back, which makes The Zombie Rights Campaign very happy indeed. A restaurant that welcomes Zombie patrons while poking gentle fun at a genre that all too often belittles and marginalizes them? This sounds like something we could travel to Iowa for!

They plan to open in August, so those of you in Des Moines have an exciting new Zombie related dining opportunity to look forward to at the end of summer.
