This Iowa Pub Serves A Breaded Pork Tenderloin So Big You’ll Wish You’d Planned Ahead For The Homemade Pie

The owners of this pub raise hogs for a living, and their breaded tenderloin once won the title of best in Iowa. That is a farm-to-table story with serious bragging rights. I love when a place backs up its name like that. The tenderloin gets hand-pounded in the kitchen. Then...

This Family-Owned Nebraska Steakhouse Still Hand-Cuts Its Steaks The Old-Fashioned Way

A 60-gallon kettle of spaghetti sauce simmers for eight hours every single day here. The recipe traces back to Carlentini, Sicily, and the family still keeps it secret. Then come the steaks. They’re Angus beef, aged 21 days, and hand-cut in-house the way it was done generations ago. I appreciate a kitchen that refuses to take shortcuts on the main event.

Shoppers Are Ordering Holiday Meats From 8 Nebraska Smokehouses That Still Cure Over Real Wood

One Omaha meat market has been smoking sausage and ham at the same address since 1949. That’s more than 75 years of holiday orders going out the same door. I love that kind of staying power. Across Nebraska, small lockers and butcher shops still cure hams, bacon, and sausages the slow way.
