Taste of Fame…

Have you ever tried a pork tenderloin sandwich??  It is my favorite sandwich and I thought it was available everywhere.  Maybe if you have a Culvers in your area you can get it.  According to an article in todays Peoria Journal Star these sandwiches are not available everywhere.

Luciano: Schooners pork tenderloin gets its moment in the spotlight

 “Finally, it’s time for the pork tenderloin to go national.
The sandwich — oversized and deep-fried, slid under a way-too-tiny bun — is a staple in central Illinois, making Peoria undoubtedly the pork tenderloin capital of the world. Elsewhere, though, it’s pretty much unknown — an injustice that Jeff Mauro wants to correct.
“That’s my hope,” said the star of “Sandwich King” on the Food Network. “I want everybody else to know about this.”  Quote from the Peoria Journal Star 2 March 2013.

Mauro was in Peoria yesterday afternoon at Schooner’s with his film crew to film a portion of his TV show which airs on the Food Network.  I never watch this show but I will try to catch this episode.  The Sandwich King airs on Sunday at 10:30 AM CST on the Food Network.
Now, in case you didn’t know, a huge pork tenderloin is breaded and deep fried and served on a 4 inch bun.  I am very particular what I want on my tenderloin sandwich.  Catsup, mustard and pickles on one side of the bun and mayo and tomato slice on the other side.  Pure nirvana.

“Nirvana is a place of perfect peace and happiness, like heaven. In Hinduism and Buddhism, nirvana is the highest state that someone can attain, a state of enlightenment, meaning a person's individual desires and suffering go away.”

And now I want a tenderloin sandwich.

Stay safe and be happy!!
