Shannon, being on her week of vacation, wanted to go out and try Proof for lunch. We headed down a little bit after noon.

We went up, I ordered the Duck Lasagna, Shannon had the Chicken and Cous Cous. Both were fantastic. The lasagna had duck, crispy pancetta, a rich sauce and noodles. It was so good.

I'm pretty certain that Proof now has taken the places as my favorite restaurant in Des Moines, and I don't state that lightly.
