This place looks amazing. So cozy. The snow in the beginning is perfect. I'd love to be at this place for a nice long family dinner on a cold snowy night around Christmas time just enjoying some great mom and pop style American food.
Classic down-home Midwestern fare. I haven't seen spaetzel on a menu in forever! Well done. Hope you find more hidden gems like this in your journey across the USA!
I had a job in this area for a few years and I used to drive by this place periodically. Never stopped...maybe I should have. Those are some good looking Iowa ribeye there.
Good tip if you want to keep your skin looking young and supple? Eat plenty of pork because of all the meats it has the highest natural collagen levels. Which keeps the wrinkles away and the skin looking healthy, plump & well nourished🙂👍🏼
7:38 is so typical of a diner like this. Food's ready, shelf's getting full, meanwhile servers are chatting with each other and texting and everything's piling up.
I have eaten at this place on many occasions, it's near my home town in eastern Iowa. The place is hands down the absolute best. Always delicious and service is perfect.
OH, you will get tired of eating the same food everyday,besides frquent consumption of these foods is very unhealthy. You know im not lying,Americans are one of the fattest,obese people in the World bec of these foods. 40 % of Americans are obese,imgaine 120M individuals are fat, many are morbidly obese.
You think you're better than them? Take your fancy, liberal salt and pepper and go back to NYC. Just kidding, that was tough to watch, and probably digest. 😁
If you want a true pork tenderloin sandwich you need to come to IN. That is just a fried porkchop sandwich. Also did anyone else miss the zero seasoning on the fries?
Excuse me, Iowa is the undisputed tenderloin champ and tenderloin sandwich creator! Never seen this cook top version tho. Iowa has a yearly state contest to determine the best loin in the state. Its always fun trying out the years winner! Some sandwiches are 12" in diameter.
I’ve eaten hundreds of tenderloins in Iowa but never seen them made like this. (This place was a bit… unique… on several points.) Usually they are pounded flat & deep fried. But Indiana folks thinking they have the “true” pork tenderloin? Please.
Are you guys serious? That's the most bizarre thing i've saw in YT for months! Absolutely raw pork meat with a (juice? sauce? water? wth is that?), blackened french fries, burguer stacked in a way that he definitely hates his client , pasta with CRACKER?????? Omg this place should close ASAP
You will know when your food is done right,when it’s done the old school way,by good people who work and understand who the food is cooked .with love understanding heart flavor and fresh ingredients, and a great team.
So what. There's a little bit of any person who cooks for you in the food. Human beings shed, and secrete all kinds of body matter all of the time. As long as they aren't hocking a loogey into the food it's totally fine.
🍔🥩🍖 Iowa's Kalmes Restaurant is a carnivore's paradise! From pork tenderloin sandwiches to ham and ribeye steaks, there's something for every meat lover to enjoy. 😋👌 #Iowafood

Exactly reminds me of my very first job! Cook in an all night diner. Nothing fancy, just good homestyle food. Oh the stories!
Do tell 😉

Comfort food from the Heartland of America 👍👍
This is great that you are drawing some attention to these great food places in rural America!
Theres nothing more good than home cooked american food..
It does Not look good to me at all🤔
Nothing fancy. Nothing complicated. Just simple food thats delicious.
Wow,Travel Thirsty has really gone to the back country of America for this one! Nice!
This is awesome, I love the United States they have so many excellent restaurants like this one in Iowa of all places!
The contrast of kitchens from all around the globe is fascinating!
Similarities, too!
👏 Received the notification for the first time 😄 I like American food, from a Chinese food blogger 💗
I’m American and ❤️Chinese food!!!
Come on over and visit us sometime, friend!
Classic down-home Midwestern fare. I haven't seen spaetzel on a menu in forever! Well done. Hope you find more hidden gems like this in your journey across the USA!
I was wondering what that noodle dish was!
Eu nunca comi esta comida, mas deve ser muito boa. Abraços do Brasil.
That's not spaetzel! It's fried noodles with broken up crackers and it is very good!!!
Dies sind definitiv keine Spätzle 😢
I love local diners. There is something special about the people and the food that set them apart.

