tenderloin sandwich
Fried cutlet sub
A tenderloin sandwich is a breaded and fried pork cutlet served on a bun, iconic to Indiana and the broader Midwest.
The cutlet is typically pounded thin and extends well beyond the edges of the bread—the overhang is part of the appeal.
Served with pickles, onions, and mustard or mayonnaise: We stopped at a diner for tenderloin sandwiches on the way to Indianapolis.
