A couple Fridays back I actually got to leave work early on a Friday. Due to our staffing levels, that has been a pretty rare phenomenon. Frequently if I take off early when working from home, I will celebrate by driving over to Jefferson and hitting A&W. I enjoy the… Read More »Food Truckin’: North Grand Mall Field Work
Today is Jorge’s birthday! So happy birthday Jorge! I mean, anybody willing to pose for a picture like this deserves to have an amazing birthday! +++++++ A few weeks back Carla, Teresa, and I drove to What Cheer, Iowa to hit up their flea market. The original plan was just… Read More »I Scream: Monroe Field Work
Today is Colleen’s birthday, so happy birthday Colleen! I hope it is as magical as you want it to be! +++++++ On the health spectrum, this post is about a food item that couldn’t be more on the opposite end of the “healthy eating” spectrum than a tenderloin if it… Read More »Salad Shooting: Ames Field Work
A couple Saturdays back after Logan and I did some photography for Sleeping Angels, we need to get a meal. We were going to eat burgers and dogs with the motorcyclists (if time permitted) but the map mishap cost us that chance. So after we concluded taking pictures by the… Read More »Burgertime: Grimes Field Work
I’ve decided to lump all of my Chicago food adventures into one massive post. I was in Chicago for parts of 7 days and ate meals there on 6 of those days. Some of them great. Some of the good. Some of them bad. All of them photographed. I started… Read More »Chicago Food Adventures
A few weeks back Brandon and I tried to go to Flight in Huxley after church. However, when we got there it was closed for a private event. (Flight did just win Best Burger in Iowa, in case you didn’t see.) So we ended up going to Claxon’s Smokehouse &… Read More »Tenderloining: Altoona Field Work
Back in February, after church, Teresa and I met Sheri down in Ankeny at Naughtea for lunch. Naughtea specializes in serving a variety of bubble teas and Korean hot dogs. I had no clue what a Korean hot dog was, but I was more than game to find out. You… Read More »Hot Dog! – Ankeny Field Work
Between church and watching a community theater play a few weeks back Carla, Teresa, and Humble Narrator went to the only other Iowa Best Burger Finalist that is in my natural grazing area. We went to Ben’s Burgers in Ankeny. To be honest, I don’t really consider Ankeny to be… Read More »BurgerTime: Ankeny Field Work
I’m hoping somebody out there is enjoying these Sunday food adventure posts as much as I enjoyed eating this food. Still finding my footing a little bit on the format, but that is okay. Today’s post is about a tenderloin I knocked down in Oskaloosa back in December on a… Read More »Tenderloining: Oskaloosa Field Work
Today is Easter, so happy Easter! Happy Easter! Rather than trying to write something about Easter, I thought I would just borrow a devotional written by the Bishop of the Iowa Methodist churches about fish. In Death, Shedding Life By Bishop Kennetha Bigham-Tsai Episcopal Leader, Iowa Annual Conference of the… Read More »The Infamous Tenderloin Tripleheader
Almost all of my food posts are about tenderloins. But I confess that I haven’t been tenderloining much lately. Would you believe I haven’t had a fried tenderloin this entire year? I’ve had two grilled tenderloins. One from Nite Hawk Bar & Grill in Slater and one from the Colorado… Read More »BurgerTime: Huxley Field Work
I would be remiss if I didn’t begin by noting that the Iowa Pork Producers Association announced the 2022 winner for Iowa’s Best Breaded Pork Tenderloin. Here is the press release: A car dealership-turned-restaurant is where you’ll find Iowa’s Best Breaded Pork Tenderloin for 2022. Lid’s Bar & Grill in… Read More »Keokuk County Aux
Going to share a couple of tenderloin experiences today. One was from a couple months ago when I went to Freddy’s with Teresa and had their tenderloin, which was a limited time thing. Usually I don’t record (or even eat) fast food tenderloins, but I figured, what the heck. Freddy’s… Read More »Tenderloin Appreciation Society – Ames Field Work X2
Today is Good Friday. I thought I would share an image I took on a recent road trip that represents Good Friday before getting to a Good Friday devotional. This devotional I took from the UMC website and was written by Rev. Dr. Hannah Ka: Scripture: Mark 15:33-41 From noon… Read More »Tenderloin Appreciation Society – Harlan Field Work
A couple Saturdays back Scottie D. and I and his family hit up one of my favorite restaurants in Ames to try their tenderloin. That restaurant is Time To Roll. It is located in North Grand Mall and the reason I love them so much is they have a knock-off… Read More »Tenderloin Appreciation Society – Ames Field Work
About a month back, I finally started my journey on The Tenderloin Trail 2.0. If you don’t know what the Tenderloin Trail 2.0 is, here is some information on it from the Iowa Pork Producers website: Iowans’ favorite pork dish is the breaded pork tenderloin. You can be rewarded for… Read More »Tenderloin Trail 2.0 – Stop #7
Last Saturday, when Teresa and I were out harvesting town signs, I was hoping to finally hit the first destination on The Tenderloin Trail 2.0. Wood Iron Grille is one of the stops. So I planned for us to eat lunch there, when we hit the Oskaloosa area. Unfortunately, and… Read More »Tenderloin Appreciation Society – Oskaloosa Field Work
Last Sunday, after an emotional church service, Teresa and I went to Luther because I was having a hankering for the tenderloin there and I badly need to get started on the Tenderloin Trail 2.0. As we approached the restaurant, it was clear that is was so packed that there… Read More »Tenderloin Appreciation Society – Slater Field Work
Last Friday night, as soon as the whistle blew ending my shift in the computer mine, I took off like a shot for Indianola. I was going there to take pictures of Kyle’s last football game, but I was also going there to try a new tenderloin. The Iowa Pork… Read More »Tenderloin Appreciation Society – Indianola Field Work
Would you believe that I haven’t posted a tenderloining post since February 5… of 2020? I mean, that just flat out sucks people. I know there are much worse things that have happened due to the horribly mismanaged pandemic, but throw that log on the dumpster fire too. It isn’t… Read More »Tenderloin Appreciation Society – Working at Home
There is a diverse collection of images in the folder 2009-10-31. Some of the pictures are from when I went tenderloining with the Defeneffes to Goldie’s Ice Cream Shoppe in Prairie City. Some are from when I used to have people I actually know trick-or-treat at my house. The rest… Read More »2009-10-31
