It is hard to believe, but I haven’t published a tenderloining blog since August 26, 2018 when I recapped Michelle and I’s trip to The Filling Station in Ames. I actually made a few tenderloining trips and I just never got around to telling the world what I experienced. I feel guilty about this because I have a gift. A true gift for evaluating tenderloins. The fact I’m not sharing this with the world is very greedy of me.
The tenderloin I’m going to recap today comes from a trip to the Don Williams Golf Course Clubhouse. It came a few weeks after I ate breakfast there with my Mom and wasn’t overly impressed. A trip that really hammered home my loyalty to The Whistle Stop Cafe for those treasured Saturday morning breakfasts.
Despite the fact that I wasn’t impressed by the breakfast there, I was intrigued by the passion of the new operator of the Clubhouse. He spoke eloquently about his tenderloin and more than one person in the restaurant backed up his bragging.
I decided to organize a trip out there with Scottie D. to give it the test.
Because it is over 6 months since I’ve been there I won’t go into detail about the quality of the tenderloin we experienced. To say it wasn’t very good should be sufficient. I shouldn’t be surprised because people in that area think that The Lucky Pig has a good tenderloin. They are sadly misguided.
Here are a few pictures of our trip:
I have a couple other tenderloining trips to post about eventually. I promise that any 2020 tenderloin trips will be reported on as quickly as possible. Hopefully with the taste of tenderloin still swirling around my mouth.
I know for sure that at some point I have a trip to Corning with Shannon on the books. I will also be visiting New Hampton for a date with a tenderloin at some point soon. The lucky person to join me on that venture is still to be determined. Could be you. But let’s face it, do you really think you have what it takes? Search your soul for the answer.

This is your reminder that this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme is TEXTURE:
TEXTURE
A TEXTURE photo is a photo that concentrates on the feel, appearance, or consistency of the surface of a substance. A reminder that often TEXTURE is more apparent in a black & white image.
Happy photo harvesting!
Not that this will impact our road trip, but my brother will be leaving Corning at the end of June. So if you’d like the local personal touch of a visit to Corning, or perhaps another behind-the-scenes tour of the Opera House, we do have a timeline.
I suppose he has been there a long time by Methodist Pastor standards. Where is he going?
Let’s get this trip on the calendar for sometime soon.
He’s moving to Carlisle, so he’ll only be about 15 minutes away from me. I’m kind of excited about that. I’m game for a road trip soon!
We need to pick a date for this trip to Corning.
