*INDIANAPOLIS (Sept. 23, 2024)* ? Indulge in Indiana's iconic breaded pork tenderloin sandwich as 'Porktober' returns for its fourth year. Diners can celebrate by visiting locally-owned restaurants on the Tenderloin Lovers Trail [ [link removed] ]?. The trail can be found on the?Indiana Culinary Trails Passport [ [link removed] ], launched by Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch [ [link removed] ], the?Indiana Destination Development Corporation [ [link removed] ]?(IDDC) and?Indiana Foodways Alliance [ [link removed] ]?(IFA).

Since 1908, the breaded pork tenderloin (BPT) has been Indiana's unofficial sandwich. The golden-brown crust and notable size of Indiana's BPT has made it a fan favorite for years. Crispy and thin or thick and juicy, pounded and usually fried, tenderloin lovers recognize Indiana's mouthwatering BPT for almost always being bigger than the bun.



"The breaded pork tenderloin has been a staple of Indiana's culinary scene for over a century," said Lt. Gov. Crouch, Indiana's Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. "The variety of pork tenderloins crafted at local restaurants across Indiana is a testament to Indiana's love for the sandwich and culinary innovation."
