Taco Jerry's is still open? I did a few of their radio ads early on, when I worked for the local radio station. They were good advertisers. Ended up going there quite a bit. You're right, their tacos are amazing.

[QUOTE=baller21;3229143]I found a hidden gem inside a whopper once. Actually it was just a shiny pen cap. Does that count?

Located E. Coli in a hamburger at Jack in the Box, Saratoga Springs, NY. Does that count?

As far as I know it is. FC is my hometown, but I haven't been back since May. I feel like I would have heard about it if it had closed. I couldn't tell you how many tacos I have eaten in that place

Yea.. As dc said mineral city. I had eaten there a few time as well. It was good. I know it's just bar food but I kinda like the food at captains.. We usually get all the oyster plates they have.

Yes, the Taco Jerry's is still open...I live in Lake Mills and it is on the East side of 69/9!

Also, there is a place in Emmetsburg called New Shoots Cafe Bakery & Farmstore that is just Fabulous. Had a meeting in E'burg last July and was very impressed. The first part of the the place is the Farmstore which is basically a farmer's market and the other side is the cafe. Loved the food and atmosphere and would recommend it to anybody who wants to just sit and relax.
