Hey Iowan.....
you ever been to the Pizza Ranch?
https://splinternews.com/one-nation-und ... 1833372832
Founded in Hull, IA, in 1981, this chain of Wild West-themed pizza buffet restaurants has spread across the entire Midwest, and is now as ubiquitous in Iowa as Cracker Barrel is down south. Pizza Ranch’s stated corporate vision is “To glorify God by positively impacting the world,” and one of its cofounders, Lawrence Vander Esch—who was also chairman of his county’s Republican Party—spent four years in prison after being arrested in 2001 for multiple counts of sexual abuse. The Sioux City Journal reports that “Vander Esch admitted to coercing teenage male employees of the Pizza Ranch in Hull to donate semen samples for a University of Iowa medical research project. After helping collect the samples, Vander Esch would later tell the boys that their sperm counts were not high enough to be paid for the samples. According to court documents, no samples were ever submitted for medical research.”

Re: Hey Iowan.....
You don’t go to Pizza Ranch for the pizza. They have the best fried chicken I’ve ever eaten.
This doesn’t surprise me at all. Just another day in Steve King country.
We used to roll in there hungover as all hell in college just to bathe them in our stench of sin.

Pretty good article. Author gets it.whatwouldcooleydo? wrote:Iowa’s love affair with gas station pizza, explained
Casey’s isn’t my favorite pizza, but it is really good, and it’s ubiquitous. In a situation where you need to quickly please a crowd, it’s perfect.
I’ve switched to their deli sandwiches over Subway years ago.
