Ohio pork tenderloin sandwich traditions

In Ohio, the pork tenderloin sandwich is a regional staple characterized by a breaded pork cutlet that is fried and served significantly larger than the bun. One notable location for this dish is The Spot Restaurant in Sidney, Ohio, which serves hand-breaded, half-inch thick cutlets in a retro, counter-style setting.

Other variations of the dish include different breading techniques, such as using panko, or serving the cutlet with breakfast toppings like sausage gravy.
