I used to date the son of the owners of the Trailside Cafe in Rochport Missouri. This is the second most sold item they have. Stephen King and his film crew in 1990 for "Sometimes They Come Back" ate these almost everyday. Read more If not these then they ate the Trailside Cafe Sandwiches. Yes I also worked there with them at this time, though I did not get paid, and I got to meet Stephen King and a lot of his crew. It was KOOL!.. See less

How to make it
- Mix the flour, the abused crackers and your seasoning into a bowl large enough to put a tenderloin into.
- Mix the milk and eggs in a bowl large enough to put a tenderloin into.
- Set aside
- Okay now! You take one of the tenderloins and put it on a nice wooden table.
- You take your meat tenderizer mallet and beat the crap out of it until it is thin, flat and big!!
- You then put it into the egg milk mixture, coating both side well.
- Then over to the flour cracker mixture, coating it well there also.
- ~Now this family would drop this into a deep fryer and fry it until done.
- I put it into a frying pan and fry it there.
- I did not own a deep fryer until last week!!!
- ~You then put it on the bottom side of the bun.
- On the top side of the bun should be the onion, lettuce and tomato slice.
- Pickle and chips on the side.
- This is sooooo good!
- When this was ready to serve you could not see the pickle or the paper plate it was served on.
- The tenderloin was flatted out that big.
- These people special ordered these cuts from a butcher in Columbia, MO.
- These were great.
- Mine never come out as good!
The above picture does not do thier sandwich justice. Its so much bigger and prettier.
