I grew up in the Midwest and love a good fried breaded pork tenderloin with onions, pickles, mustard, and ketchup, and just a bit crispy. !  I now live in AZ and it is difficult to find a good one and the best I can do is the one at Culvers 40 miles away.

I am not familiar with this, but Sam's is selling whole tenderloins really cheaply these days, so I'm in to see if this is a new way to use it that I might like.

I've mostly been making green chili stew with it, but I'm flexible. It's pretty boring to just roast it whole.

breaded fried tenderloin is nasty - tasteless unless you  count greasy salt as a taste

that said a local restaurant does a tenderloin pizza - the breaded tenderloin is the crust with sauce , cheese and pizza toppings - it's amazing with jalapeños, ham and pine apple on top

Why does it need to be breaded?  Especially in a sandwich?

I consider myself a connoisseur.  There are good ones, there are bad ones.  It's a surprisingly difficult dish to do right.  Much like fried chicken.  There's more going on the just breading and frying.

It doesn't.  Grilled tenderloins are quite good.  I tend to prefer them.

I like them, but probably wouldn't order 'em in sandwich form.




ETA - It's been a long time since I've had some.

It used to be a regular thing for me when I lived in Indy.  A local place here in Missouri had them too for a while but I guess they didn't sell well enough and they stopped.  I miss them.

I make them from time to time. Buy the tenderloin cut in one inch slices, pound it to less then a 1/4" dip in egg then breadcrumbs, and fry.
You can't really get any easier than that.

A local chain has some awesome tenderloin biscuits. Martin's is the place, I think they are only in the Atlanta area.

Hoosier tenderloin lover checking in.  Pound them thin and yuuuuuge so the meat skirt around the bun is impressive.

We usually just slice them into chops.  They can be grilled as-is, pounded out, breaded and coated, whatever.

One of my favorite things. Here in the midwest they make them so big you can make a 3 or 4 sandwiches out of one. Mustard and onion on mine.

Being I live in Indiana...this is a staple for us here. Any decent mom and pop tavern or restaurant has a quality breaded tenderloin.

OP, I have no idea what that thing is in your post but the only form of breaded pork I know is jagerschnitzel with mushroom gravy and a side of spaetzle.

My favorite sub shop sandwich of all time is the KING CUTLET! Now sold and called ROYAL CUTLET. Still good but not like before. They are in Salem NH.
Not tenderloin though…doesn’t need to be because of running the cutlets through a machine. Definitely PORK and deep fried! I like it Italian style with sauce and provolone. God I miss those. I make them at home sometimes…??

There was a "German" restaurant in my old neighborhood that did this really well, and then it closed.

i have been trying to re-create it for a few years. Mine is edible, but Fritzel's was downright magical.

I made some last night for supper.  I brush on some olive oil then season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and smoked paprika. I then coat with seasoned panko and bake at 400 for 20 minutes.

You gotta learn to make it yourself, brother!

Moving away from home is one of the things that made me put more effort into being a good cook.

Yes sir.. but location is key.

A proper tenderloin, cooked with love by a plump Eastern European woman at a castle in the Homeland…

FYI, That is a boneless pork chop…not tenderloin. Pork chops come from the loin that runs along a pigs back outside of the rib cage. It is a bigger cut of meat and not as tender. Pork tenderloin comes from inside the pigs ribcage along backbone and is a smaller piece of meat.

We used to have a place here that served them that large and other places in Cole Camp and Warsaw. Only the Cole Camp place is still open. They sure are good.

Smoked ham hocks and green beans with onion is great comfort food. Let it cook until the meat is falling apart and shred it off the bones, and add back in.
