    "Iowa won't let the restaurant season the food", that's a load of BS.

    I probably will, but I like to support brick & mortars when I can. I just don't want to support incompetence...

    But in the near term I'm buying more Berkshire Hathaway stock instead so maybe I should thank iowa80 for saving me some money (even if the result is a literal pain in my ###)

    Go on in there and order the famous award winning pork chop sandwich that has no salt or pepper cooked into it.
    Or order eggs over easy in Iowa and they come out with no salt or pepper on them.
    Bland..

    Should someone move the salt and pepper shaker a little closer to your hand?
    Iowa State Troopers do not do D.O.T. inspections.

    The food is horrible in the restaurant. It's nothing but a bunch of parking spaces and nasty truck stop fare with fast food and a bunch of overpriced nick nacks.
     
    LGarrison, FLATBED and TruckDuo Thank this.

    It is impossible to argue with that as far as I'm concerned.
    I DO like the Checkered Flag across the street though. $4.00 for an ice cold 24 ounce mug of Shiner Boch.

    I've yet to have food prepared with salt and pepper cooked into it, in Iowa. Or Nebraska.
    Salt shakers on a table are for grapefruit and corn on the cob.
    I was told they weren't allowed, who knows??
    But the beer is good,
