The Hoosier Heartland Hero: The Pork Tenderloin Sandwich
Indiana is all about the pork tenderloin sandwich, and Indy takes it to a whole new level. Imagine a juicy, hand-breaded pork tenderloin that could double as a small child's head, nestled between two slices of fluffy white bread. This is not for the faint of heart (or appetite). Some places even offer them on Texas toast, which is basically a heart attack waiting to happen, but in the best way possible.
Pro tip: Don't be shy about asking for it cut in half. Those things are behemoths!
