Corn
DID YOU KNOW that farming encompasses about 90% of the land in Iowa? It's true! Many of those farms have helped to make Iowa the nation's leading producer of corn and corn byproducts. Our unofficial state song is "The Corn Song," which clearly states that "that's where the tall corn grows!"
The Cheesy Corn & Ham from our list of delicious homestyle side dishes incorporates this popular Iowa vegetable. The flavor is intensified by adding cheese and ham, the latter of which happens to be the next item on our list.
Pork
The main ingredient in hog feed is corn, and since we have an abundance of that here in Iowa plus acres upon acres of farmland, it should come as no surprise that we are the country's leading producer of hogs. We are responsible for raising just about 1/4 of the nation's pigs. As a matter of fact, they outnumber the humans in Iowa nearly 4 to 1!
We have a high regard for the incredible pig here at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse because that glorious animal is the reason we are able to give you the most tender, flavorful, hickory-smoked Pulled Pork you've ever tasted! Not only is that one of our most popular menu items to order on its own (on a plate or as a sandwich,) we also use it as an important ingredient for many of our other delicious dishes. Some of these include:
The Famous Tenderloin
This traditional food is sure to be found an any good menu in Iowa. It's been a staple in our state's classic cuisine for as long as we can remember! Even though Indiana claims to be where this delicious dish was created, the very special people here in Iowa have perfected it!
The very best pork tenderloin in Des Moines can be found right here at Wobbly Boots BBQ. First, we start with a more-than-generous portion of meat. The next step is to hand-dip it in buttermilk, then bread it in our expertly seasoned flour and bread crumbs before frying it to a perfectly beautiful golden brown. It takes a huge appetite to tackle this big boy, but it tastes so good, you'll end up finishing it without any trouble. (Although you may need a doggy bag to take it home!)

More Famous Foods From Iowa
While corn and hogs are our biggest exports, this research uncovered a couple of other foods that have ties to our great state.
- Sliced Bread - Before the invention of pre-packaged sliced bread, people had to get out a knife and slice it themselves. Well, this must have seemed like a waste of time to Otto Frederick Rohwedder of Davenport, Iowa. He created the very first loaf-at-a-time bread-slicing machine that was introduced to the world in 1928. It was deemed "the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped," which eventually led to the well-known phrase, "the greatest thing since sliced bread." Thanks to this invention, we save precious time not having to slice our sandwich bread and can instead focus on creating those hickory-smoked delicacies we place on it instead.
- Ice Cream - In 1994, Le Mars, Iowa was designated as the Ice Cream Capital of the World! (Not the country, but the world!) This town is home to Wells Enterprises, Inc., makers of Blue Bunny Ice Cream, and it contains the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Parlor & Museum. If you're up for a road trip to Le Mars, you can search the city for more than 50 ice cream sculptures. Here at the Boot, we have ice cream available to top your dessert and to use in our amazing Root Beer Floats.
