(Des Moines) What better way to kick off #Porktober24 than with the Top 5 Best Breaded Tenderloins of 2024?! Congratulations (in no particular order) to…..
The Bronson Bar – Bronson
Dairy Sweet – Dunlap
Ruby’s Pub & Grill – Stuart
The Market at the Tap – Monticello
To qualify for the contest, hand-breaded tenderloins must be part of the regular menu at an Iowa establishment with consistent year-round hours. Food trucks, concession stands, seasonal eateries, and catering businesses are ineligible.
Following the nomination period, IPPA’s Restaurant & Foodservice Committee reviewed the top 40 restaurants, which include the five establishments with the most nominations from each of IPPA’s eight districts. These leading contenders will be evaluated by a panel of undercover judges who will visit the locations and rank the tenderloins based on pork quality, taste, physical characteristics, and overall eating experience.
The winning restaurant will receive a $500 cash prize, a plaque to display, and statewide publicity. The runner-up will be awarded $250 and a plaque from IPPA.
The first-place winner will be announced in a couple of weeks.
