About Us
The Machine Shed has been featured on the Travel Channel's "Food Paradise" recognizing us as the "Best Breakfast in America." And yes, "Chocolate Covered Bacon" became a phenomonal hit when we served it at the Wisconsin State Fair and it was mentioned throughout the country on TV morning shows and the Tonight Show. The Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger also became a hit after the Shed debuted it at the Wisconsin State Fair, and the American Pickers came and 'picked' the Shed warehouses in Daveport in June of 2010. In October of 2010, famed artist Jim Shore visited the Des Moines Shed for a signing event where hundreds of people came to have their pieces signed by the artist.
