“When J.P. Howard sits down to a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup he thinks about his Aunt Liz.
“She always made the best soups,” he said. “This is nature’s elixir for what ails you.”
Growing up in Cresco, in northeast Iowa, Howard was accustomed to locally grown foods, in part thanks to his aunt who created meals with ingredients from her own gardens and livestock.
Now Howard and his wife, Jennifer, are serving up locally produced food at their trio of restaurants on Main Street.
The Howards have been featuring seasonal local dishes on their white-cloth menu at the Tremont on Main, while incorporating other local ingredients and dishes at the Tremont Grille and Tremont Sports Cafe.
The regularly featured chicken noodle soup is made with the freshest and the highest quality local chicken purchased from a Mexican market in Marshalltown, Howard said.”
