"In Search of the Famous Hoosier Breaded Pork Tenderloin Sandwich!" by Jensen Rufe

A 12 minute doc short about Indiana's beloved culinary delight.

Director Jensen Rufe and Cameraman Steve Love ventured all over the state for a whole week devouring notorious 'loins for breakfast, lunch and dinner, learning about secret recipes, but also learning a lot about Indiana folks and their "simple pleasures" way of living High on the Hog!

[This was made as part of Rufe's graduate thesis from Humboldt State University, slightly re-edited in 2004 as part of the "Steve and Jensen's Universe" trilogy. This movie aired on PBS in San Francisco, Arcata and all over the State of Indiana in 1999.]

Are you kidding ? Every restaurant in Iowa sells pork tenderloin sandwiches. In fact the Iowa Pork Producers Association gives an annual award to the restaurant they think has the best tenderloin sandwiches.

you "don't find them in iowa" because in iowa they don'

t call a pork loin a pork tenderloin! look at the whole boneless loins (from IBP) mr dave is cutting up while calling it a tenderloin. pork loin is not a tenderloin.

Outside of Indianapolis there used to be a place called "Al Green's Famous Food" that was renouwned for its pork tenderloin sandwich. The place should have been a national landmark.

Daiquiri King in Houston has Pork Tenderloin sandwiches. Taste just like the one's I grew up eating in the midwest. Burgers and fries are real good there too. They're at Hwy 290 and FM 1960 in the Cypress-Fairbanks area.

I've eaten at Mr. Daves... grew up in the area, but live in Texas now. A little correction to Dave's statement that Texas doesn't have the Pork Tenderloin sandwich... sorry, Dave, but we have two restaurants in the DFW area that have this great sandwich on their menus!!! If you live near a Culvers, you can get this great sandwich!!
