Does anyone have a great recipe for a deep fried pork tenderloin sandwich?

Question

When we lived in Iowa, we just loved eating deep fried pork tenderloin sandwiches there. Many restaurants have them and they were fantastic! Now that we're in Texas, there isn't one within a thousand miles. My husband and I are both dying for one and haven't had one for years.

I have found several recipes on the internet, but I can't figure out which one would be best. Some use cornmeal, some soda cracker crumbs, some bread crumbs, some a combination of those things.

I would love to have a recipe that someone here has tried and can recommend as being like the ones they sell in restaurants in the midwest!

Answer 1

Wow that sounds like the unhealthiest meal you can eat - on this planet.

So since this can never be healthy, I would fry the pork then melt some cheese over the top, add some sour cream, chilli sauce, satay sauce and then fry the whole d**n sandwich!
