Just when you thought you had every T-shirt you ever needed.

RE: Iowa Tenderloin Trail
I've been to a few of those. #7 is my favorite. If you go to #2, go hungry and order the "Pork Tenderloin Royal", and maybe bring a couple friends to help you eat it. In Elk Horn #12 is supposed to the be the gold standard of Iowa Pork Tenderloins, but the half dozen times I have stopped there they were not open (the owner's apparently just open when they want to - they are old). Darrell's Place in Hamlin, IA and the Red Barn in Exira's Cheese Hog and Heifer are also very good. The Red Barn isn't s pretty place, but there is a certain level of anticipation after a lady with the thick German accent takes your order and goes to back, and the next thing you hear is someone hammering away on a piece of pork.

Look at top 5 finishers the last few years - https://www.iowapork.org/wp-content/uplo...s-List.pdf

There were a lot of good places along the Mississippi River too. Some of the ethnic Bohemian and Belgium bars in Davenport and Moline are pretty good too.

One of the ADVrider guys has asked them to make stickers as well as T-shirts. She said they would work on it. One is only and hour or so from the Bonzai so I think we will begin the quest.

Last night a group of us rode a round about loop over to to Dunlap. The owner of the Dairy Sweet asked us to vote for the Dairy Sweet on the 10Best website for the best Iowa Tenderloin - https://www.10best.com/awards/travel/bes...n-in-iowa/

Picked up 2 more this weekend. So far Dairy Sweet is still my favorite, but Breitbach's is a close second. Big Jim and Original Randy liked Belmond best.

#14 Belmond Drive-In Tenderloin. The owner asked if her's was best, I had to tell her the truth... it was good, but I liked somone's better.

#5 Breitbach's Tenderloin, Balltown, IA. Waitress said they pound these out with their fists with plastic gloves on, no hammers or pounding machine used.
