So let's start!

1. Jethro's 'n Jake's Smokehouse Steaks

Location: 2601 Adventureland Dr Altoona, Iowa

Call +1 515-957-9727

Jethro's was an instant success and gained national fame. People from both the East and West Coast soon heard about Jethro's BBQ. Bruce thought for a little bit more and went down to the Iowa Secretary of State's office and incorporated Jethro's BBQ, Inc. Jethro was now, officially an Iowa corporation, and that is a good thing.

Within a month or so, President Obama called Jethro and asked him to cater a backyard BBQ for some of his close friends here in Des Moines. Jethro opened up his kitchens and shared his secret recipes to the Secret Service as they inspected and tasted the food to make sure that it was delicious and poison free. Everyone had a great time at the party, and Jethro was proud as he watched the helicopters flying overhead and the ninja dressed snipers hiding in the trees, as they made sure everyone behaved themselves, while the guest munched on the food, at The President's Backyard BBQ.
