Iowa 80 Kitchen to be Featured on Travel Channel Show

Iowa 80 Kitchen, the full-service restaurant inside the Iowa 80 TA Truckstop in Walcott, Iowa, will be featured on the Travel Channel's show Food Paradise next spring.

The episode will feature great food at truckstops. Filming at the Iowa 80 took place on Aug. 20. The film crew spoke with customers about their favorite Iowa 80 dishes as well as why they keep coming back.

"Drivers appreciate the home-cooked meals they can order from our menu," says Bill Peel, Iowa 80 Kitchen operator. :They also enjoy the buffet and the wide variety of salads we offer."

The Peel Family has been running the Iowa 80 Kitchen restaurant since partnering with the Moon Family, who own and operate the truckstop, in 1964.

The episode will air on the Travel Channel in the spring, likely March.
