Des Moines’ Juice Magazine is conducting a “Sandwich smackdown” to determine the best of 16 different sandwiches. Our Dad’s Killer Sandwich was chosen as one of the 16. Here’s a portion of Joe Lawler’s review of our Dad’s Killer Sandwich

Dad’s Killer Sandwich
Sometimes when a sandwich is big, it gets a clever name to tip off/scare away potential diners. “Monster burger,” “big boy,” stuff like that. And sometimes a sandwich name seems like more of challenge, or a warning. Sort of a culinary “Abandon all hope ye who enter here.”
Like Dad’s Killer Sandwich at B&B. Is the name letting us know that it’s a great sandwich, or that dads should update their life insurance policy? Thankfully, the thing most likely to be wiped out is your appetite. Dad’s Killer Sandwich is a massive hoagie filled with roast beef, turkey, smoked ham and corned beef. Oh, and pepper cheese, sweet cheese and American cheese. Plus lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, mustard, Miracle Whip and Tuscan Italian dressing.

Cindy sent us a picture of the Mother’s Day Pork Crown Roast that her family enjoyed. It looks delicious! We wish we could take all the credit, but the chef deserves credit. Happy Mother’s Day, Cindy!
Joe and John enjoy playing a round of frisbee golf. In fact, they have played every Sunday for 44 weeks in a row. Today was the 44th week in a row!
Nick is trying to figure out the answer to the age old question…How can you get some Killer Breaded Pork Tenderloin and bun in the first bite? We are positive scientists are trying to figure out the same thing!
Saveur Magazine wrote about “The Greatest Pork Sandwich in America” where they highlighted various breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches in Des Moines. Our Killer Breaded Pork Tenderloin was mentioned in the article. In fact, the article included a couple pictures from B&B. One of our Killer Reuben Sandwiches was added to the pictures shown in the article. (pictured top left corner)
Plus, the article even mentions some of Des Moines finest!
“At B&B Grocery, a few miles away, we ate insanely wide tenderloins alongside lunching local police officers who took great delight in demonstrating how to fold the meat over once or even twice inside the bun to make it easier to handle.” – Saveur Magazine

Keeping Iowans on Top of the Food Chain!
John jr, a 3rd generation butcher, has been busy cutting Porterhouse Steaks. It seems a lot of hungry people want to grill out this weekend.
Roadfood.com highlights “great regional meals along highways, in small towns and in city neighborhoods”. Today, they listed our Killer Tenderloins as the “Roadfood of the Day”!
Recently CareerCast created a list of “The 10 Worst Jobs in the United States” and we discovered butchers were ranked #9. Not only were butchers ranked #9, John jr was pictured in the list. CareerCast used “fewer employment opportunities, high stress and poor work conditions” as some of the characteristics of the worst jobs in the United States.
10 Worst US Jobs according to CareerCast:
- Lumberjack
- Dairy Farmer
- Enlisted Military Soldier
- Oil Rig Worker
- Newspaper Reporter
- Waiter/Waitress
- Meter Reader
- Dishwasher
- Butcher
- Broadcaster
10 Jobs the US Needs
We looked at the list and quickly realized the United States would be a scary place without any of these jobs. Just losing the military alone can lead to Americans losing their freedoms. But, add to it the loss of the dairy farmer and the butcher (even the wait staff and dishwasher) and now Americans are finding it more difficult to eat. Take away the oil rig worker and the meter reader and we have no power to light our homes or fuel for our vehicles. Lumberjacks disappear and now our homes, furniture, and more dissappear. How many of us would go insane if we didn’t have the information provided by broadcasters and newspaper reporters?
Scary thought, isn’t it?
The Brooks family butchers have been serving the Des Moines Community for 90 years and will continue keeping Iowans on top of the food chain. In fact, we’re honored to be on a list with enlisted military soldiers, lumberjacks, diary farmers, etc!
