Massive Pork Tenderloin Sandwich
Dating back to the early 1900s, the Tenderloin Sandwich has been a comforting staple for Hoosiers and this unique rendition is bound to maintain that long-standing tenderloin tradition. The Massive Pork Tenderloin Sandwich extends beyond its brioche bun, receiving an infusion of additional flavors from a quintet of toppings, namely, zesty herb aioli, yellow onion, dill pickles, tomato, and lettuce.
