It’s been online for a week, but the Des Moines Register ran a feature on “Best Pork Tenderloins” in Tuesday’s paper. The tenderloin at 1901 Chop Haus in Traer (in the building that once housed Axon’s/Third Base/Joker’s) got second place in the Iowa Pork Producers’ contest.
That wasn’t the only mention of Traer in Tuesday’s paper: 2003 North Tama graduate Wade Posusta was interviewed for a 1A story on the deep political divisions in the state.
