The Iowa Pork Producers Association (IPPA) released its list of the top five best breaded pork tenderloins in the state, and two winners belong to the Corridor.<\/p>\n
North Liberty\u2019s Tin Roost and Williamsburg\u2019s Landmark Grill and Grind were both awarded top five spots.<\/p>\n
Previous winners of the title have reported increased customer traffic and sales of the sandwich as Iowans from across the state try to get a bite.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery restaurant on this list has earned its place, but judging a great tenderloin comes down to more than size,\u201d said Greg Carlson, a contest judge and retired pork producer, in an IPPA news release. \u201cWe look for pork that\u2019s tender and flavorful, with breading that complements it. As a former producer, it\u2019s rewarding to see restaurants put so much care into a sandwich Iowans love.\u201d<\/p>\n
Participants in the contest must serve the sandwich on a regular basis, have regular hours, and be open year-round. Other establishments such as food trucks or catering services are not allowed to participate. Judges evaluate eligible restaurants and a final penal will determine a winner and runner-up. Last year, Grinnell\u2019s Hometown Heroes won the first place title.<\/p>\n
The contest continues until the IPPA crowns a champion later this month, nicknamed \u201cPorktober\u201d for its designation as National Pork Month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
