There’s a popular saying that bigger is better, and while I can think of many exceptions to this claim, it’s certainly true about pork tenderloins. In Ohio — and the Midwest — tenderloins aren’t just a menu item, they’re an art. Ratios are key; you want your pork hanging off all sides of the bun or roll, with the latter providing a placeholder for two hands as they eagerly ferry breaded meat to mouth. While Indiana is perhaps best-known for this Midwest delicacy, there are many establishments known for delicious pork tenderloins in Ohio, like Hasty Tasty Pancake House, a longstanding diner in Dayton.

With its bold red facade and clean, all caps signage, Hasty Tasty could easily be part of a Wes Anderson movie -- it's the kind of retro, longstanding spot this acclaimed director would adore.

...tenderloin sandwich. Arguably the best pork tenderloins in Ohio, Hasty Tasty doesn't mess around when it comes to this 'wich. A large, toasted Kaiser roll is no match for the tenderloins; while the former is certainly formidable, the latter is a sizeable slab of breaded pork that exceeds the bun on all sides. In other words, it's perfect.
