Breaded Pork Tenderloin

If you’re one of those sandwich purists who need their meat to fit firmly inside the confines of a bun, Iowa’s breaded pork tenderloin sandwich isn’t for you. See, the tenderloins from America’s leading pork-producing state must be pounded extra thin so they cook through when they’re deep-fried. The result is a sandwich as wide and flat as the state itself, far too big for the traditional sandwich roll. Try one of the jumbo ones at the state fair, and you can probably split it between two people.
