Crispy Pork Tenderloin Sandwich

Along with corn, the highest literacy rate in the US, and not being Illinois, breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches are the pride of Iowa. There are any number of topping combinations, but in the humble opinion of this author, yellow mustard and dill pickles are the way to go.
