Pork Sandwich
The first time I ever ate a Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, was at a restaurant called Tip n Buds in Keokuk Iowa where I was born. I have been a big fan ever since. If you grew up in the Midwest or live there now, you know what I’m talking about right? There is just something that says Midwest about this sandwich. As you can see I like to eat mine with lettuce, tomato, and onion. Most of you know I live in Arizona now, and these sandwiches are hard to find. This recipe was created by my Mother and it’s my favorite Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, better than any restaurant! These are so easy to make, and whether or not you grew up in the Midwest, I encourage you to give these delicious sandwiches a try! We have been back home in Arizona now for one week. It was so wonderful to see my beloved pets! They were so happy to see me, they even cried! Pete and I had an uneventful trip driving back from Macatawa Michigan, except for one incident in 1875 miles. I was driving through Texas and passed a wide load truck. As I was passing I heard a big bang, and thought it was a rock. Pete and I stopped for lunch and he was checking out all our tires and said, hey you’re not going to believe this one. I walked to the front of our Prius and there in the front bumper was a needle nose pliers, it was perfectly vertical with the handles sticking in the bumper, and the sharp part sticking out! Luckily it didn’t go through the windshield or we could of been impaled! Other then that, we have so much fun driving together, and there’s never a lull in the conversation. Last year we went through Oklahoma, and we saw a sign that says Will Rogers museum, Pete said who’s that? And I proceed to say, you know Trigger! So every time we go through Oklahoma now, we always laugh when we see that sign. There is nothing better then traveling with your best friend! He even remembered the cds this year. I’m updating my blog soon, so please stay tuned with some new and exciting recipes! As always I love to hear from you, so if you have time, please leave me a comment. Love, Stacey

These are the best! My mouth is watering just looking at the photos. You do know Trigger belonged to Roy Rogers not Will, right??
Stacey
Hi Zitaca, thanks for the great recipe! Yes I do know about Trigger, that is why every time we go there we laugh! When Pete said who is Will Rogers? I said you know Trigger, and he said that is Roy, Duh! Love, Stacey

Hola!
Sadly, Tip N Buds is gone. The best tenderloins I’ve ever had were at Keokuk Country Club, which is also closed down, for now. Funny, I always thought that my mom got her recipe from Mazie, but I don’t ever remember saltines playing a role, so I’m excited to try these! Love reading your stories from Michigan. Steph and I are spending Thanksgiving week on the north shore of Lake Superior, and I’m making Gondola bread tonight!
Tell Pete hello, and Happy Thanksgiving!
Stacey
Hi Chris, sorry about Tip N Buds! We just had the tenderloins last night for dinner! Have you made the Gondola bread yet? I'm anxious to know how it turned out! Love, Stacey

I’m a little late on responding to this favorite Iowa treat. Whenever my husband and I go back “home” (from the Chicago) we must have a tenderloin sandwich. It reminds me of date nights when I was young that always seemed to involve a tenderloin at one of two favorite restaurants for high school kids. Your mom will remember them.
If my husband sees this easy recipe he will want me to prepare them for us very soon. In fact, it’s so easy…..maybe he could do take on the task!
Stacey
Hi Judy, the first time I had these delicious sandwiches was at a restaurant when I was 3 years old in Keokuk Iowa. They're one of my all time favorites. My Mother actually made up this recipe, and it's so easy and so good! Let me know if your husband makes them! All my best, love, Stacey
