Taste of America: The Bobbie, Pork Tenderloin and Schnitzel

Today, we continue our gastronomic journey across America with these tasty selections from Gozaic partners in Wilmington, Delaware; Hamilton County, Indiana; and Castroville, Texas.

Wilmington, Delaware
Delaware’s signature sandwich is the mouth-watering Bobbie®, which originated at Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop, a Wilmington institution. The Bobbie features a combination of fresh-roasted pulled turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing and mayonnaise served on a 9-, 12- or 20-inch hoagie roll. While it can now be enjoyed in 10 states, the Bobbie will always be a true Delaware delight!

Hamilton County, Indiana
Chow down in ChowTown, Hamilton County’s tastiest town. Check out the Tenderloin Trail, a listing of 20 restaurants offering pork tenderloin, an Indiana tradition. Fried, grilled or served without a bun – this Hoosier delight is sure to satisfy.

Nickel Plate Bar & Grill in Fishers: Located in old town Fishers, next to the former Nickel Plate Railroad, this restaurant’s menu has something for everyone. Do not miss the pork tenderloin sandwich, named Indiana’s best by Indy Men’s Magazine.

Woody’s Library Restaurant in Carmel: Located in Carmel's Arts & Design District, Woody’s is housed in a renovated Carnegie Library that was originally built in 1913. The varied menu offers everything from appetizers and comfort foods to upscale dinner selections and of course, the breaded tenderloin.

Castroville, Texas
Castroville, Texas, is known as the “Little Alsace of Texas” because of its ties to the Alsace Region of France. The city’s Alsatian heritage and history include delicious traditional foods found at several restaurants in the area including:

The Alsatian Restaurant: Alsatian specialties, such as schnitzel, the popular Alsatian sausage and jagerschnitzel are on the menu at this fine-dining Alsatian restaurant.

The Old Alsatian Steakhouse & Ristorante: Located in one of the oldest structures in Castroville, this historic house was built around 1853 by one of the founding families of the Castro Colony. The restaurant features a wide variety of Alsatian and Italian fare, including nouilles Alsacienne, Alsatian quiche and the popular Alsatian sausage.
