Kinda like the creeping in of milanesa on the Breaded Steak thread.

Next thing you know we'll be checking for papers when someone mentions toriten in the fried chicken thread.

Some of the hunted items are not native to this area but Chicago being one of the, if not the best, area for almost anything there is always hope that these specialty items can be found (and often are).

Might look even better hanging off the sides of a cheap white bun and breaded in crushed saltines instead of panko. Maybe some lattice fries on the side.

I'm not all that interested in the iconic American pork tenderloin sandwich, but I will respect the OP's desire to keep schnitzel out of the thread. Since the thread got me in the mood for breaded pork though, I headed over to Kamehachi for a nice rendition of tonkatsu.
Kamehachi's tonkatsu:
This hit the spot, though there are other versions I like better - with larger panko flakes and a bit more seasoning. The sweet and tangy worcestershire-style tonkatsu sauce was nice.

Silo Pork Tenderloin
Pickle and onion lent a nice contrast, and the fries were good, though needed to be crisper to move up to very good.
The Silo pounds their pork quite thin and the breading, while substantial, and crisp, does not overpower the pork.
The Silo's Iowa style pork tenderloin was certainly worth the drive to Lake Bluff, a very good sandwich that, if I lived or worked in the area, would be on my regular lunch line-up. Even though the pork tenderloin is getting all the press everyone I've mentioned the Silo to has commented on the pizza. The Silo is known for pizza, which, as we did not try, or even see served, I have no comment on.
Enjoy,

I don't think so. It was just as dry and awful when I had it. Burger King's is better.
If you ever make it to Chicago, there is a town about an hour west called Peru. The Igloo in Peru has one of the best tenderloins I have ever had. The sandwiches are not thick, but they are special. It takes two to fill you up, but the last time I was there they were only around $3 each. The place is an old drive-in, and I believe you can still get car side service. They don’t have a website. That whole area is full of great small family restaurants.

You better drive pretty fast if you want to get to Peru in an hour.

To paraphrase Bruce Springsteen...You can hear 'em in the back room pounding...and they deliver a tenderloin sandwich that is very satisfying. Certainly, much better than at the Igloo which seems to get a lot of love simply because of their longevity.
