Recipe(tried): Mid-West Style Pork Tenderloin Sandwich

Tammy, I am originally from Galesburg, IL. Have relatives that have always lived in Peoria. Do not recall the restaurant you are referring to, but here is the tenderloin sandwich recipe that I frequently use. There are more complex ones (if you want them, let me know):
