Tenderloin or Bust: A 4-Day Backroad Binge
When it comes to iconic eats, Indiana doesn’t mess around—especially when there’s a pork tenderloin sandwich involved. This isn’t just any sandwich. We’re talking about a Hoosier masterpiece: a juicy, crispy, breaded cutlet that’s bigger than the plate it’s served on, tucked inside a modest hamburger bun that’s usually hanging on for dear life. From small-town diners to roadside bars, the pork tenderloin is Indiana’s unofficial state dish and a rite of passage for anyone hitting the backroads. It’s golden, it’s glorious, and around here, it’s basically a food group.
When you take the interstate, you get where you're going. But when you take the back roads? You find things. Brandon Gentry grabbed a couple friends and went to find the best pork tenderloins in Indiana. Ten tenderloins in four days, no chain restaurants and only backroads. Watch the road trip and discover some tenderloin hidden gems!
