Interesting facts about King Baby Productions' home base.
The National Biscuit Company Building, also known as National Biscuit Company Flats, is a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The heavy timber and masonry building was built in 1906. It initially served as a production and distribution facility for the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco). Architect William F. Wilmouth, who designed the company's buildings is also the architect of this four-story Neoclassical building. It was one of a few bakeries in the company that produced the Uneeda Biscuit, and it was one of three that produced a corn cracker in the mid-1920s.
The National Baking Company would use this building until 1940. Later on, Look magazine used it for a warehouse. In 1995 the building was converted into a 54-unit apartment building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

The Beat Generation was a literary movement that began after the Second World War and is known for its liberal attitudes towards life.
The Beat Generation was influenced by American culture and was broadly popular in the 1950s. The movement rejected traditional narrative elements of novels, short stories, and poems, and materialism. The writers in this movement valued things like the clear and explicit portrayal of the human condition, sexual liberation, and more.

In my new book I about every significant restaurant that's in the district (even one of my favorites that has closed down.) I didn't mention many fast food national chain restaurants, but I did include some local Louisiana chain restaurants. I didn't include any recipes in this book, but you can find many recipes from these restaurants in my earlier publications. One of the special features of my book is each restaurant's complete core menu.
