Black Market Pizza Ames Featured on the Travel Channel program “Man vs. Food,” Black Market

specializes in converting open-face sandwiches to Chicago-style deep-dish

pizza. Look for a Reuben, bacon cheeseburger or the Iowegian that includes

sausage, bacon, ham, and an Iowa Chop served with a cornbread or a sweet

potato crust. Close to the Iowa State University campus, there’s nothing quite

like Black Market for a pizza twist on the traditional sandwich.

2 Ox Yoke Inn Amana Located in a National Historic Landmark home built in 1856, the Ox Yoke

Inn features family-style dining. Its honey apple pork was featured on a

special “Pork Paradise” segment of the Travel Channel’s “Food Paradise”

series. The Ox Yoke’s entrées come from old-world German and American

recipes passed down from four generations of the Leichsenring family, the

Inn’s owners. The hearty meals feature freshly prepared salads, vegetables,

potatoes and bread.

3 Maid-Rite 70 locations Founded in Muscatine in 1926, Maid-Rite was among America’s first fast-

food restaurants and the first chain to offer a drive-through window. The

chain earned a spot on the Travel Channel’s “Bizarre Foods” series for its

unique loose meat sandwich – a generous helping of ground beef sprinkled

with a secret seasoning and served on a steamed bun.

4 Lincoln Café Mount Vernon Matt Steigerwald, the café’s owner and head chef, shakes up his menu

almost every week, offering customers dishes produced with the freshest

locally grown foods and ingredients. That may be why the Lincoln Café

earned a segment on the Travel Channel’s “Bizarre Foods America.” During

the segment, Steigerwald served host Andrew Zimmern mint purée and

roasted heritage pork brains.

5 Jethro’s BBQ Des Moines A chain of four restaurants in the Des Moines area, Jethro’s has been featured

on the Travel Channel’s “United States of Bacon,” “Food Paradise” and “Man

vs. Food.” All for one sandwich: the Adam Emmenecker, named for the most

valuable player of the 2008 Drake University men’s basketball team. This

behemoth includes a pork tenderloin, an angus steak burger, slabs of Texas

brisket, apple wood bacon and fried cheese, finished with buffalo chicken

tenders. The entire sandwich is smothered with melted cheddar cheese and

white cheddar sauce and served with a pound of waffle fries.
