The 12 Days of Iowa BPTs, Day 4

Depending on whom you ask, Audubon locals definitely have their BPT allegiance: either Uptown Cafe or Chatterbox Cafe. While Uptown’s version is clearly bigger, size matters not, for Chatterbox’s take is thicker and juicier with a secret weapon: a toasted bun. This gives each bite an added crunch to augment the pork’s golden breading. Chatterbox also offers homemade pies for dessert to seal the deal. The Iowa Pork Producers Association may be waiting for the fervor to die down before naming another winner from Audubon County (Darrell’s Place in Hamlin won in 2004), because Chatterbox’s sandwich surely has a blue ribbon in its future. Chatterbox is located at 120 North Division Street (Route 71) in Audubon.
