Who has the best HAND BREADED Pork Tenderloin Sandwich?

Just as the subject- besides many a home kitchen- what bars, restaurants, church suppers, etc. have the best HAND BREADED Pork Tenderloin Sandwich in the region? Why? I have been a regular "lurker" on this blog:

And would like to sample many of the local offerings over the next few months.

Thanks!

You got it on the first try, Lora! Actually, links embed themselves, as long as you take care to include either the "http://" or the "www."

As for breaded pork tenderloin, my impression is that this is a specialty of Evansville, Indiana, just down the river a piece, and maybe the German-heritage towns on the Indiana side between here and there ... Jasper, for instance. I haven't found this delicacy as common here in the Louisville metro area - possibly the porchetta sandwich at Polly's Freeze, which is now closed for the winter. If it's around, though, I hope folks will jump in with their favorites!

I have yet to eat one locally that isn't dry and incredibly bland. I'm eager to see any suggestions that get posted.

I remember it as being an Indiana thing growing up.

No idea whether it's hand breaded or not, but the tenderloin sammich at Otto's (in the Seelbach) is very tasty. Or maybe was mighty tasty - I know they were renovating Otto's and giving it a new name; no idea if the menu changed.

I had one a few days ago @ Jack Fry's for lunch. Homemade pretzel bun, boursin cheese, apple/onion jam, and pickles. It was very good.

Hate to tell you this, but Polly's famous porketta is actually bought in breaded and frozen!! Mine is bought in fresh and breaded to order.

I'm glad to see this thread resurrected. You see, without a doubt, the best hand breaded pork tenderloin to be had in these parts was at the Blue River Cafe in Milltown, IN. Since it is unlikely they will be reopening after their most recent fire, I'm now on a search for something that even comes close.

In a pinch, you might try the Pork Tenderloin Sandwich at Culver's. Their menu describes it as "premium center-cut pork loin . . . hand breaded with seasoned cracker crumbs and fried golden brown on a lightly buttered, toasted bun."

I need to get up to Georgetown to try Allison's version.

Yes Bill P and Lois, you need to come and try mine!! Had the former chef of Blue River Café in the other day, he said they are not re-building, they have had enough. Apparently the hood system was not installed correctly.

I didn't know you had those. It sounds like another reason for a bicycle ride!

Yes, indeed we do Ray, also a Greek Style Pork Tenderloin, which is marinated in olive oil, garlic and oregano and grilled. I recommend tzatziki, lettuce, tomato and onion on it!! I was telling someone about your epic bike ride from Louisville for a gyros just the other day

Allison would you consider doing the hand breaded tenderloin greek style , I mean with the toppings not the marinade .I love my breaded tenderloin but the greek style toppings sound yummy.

Bev, of course I would, tzatziki is good on anything!

Last night I picked up dinner to go from Bare Shoulder BBQ in Charlestown. While paying I noticed that they have added a Hoosier Tenderloin sandwich to their meeting. I confirmed that it was breaded and fried. I didn't try it but everything I have had from them has been good so far.
