The Story of JETHRO'S 'n JAMBALAYA

Jethro grew up deep in the hills of Southern California in a little town called Beverly Hills. Jethro lived a good life there with his extended family as he swam and fished everyday in the Los Angeles River, and hunted in the palm tree forest with his bulldog named Jake. Jethro found it difficult to live off the land there in Beverly, as he never caught any fish and only found an occasional raccoon or possum in his gun sights. Jake on the other hand was fed up with poodles. So Jethro and Jake packed up and headed for the Midwest, where the creeks are full of catfish, and the hickory 'n oak forest are full of wild boars.

Jethro and Jake walked East during the winter of 2007. They didn't know where they were going, but as they walked, they began hearing more and more buzz about the Land of the Bulldog in a place called

Iowa. The word was spreading throughout the nation of a new energy, a new spirit, a new "Bulldog Attitude" in a city called Des Moines. Finally, in the spring of 2008 Jethro and Jake walked onto the Drake campus. On the first day, with the money his Uncle had given him, Jethro bought a 750 pound wood fired smoker. On the 2nd day, Jethro chopped down a hickory and oak tree. On the 3rd day, Jethro fired up his incredible smoker and opened the doors to his new restaurant at 3100 Forest Avenue in Des Moines in April of 2008. Jethro cooked and worked hard. The people of Iowa grew to love him and his food.

Jethro thought for a day or two and decided that "bigger is better" and "highest is best". So with the money he saved from his restaurant, he bought a 1,400 pound wood fired smoker, hollered for Jake and headed East, up a hill, to the highest spot in Iowa. There he found a city called Altoona, where horses run fast, roller coasters scream by, teams of Rams play in the grass and the biggest store he ever did see, had his favorite fishing pole. Jethro 'n Jake's Smokehouse Steaks opened in September 2010.

On another day, Jethro's Cajun cousin Jasper Bodine blew into Waukee on the winds of a hurricane from the bayous of Louisanna. Jasper carried a pouch with the family secret recipes from his Creole homeland. Jethro was so excited to see Jasper that he bought two 750 pound wood fired smokers. Jasper unpacked his pots and pans. Together they opened the doors to Jethro's 'n Jambalaya in the fastest growing city in all of Iowa.

Jethro, Jake and Jasper have found a new home! They are proud as a peacock to welcome you to "Your Waukee Neighborhood Sports Bar." Jethro promises that he will serve you large quantities of his "Amazing Slow Smoked Meats and his homemade Cajun Creole Creations". Jethro, Jake and Jasper are hooping and hollering, excited to be a part of the friendly city of Waukee in the land of the Warriors.
