Iowa's Maid Rite sandwiches

Are there any Iowans out there?

I'll be in northwest Iowa for a wedding.  Along the way, I want to stop for a Maid Rite sandwich.  I've been fascinated by it ever since I saw it on the mouth watering PBS documentary Sandwiches That You Will Like (skip to 15:22):

If you know of any worthwhile sites between Omaha airport and Sioux Center (not Sioux City), Iowa, please let me know.  Thanks.

  1. The name of that documentary is just fantastic.

  2. @Alan: IIRC, there were a few Chicago places mentioned on the show. Or maybe I'm confusing it with a documentary on hot dog joints.

  3. Maxilane,

    There are many sandwiches you would like from Chicago. Our Italian Beef is a thing of beauty, Al's being my favorite purveyor. When it comes to Hot Dogs, all you need is Hot Dougs - dude makes his own exotic combinations of sausages and was proclaimed one of the greatest restaurants in the world by Gourmet - check out the menu or look for a youtube clip of Bourdain paying a visit.

    Ever been to my hometown?
