Iowa is filled with small farming towns, but most have seen better days like Greeley IA. Marion is still an active town with an historic downtown. We drove over to Marion, where my cousin Jack grew up and had lunch at the famous Maid-Rite Cafe. Maid-Rite sandwiches are similar to sloppy joes except there are made without the red sauce. Its just ground beef, pickles and seasoning and served with onion rings. The cafe has been in business and serving Maid-Rites since 1926.
Wednesday evening Jack fired up the barbque and cooked stuffed Iowa pork chops. There are pork chops, then there are Iowa pork chops. Yvonne and I will stock the freezer before we leave Iowa.
