IOWA PORK PRODUCERS NAMES WINNER OF ITS BEST BREADED TENDERLOIN CONTEST
Source: Iowa Pork Producers Association news release

The Iowa Pork Producers Association Restaurant & Foodservice Committee has announced the winner of IPPA's Best Breaded Pork Tenderloin Contest for 2010.

Buck Bos, owner of Buck's Bar & Grill in Mitchellville, will receive a check for $500, a plaque and statewide publicity.

Bos buys the loin for his winning sandwich from Fareway and hammers out the loin by hand at the restaurant to the desired thickness. The restaurant serves from 175-225 breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches every two weeks. Buck's Bar & Grill opened in 2007 and serves a variety of pork entrees on its year-round menu.

Happy's Place in Dubuque placed second and will receive a plaque and $250 from IPPA. CJ's in Aspinwall, Boonie's in Earlville and The Gasthaus in Cherokee received honorable mention awards and each will receive a plaque.

William Chedester from Malcolm, Iowa, nominated Buck's Bar & Grill and will receive $100.

A total of 310 nominations were submitted for this year's contest and 46 received the required three or more nominations to became finalists. Judging by committee members was completed last month. The committee judges the pork tenderloin sandwiches on taste, physical characteristics and appearance.

All restaurants, cafes and taverns that serve breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches can be nominated for the award each year. Previous contest winners also are eligible, but are prohibited from winning two consecutive years.

Buck's is open Tuesday-Thursday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m.; and Sunday from Noon until 9 p.m. You can find them on Facebook at their fan page "Buck's Bar & Grill."
