Ames, IA: Grove Café
February 16, 2008

Listen to this feature (How to listen)

At the Grove Café, the word "pancake" takes on new meaning. The thick, fluffy cakes that absorb copious quantities of butter and syrup are, quite literally, pan size. Unless you're extremely hungry one is enough, although a couple of peppery sausage patties on the side wouldn't hurt; this is Iowa, after all.

The hot beef sandwich shouldn't be missed either. It's a classic: thick slices of hot roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy.

Jane loves the slogan hanging in the kitchen: "Just like home…you don't always get what you want."
