This is a regional culinary delight, and many will claim it was invented in Iowa.

I’ve had many of these, and the best, by far, was in Dallas at a dive bar owned by an old drunk from Wisconsin.

In fact, while some will argue that the pork tenderloin sandwich was invented in the Czech neighborhoods of Cedar Rapids(IA), evidence suggests the sandwich was born in 1904, created by a pushcart operator named Nicholas Freinstein—in Huntington, Indiana. The idea was to bring the German Wiener schnitzel to the masses.

Robin Miller, the late IndyCar reporter, frequently recommend the Mug n Bun. If I ever get up that way, I’m going there for a tenderloin sandwich. They have a good looking website.

The Aristocrat has a good one imo. French onion soup on the side with some cold ones.

Indy ain’t all bad.

Other observations: pies are fairly ubiquitous up there. Seemed like majority of restaurants I ate at had copious pie selections.

I had to google this. It's a fried pork chop on a bun?

Mug N Bun in Speedway is good plus it has a fun old school drive-in vibe.

Sahm's is really good. One in Fishers on Allisonville Rd and one near Broad Ripple on Keystone Ave.

My absolute favorite is the ones you get at the track in May during qualifications and race day.

Mustard only!!!
