Iowa's Legendary Steak Seasoning & Tenderizer Combo — Restaurant Flavor

Since the 1850s, when Peter Kalmes opened his bar in St. Donatus, Iowa, our family has been perfecting bold, honest flavor. Five generations later, our family restaurant and catering (est. 1980s) proudly carries on that tradition — the same 2-in-1 tenderizer + breading trusted by Midwest butchers, restaurants, and families.
