Have you ever waited tables in Iowa? Chances are, you know just how true these 10 things are…
1. The number one request: MORE RANCH
2. You will be almost certainly asked: Is this Iowa pork?
3. And the same goes for beef.
4. What's the seasonal vegetable? Sweet corn.
5. The most popular item on almost any Iowa restaurant's dessert menu: rhubarb pie.
6. You've almost certainly had a customer say: What? You guys are closed on Sundays?! That's too bad, you would do really well with the after-church crowd...
7. From corn prices to the crazy weather, you quickly learn to become a master of small talk while waiting tables in Iowa.
8. Your customers will always ask you what kind of "pop" you have.
9. Game days are always packed - especially during the Iowa vs. Iowa State game.
10. The second most popular request: Can we get more ranch, please?!
If you ask me, though, Iowans make some of the best customers around!
