Have you ever wanted to eat a pork chop, wrapped in a paper towel, while standing on a farm somewhere in rural Iowa? Of course you do, and this year marks the 43rd year you can get an Iowa chop, grilled onsite, from the Mr Pork Chop stand during RAGBRAI! Aaron Bernhard is the third generation to take on the Mr Pork Chop business that started in 1983 when his Grandpa saw an opportunity that clearly has been a success. Aaron chats with Murph about the business, how they grill all those chops and what’s planned for RAGBRAI 53.
