(Clive, Iowa) – Three western Iowa establishments are finalists in the “Iowa’s Best Breaded Tenderloin” contest, sponsored by the Iowa Pork Producers Association (IPPA). They are among the top five restaurants in the contest, and include The Roadhouse in Orange City (Sioux County), Cliff’s Place in Manning (Carroll County), and Tojo’s Bar & Grill in Jamaica (Guthrie County).
The remaining finalists are:
The IPPA says to qualify, pork tenderloins must be hand-breaded or battered. A traditional tenderloin starts with a pounded-out slice of pork loin that’s dredged through flour, eggs, milk, breadcrumbs, or crushed crackers. The meat is then fried to a crispy, golden brown and served on a bun. Judging of the top 40 restaurants took place this summer. That list included the five restaurants with the most nominations in each of IPPA’s eight districts, which helps ensure statewide representation.
The winning restaurant will receive $500, a plaque, a banner to display, and statewide publicity that will drive new business. The runner-up is awarded $250 and a plaque from IPPA.”
A committee of three will visit the restaurants soon and pick the winner.
