When Nick Offerman is planning a book tour , there’s something in particular the actor and writer wants in potential cities he may swing through.

“We look at how friendly the menus are from the book stores and what meat products are made available from nearby grass-fed butchers and we go from there,” Offerman said in a phone interview with The Des Moines Register on Oct. 8. “It’s all about the burger.”

Whether the dry sense of humor star was serious or not, it doesn’t really matter. Des Moines made the cut.

Beaverdale Books will host an event to celebrate Offerman’s newest book “Little Woodchucks: Offerman Woodshop’s Guide to Tools and Tomfoolery” on Oct. 14.

It’ll take place at the Franklin Event Center, 4801 Franklin Ave. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and the event starts at 6:30 p.m.
