Whiskey Creek Announces Partnership with Tielke’s In Norfolk:
Beef Brisket and Pulled Pork Sandwiches Available in Stores Soon

NORFOLK, Neb.,- (December 20, 2005) Whiskey Creek Wood Fire Grill has partnered with Tielke’s Sandwiches of Norfolk to sell its famous beef brisket and pulled pork sandwiches in stores throughout Nebraska and western Iowa while continuing to maintain their popular local steakhouse.

“Whiskey Creek has become a dining tradition in Norfolk over the past several years. We are excited that, by partnering with a local business like Tielke’s, we can extend that tradition into another marketplace,” said Matt Sharp, manager of Whiskey Creek in Norfolk.

The Whiskey Creek brand of precooked, prepackaged food is already familiar to consumers who shop in stores associated with the Affiliated Foods brand, where several Whiskey Creek menu items are already sold. “The superior quality and taste you find in our restaurants carries over to our prepackaged grocery items,” said Jim Gardner, owner of Whiskey Creek Franchise Systems.

In addition to the partnership with Tielke’s, the Whiskey Creek brand continues to grow throughout the region with another restaurant franchise set to open in Hays, Kansas.

Whiskey Creek features 11 restaurants in four states including Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Florida. The brand’s unique flavor is derived from grilling over an oak and ash fire, using a proprietary blend of seasonings. Whiskey Creek was the first steakhouse chain in the nation to offer the flat iron steak, an all new cut of meat developed by the University of Nebraska and the Beef Council. Whiskey Creek also offers award winning baby back ribs along with many other wood-fire grilled menu items.

Nearly all Whiskey Creek beef is source-verified to protect consumers. Using the latest technology-based, source-verification system, Whiskey Creek is able to monitor through its meat vendor Premium Protein, the origin, health and overall welfare of stock used in its restaurant supply.
