I went to Miles Lab for lunch today in Elkhart.

I tried out their Breaded tenderloin it was really tasty.
It was served on Brioche Bun with cheese, lettuce, tomato and pickle.

And a Fritter is NOT the same thing as a Breaded Tenderloin!

AGREED!

If ever in Columbus, try the one at Ziggies (off US31, in Rural King shopping center). My favorite local T-loin.

Thanks,

Craig

Ziggy's is the best I know of in Columbus, since Shorty's is gone. With apologies to Joey and Debbie, I've not had Kramer's tenderloin. It could be the best for all I know. But I've had Ziggy's (my band plays there) and it was great.

No, not the same thing. All breaded tenderloins are fritters but not all fritters are tenderloins.

Kinda like all bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon.

I like bourbon! But I don't care for all whiskey. Scotch sucks but those Canadians distill some tasty stuff. This being a tenderloin thread bourbon seems appropriate. Bourbon and Tenderloin!!!!!! Maybe that's what I will do on Inauguration Day.

I used to work a bar in Ft Branch called The Country Side. After closing we would sometimes head to Lakeview Truck Stop on Hwy 41 to eat. I would always get the Breaded tenderloin with a side of Krinkle cut fries.

The place was torn down several years ago.

No reference to Gray Brothers in Mooresville? Come on, now, people.

Get it smothered in white gravy and it is pure heaven.

Hell, they've even been featured on multiple Food Network shows for it.

Kokomo mentioned, but not Ned's Corner Pub (only searched first 3 or 4 pages).
Used to go there for lunch, on Thursdays (tenderloing day IIRC).
But that was yrs ago. Haven't been there since........proly 2008.
Never had a bad tenderloin there. Think one was good, the others fantastic.
I used to hit Ray's too. Good, just different types.

FWIW, regarding the confusion about tenderloin vs. fritter.

A tenderloin is a cut of meat.

Fritter, in this case, is basically a method of cooking involving frying something, usually small, dipped in batter.

The sandwich starts with a pork tenderloin, pounded flat, and then prepared like a fritter. The result is normally called a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich, but if someone calls it a pork fritter sandwich there is a logic to it. It is also perfectly reasonable to still call it a tenderloin even though it was pounded flat since that is the cut of meat you started with.

To really screw everything up, most hand cut tenderloin sandwiches are cut from a boneless pork loin, not the actual tenderloin.

I almost asked if anyone knew whether restaurants really used the tenderloin or not. Thanks!

It would have been great if it had originally been called a Hoosier pork sandwich or something like that, a distinctive name that wouldn't be confused with something else.

Hoosier pork sandwich? I think that's what Donnie Baker called it the night Angel Skinner and Patty Ferguson both showed up. I gotta go...

Top Notch in Brookston, just north of Lafayette. It's my favorite to date.

All this talk about tenderloins has got me going to my favorite breakfast spot that makes a damn good breakfast tenderloin in the morning.

Not in IN so won't drop business name.

Love me some Gray Brothers! Good eats.

Been a long time since I've had one but Headquarters (known as Fritch's before Whop retired) in Jasper had some really good ones. A little onion, a couple slices of dill pickle, and a dab of ketchup. Yum!