Good idea! I like pork chops & pork tenderloins.
That place is on highway 52 South of Dubuque Iowa and north of bellevue Iowa. It’s fantastic
Other than the seasoning on the pork tenderloins in the beginning, I didn't see anything on any other items. Odd.
Proud to call Iowa home, hope you find the other 5000 mom and pop shops in the state!
That's some rough but honest food.
7:38 is so typical of a diner like this. Food's ready, shelf's getting full, meanwhile servers are chatting with each other and texting and everything's piling up.
I thought the same thing when I saw all that food sitting. Where are the servers

What is the name of this place?

Guess you’ve never traveled outside your county?
Fucking gross dude!
I LOVE OLD SCHOOL AMERICA 🇺🇸 1950'S .... 1960'S ..... 1970'S ... Iowa beautiful ❤️ food
I swear if this restaurant was near me I would be there every day no more cooking at home
I don't know how you like the flesh of this creature. It eats what it excretes, and its flesh contains many microscopic organisms
Pig 🐷 is delicious 😋😋, we don't care about your religion.
Me too buddy

beautiful, gorgeous Iowa BEEF!!! I am so blessed to live here.
The beef looked good! Rest of it was a bit careless, needlessly I think.
That german spaetzle looks amazing, just like grandma used to make. Goes great with pork, like a good weiner schnitzel.
北米も寒いのだろうけど、料理は熱いですね‼️
Used to stop here for lunch when working near St. Donatus. Great little place.
Todo se ve muy delicioso!!!
Not a single vegetable was harmed in the making of this video. :)
So simple and so delicious!

Nothing like good old American diner food. 👍
As if this is so easy for following cook procedures. Great works ! thanks for share
Good sharing

Olá boa tarde meu amigo parabéns pelo trabalho tooop vivo com fome 😋😋😋😋parabéns
they should have changed the fry grease, it was dark and looked burned
I would love to visit this place just for the spatzel!
This reminds me a lot of my hometown. Nothing but friendly people in a cozy place.
毛唐風情の豚餌など有難がる精神が理解できん
Wow..this is called cooking something through a sincere heart ... look at the way they cook .. very beautiful and attractive ..
I had to subscribe. The last 3 videos were in my neck of the woods. I look forward to the next vid
wow ..스테이크가 맛있어 보인다 ...
I sure miss good Iowa food!!
The land of no seasoning
I've never had fresh made Pasta. I bet it's magnificent.
Uff se ve delicioso !!
Them 3 ribeyes was rare af! 😳🥩🥩🥩 and no seasoning either 😫
Only thing that got me was steaks on a flat top (assumed it was all they had) then ham steak on a grill !?!?
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
You think you're better than them? Take your fancy, liberal salt and pepper and go back to NYC. Just kidding, that was tough to watch, and probably digest. 😁
This looks like a amazing food for sure. Love the presentation. Nice job👍 thanks for sharing ❤stay connected😍
what are you talking about ...there's literally no presentation at all ! the food is carelessly thrown onto a plate.
Looks fantastic. I bet the prices are more than fair too.
If you want a true pork tenderloin sandwich you need to come to IN. That is just a fried porkchop sandwich. Also did anyone else miss the zero seasoning on the fries?
Amen. The pork tenderloin was perfected in the Hoosier state!

Zero seasoning on anything. Also, Edwards in Indy has the best tenderloin.

they can't cook, so everything that was fried looks delicious. very low standards...
Super nice! Really into this! Looking forward to our next adventure together!
Yummy
Looks delicious!

soo basically not like in this video .... there literally no care , no love and heart in any of this "food".
@@lyndonheard2319 ok
Simple and delicious👌👌
Steak daging... mantap
I mean, i'm not exactly sure i'd call this "American Food." But i'd call it "any small town that just wants to eat" food.
Iowa is the number one pork producing state in the United States. So you know that pork is fresh!
I watch Food videos while eatig Food, its SO therapeutic
Me too. lol!
yummy greasy diner food
Amazing
grandpa was murdering those noodles
Olá bom dia parabéns pelo trabalho meu grande like juntos amém
Tenderloins are delicious !
I love the guy who's whistling while he puts the fries on the plate when you whistle spit comes flying out of your mouth
Will you be my friend

Yes if you like thrown together sandwiches with no thought on detail or presentation whatsoever🙈
Gotdamn, THAT’S a “greasy spoon”! But don’t the food look deee-licious!!!
No seasoning..over cooked, under cooked...general lack of care for distribution..hard pass
I know the calories are scary but delicious😋
Awesome
Damn it I just had supper and now I'm hungry again!!! I really wish that they weren't a 12 hour drive from me!!!
