Pork tenderloin sandwiches from Indiana
Indiana’s Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, a beloved culinary treasure, captures the essence of the state’s heartland roots. Its origin is a heartland mystery, but it gained immense popularity in the Hoosier state, particularly in the mid-20th century.
This sandwich consists of a thin, tenderized pork loin cutlet, breaded and fried to a crispy golden brown, often dwarfing the bun. It’s typically garnished with lettuce, tomato, onions, and a dollop of mayonnaise or mustard, balancing the crunchy texture with fresh flavors. This dish is a staple at Indiana’s diners, drive-ins, and statewide fairs, embodying the state’s agricultural heritage and simple, wholesome approach to food.
