Scottie D., Tenderloining

Cololoin

Scottie D. and I are in constant search of the planet’s best tenderloin. As Iowa is home to the best tenderloins on the planet, we haven’t had to stray too far from our front door.

Recent events have forced us out of those front doors as the BK’s in Ogden was home to what we both considered the best tenderloin on the planet. But now BK’s has closed and become The Lucky Pig. If anybody tries to tell you that The Lucky Pig has a comparable or even better tenderloin than BK’s, that person clearly knows nothing about tenderloins. NOTHING!!!

However, this isn’t a journal entry about what is wrong with The Lucky Pig’s tenderloin. This is an entry about the greatness of the tenderloin served at The Country House in Colo. The New Reigning Tenderloin King!*

Here are a few pictures from our trip to Colo and our tasting of greatness.



Bow before your King!

If you are interested in trying tenderloin greatness, The Country House is in Colo, right off US30. Next to the Twin Anchors Campground. Be warned, they don’t serve the tenderloin on Sundays, but they are definitely worth eating at on Sundays as well. They serve a giant spread family style on Sundays with flat out the best cole slaw I’ve ever had in my life. It is cheap too. $10.95 for a ton of food.

*The King until we find something better, but the bar has been set high!

Jesse and I went on a road trip a ways back. Here are some images from that trip, provided with the occasional commentary.



I love the fact that “Loafing” was prohibited.


I had to have this picture taken as 1 of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies (Taxi Driver) is when Robert DeNiro takes his date to the porn theater because he doesn’t know any better.


The chick that ran this place was awesome & I think we were her favorite guests of the day.


There aren’t enough buildings in Iowa that are marked where a ship ran into them.


Tebow!


Anybody who knows the exact reason why we stopped to take this picture is one of my favorite people in the world.

I am already looking forward to our next road trip. Maybe a couple more people will join us. If interested, forward your Road Tripping Resume to me. We will be looking for people with a sense of adventure and a large bladder. The bladder size is negotiable.

Personal Photo Project of the Week #96

This project was to take pictures with the Partial Color (Red) setting on the Alpha 35. Many of these pictures are failed experiments. Although I don’t really think any experiment is actually a failure.

Thomas Edison was once asked if he felt bad for failing on his attempt to make a light bulb a 100 or so times. He said something like, “I didn’t fail making the light bulb 100 times. I learned how not to make a light bulb 100 times.”

Then he went back to electrocuting cats. He was a swell guy, old Tom Edison.

Here are a few more pictures from The Spice Series:
