A restaurant in Fairfield beat out nine other establishments, including one in Creston and another in Clarinda, in capturing the title of “Iowa’s Best Burger.” The Iowa Beef Industry Council and Iowa Cattlemen’s Association, Monday, announced the winner of the contest as The Cider House, in Fairfield. The restaurant use all locally raised beef in creating their nearly 6.5-ounce burger patties. They use all the meat cuts from the cattle in a grind for their hamburger, whereas other establishments may use chuck, rib, sirloin and round cuts from the beef animal.
The Cider House staff are (from left) Hopi James, Skylar Messer, Annalisa Thompson, Cole Fishback, and Clint Stephenson.
This year, Iowans submitted more than 4,000 votes nominating 286 restaurants in February and March. Those votes were used to select the Top Ten restaurants. The Top Ten were then independently visited and judged based on the hamburger’s taste, appearance, and proper serving temperature (160 degrees).
The judges found the beefy flavor at The Cider House to be the best. In fact, its hamburger is so good that it inspired one of the owners who was formerly a vegetarian to give meat another try. The Cider House exclusively features the beef from Adrian Family Farms. The cattle are raised like so many others in Iowa: pasture-grazed and corn-finished, and cared for with compassion and treated humanely.
Other restaurants that made the Top Ten with The Cider House are (alphabetically): Ankeny Diner, Ankeny; Big City Burgers & Greens, Des Moines; Down Right Delicious, Clarinda; Elm’s Club, Creston; First Street Grille, Keosauqua; Rides Bar & Grill, Fort Dodge; Saucy Focaccia, Cedar Rapids; The Ritz, Arnold’s Park; and Zombie Burger, Des Moines.
Previous winners in the contest are: 2014 – Brick City Grill, Ames; 2013—61 Chop House Grille in Mediapolis; 2012—Coon Bowl III in Coon Rapids; 2011—Rusty Duck in Dexter; and 2010—Sac County Cattle Company of Sac City.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – A 22-year-old Sioux City man is accused of slamming his live-in girlfriend’s 3-year-old son into the corner of a piece of furniture. Online court records say Markus Leon is charged with child endangerment causing serious injury and is being held in Woodbury County Jail.
Authorities say Leon was baby-sitting the boy and a 1-year-old child on April 22 and became angry when the boy’s noise kept waking up Leon, who was trying to sleep. Leon told officers that he lost his temper and slammed the boy into the furniture. The child later was diagnosed with a lacerated liver, a bruised spleen and a bruised kidney.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – A Sioux City teenager has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for a failed robbery. The Sioux City Journal reports the 17-year-old pleaded guilty in March to assault while participating in a felony and second-degree burglary. He must serve a mandatory minimum of five years in prison before he’s eligible for parole.
According to court documents, the 17-year-old and two others entered a Sioux City house. The documents say one of the suspects brandished a gun to try and steal drugs from a drug dealer, but was overpowered by the home’s occupants and held until police arrived. The 17-year-old and another other suspect fled and were arrested later. The two other people involved, both of Sioux City, were sentenced to 10 years in prison each.
