I thought it was Jerry as well, I'm pretty sure he had a shoot that weekend too.

We are hoping to put one on this fall at Daryl's guns.

No, closed down. But the St Olaf Tavern still has Tenderloins. And the White Springs in McGregor is back up and serving. Food is as good as it ever was.
St Olaf Tavern

a local favorite and classic

Jerry's place is about 10 minutes north of where I work. My lunch hour would be expensive(and long) if I caught him on the right day. If it's not an organized shoot, plan on good conversation lasting a whole lot longer than you shoot!

Me too. Good meal with real beef for about a dollar more than McDonald's.
