Farm-to-table
Jordandal Cookhouse, 600 W. Verona Ave., Verona
The meatloaf here is made from Jordandal Farms’ own meat. Plus, it comes with the house barbecue sauce, garlic mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables.
Different flavors
Daisy Cafe & Cupcakery, 2827 Atwood Ave.
Why settle for one meatloaf when you can have six to choose from? There’s ground beef with bacon; turkey, pesto and feta; chorizo and pepperjack; chicken, gorgonzola and leek; Reuben; and a vegetarian version. Hint: A Reuben is almost never a bad idea.
Meatless
Monty’s Blue Plate Diner, 2089 Atwood Ave.
Monty’s has a stand-up “Meatloaf of the Gods,” but even more impressive is the “Meatless Loaf of the Gods,” a light, sweet, sagey tangle of carrots, with excellent nutty gravy.
