Shameless Personal Employee Promotion: Vote For Stewart's Bipartisandwich

I love sandwiches. Who doesn’t? They’re portable, convenient, and accessible. Kind of like beer, right? So when I heard about the St. Louis Bread Company Sandwich Showdown, a competition to find the best new sandwich recipe, I had to enter.

Representing Schlafly At The RAGBRAI

There are many events throughout time that are steeped in tradition. RAGBRAI is one of these events. The Registers Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa is a bike tour unlike any other in this country.  Averaging 68 miles a day across the beautiful (and surprisingly hilly) state of Iowa, approximately 20,000 riders set out for seven days of excruciating fun. This year marks the 39th year of the ride and all the rich traditions that accompany it: Dipping your rear tire in the Missouri River and (eventually) front tire in the Mississippi, writing “Ragbrai Virgin” on your legs with a permanent marker to commemorate your first trip, stuffing your face with breakfast burritos from Farm Boys, and, of course, enjoying many well deserved, ice cold beers.
