Sending off a co-worker with Chicken Spiedini

As a pleasant surprise, the going away lunch was held at Tursi's Latin King on the east side of Des Moines. The Register listed the chicken spiedini as one of the things to eat in Iowa. I didn't really know what it was and, unfortunately, since the location was secret until we were there, I didn't think to bring my camera to show you. I ordered it and was pleased when it arrived. It's chicken white meat rolled into cylinder about eight inches long and an inch and a half in diameter, marinated and lightly rolled in bread crumbs before being cooked on the grill. It was served with a nice piece of broccoli in a nicely seasoned olive oil; tasty!
