Massive Pork Tenderloin Sandwich
The Massive Pork Tenderloin Sandwich has been a favorite comfort food for Hoosiers since the early 1900s, and this particular version is set to uphold that tenderloin tradition. This sandwich, with its tenderloin extending beyond the confines of its brioche bun, gets a flavor boost from a quintet of toppings—zesty herb aioli, yellow onion, dill pickles, tomato, and lettuce.
