        Jethro's Biggest
        • The World Famous Adam Emmenecker
          (As seen on Man Vs. Food) Take the challenge today! The Missouri Valley Conference's "Most Valuable Player of 2008" loves this sandwich. It's big "really big" just like all of those "really big" shots Adam sank in the Bulldog's magical MVC Championship Season of 2008. Start with our huge pork tenderloin, add two Angus steak burgers, top it with slabs of Texas brisket, apple wood bacon, fried cheese and finished with buffalo chicken tenders. Smother this mountain with melted cheddar cheese and white cheddar sauce, with your choice of side. This could hurt you! A sandwich fit for the MVP. Remember your "Emmenecker Challenge" experience with a custom T-Shirt. All "Emmenecker Challenge" attempts must be made with waffle fries.
          $24.95
        • The Jethro
          Chosen as Food Network 's Favorite Bacon Bite and featured on Discovery Channel 's United States of Bacon. This isn't for everyone. It is porktastic. It is ginormous. We start with our famous tenderloin and add Carolina style pulled pork, house smoked pit ham and a double order of thick slab bacon. Choose your side and then go for it, but remember, we warned you.
          $16.95

        Amazing Service and the Best Food Ever

        The food was absolutely delicious. You must get the Emmenecker sandwich just so you can try all the food they offer. This sandwich is big enough for two or just as good the next day as leftovers.The jalapeno corn is so delicious as well as the corn bread muffins, mac and cheese, and the best appetizer ever... hunks of fried cheese!The waitress was awesome. You could tell she liked her job. She was very helpful and helped guide us on how to get the most for our money. Now to get them to open a location in the Quad Cities....
