Today for dinner I made a run to the local Culvers to bring back some food while watching the games. Double cheeseburger, onion rings, and cheese curds. Cardiologist appointment pending.

Many places it is too thin and over cooked and dry. Had some good ones at some mom and pop drive ins but they’ve mostly all closed up shop. Culver’s is ok…have you had them at Penguin Point??

Impossible down here...the words "fried" and "pork" don't belong in the same sentence in Texas... I do get Culver's pork tenderloin once in a while, but as you said it's simply ok... What I wouldn't give for a pork tenderloin from The Bush in Terre Haute...or there use to be a place on the southeast side of Indy that had a killer pork tenderloin sandwich...can't remember the name but there was a bowling alley across the street...

Probably because I'm a pepperoni guy...Gino's sausage pizza was ok, but Lou's pepperoni won the day for me... And Home Run Inn is in there somewhere... Lous is my sons favorite so I've had that many a time. Had a couple birthday parties in the firehouse. Lou M has a nice crust but Ginos East crust is a hair better. I like the cheese, sauce and toppings of Ginos and Giordanos over Lous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of my house the best tenderloin sandwich I can get is at the local marathon gas station believe it or not. But like you said, alot of the good mom and pop places are gone Edited January 17, 2022 by mrflynn03 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt. A ton of good pulled pork and bbq in the south and Texas. Just when it comes to a sandwich chicken sandwich can get pretty mundane and when you don’t want a hamburger a pork tenderloin for me is the perfect solution. Totally different subject but when I’m talking pork it’s the first place that comes to my mind…if you are ever traveling through western Kentucky past Grand Rivers make a reservations for Patties 1800 restaurant…they have a two inch thick pork chop that is to die for….best I ever had. Steak is pretty darn good too. Combine with their flower pot homemade bread and strawberry and cinnamon butter…if you have any room left then you need a slice of one of their homemade pies. You won’t regret the trip….well your waist line might. https://www.pattis1880s.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, my wife and I go to a place called Perry's Steakhouse over in The Woodlands...this is their pork chop... It's pretty good, but their steaks are much better... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 I guess since they have chicken tacos it's relevant to the thread but does anyone have an opinion or tried Torchy's Tacos? Based out of Austin, Texas but have been rapidly expanding. Just announced they are opening another Indiana location in Fishers. Friend of mine has been inquiring about franchises and was curious from anyone on here who has had them what they think of menu, price, taste,etc....

Been to Torchy's many times...Kingwood, The Woodlands, San Marcos... Great off the beaten path tacos...Love the Trailer Park Hillbilly Style... I know fried chicken doesn't sound like it belongs on a taco, but it works pretty well...I've had probably 5 or 6 other menu selections, and they were all good... A bit expensive for tacos, but I've never been to one when it wasn't packed... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy has a dozen franchises of Jimmy John's in Iowa and Illinois but let's just say the latter is causing so many headaches. He's looking into one of these joints. I just looked at their menu and can't wait to try this spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in a place like Fishers it'd go over really well...As I said, a little pricey...Tacos range between 4-5 bucks apiece... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found out about the "Hillbilly style" from the guy that took my order a while back...I ordered the traditional Trailer Park and he said, "You look like a Hillbilly Style guy to me." I wanted to punch him... After I tried it, I wanted to hug him... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
