Trying Cecil's Cafe

Before leaving Marshalltown, Linda and I thought we should try a place mentioned on the RoadFood web site, Cecil's Cafe. A number of items mentioned on the site had been on the list of 100 Foods; RoadFood recommended the tenderloin and omlette so we figured we'd give them a shot. It's not really the kind of place I felt comfortable taking a photo of the food so you'll have to take my word.

Linda said the tenderloin was good but not better than most we've had. The ham and cheese omlette, on the other hand, was noteworthy. The ham wasn't the little cubes you commonly find amongst the folded egg; this ham was nickel sized, thick sliced, and coated with that carmelized layer that forms when it's slowly fried in a pan. It was GREAT! We'll be back.
