Iowa State Fair Blue Ribbon Bar & Eatery begins remodel
DES MOINES, Iowa — This week the rebirth started at an Iowa State Fair landmark, the old Steer 'N' Stein. After action taken by the Iowa State Fair, a new vendor was allowed to re-make the location into something entirely new. It will be called the Blue Ribbon Bar & Eatery. Changes coming to Hy-Vee Market Grille locations 'Our goal here was to really just open up the venue and try and get it so that if you're a person inside, you can look out and see because the true action happens down Grand Avenue and you can see what happens down the street and look down towards the Grandstand,' said Diana Marquardt, who is leading the remodel effort. 'Honestly, what an ideal location we were given like the Steer 'N' Stein carries a lot of nostalgia with the Iowa State Fair and we definitely want to carry on that type of nostalgia.' The plan also calls for live entertainment. 'That was one of the first things we started working on was what groups can we invite,' said Marquardt. 'One to two artists every day from things like dueling pianos so there's a great Hispanic band that comes out of Chicago, on the first Sunday afternoon.' The bottom line attraction for owner Joni Bell is the food. 'We've got some great creations. You're not gonna wanna miss them,' said Bell. 'Tony has really really put some good inspiration in this year and designed some new things that I've told him this is what I think would be good then he creates them.'

Hy-Vee closing bars at KC metro stores
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Hy-Vee is closing all of the bars at its stores in the Kansas City metro area, the supermarket chain said Wednesday. Tina Potthoff, a spokesperson for Hy-Vee, told FOX4 there wasn't enough interest or consumer demand. Missouri Election Results: April municipal, school races in Kansas City Bar service will end on May 1. The chain also announced it will be updating its in-store Hy-Vee Market Grille menu and dining areas. Hy-Vee said orders for made-to-order breakfast and lunch menu items can now be placed with an employee at the counter pay station from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily. Every day until 8 p.m., customers can also order food options like pizza and fried chicken, Hy-Chi or Nori Sushi. Hy-Vee said in a statement that it's trying to make the experience 'consistent across all locations.' 'We're trying to standardize it,' Potthoff told FOX4. Those menu changes went into effect on Monday, she said. FOX4 also asked if there will be any layoffs as a result of these closures. 'There's not going to be any, actually,' Potthoff said. 'We're offering them other positions in the stores.' Hy-Vee said employees who worked as servers were asked to stay at their stores, with most now working in other areas of food service or other departments. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
