Pork travels well

Pursuing Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches is branching out. The singularly focused website, which was the subject of one of my most popular Web Search columns a few years ago, was recently added as a Facebook group by its proprietor, David Stovall of Tonka Bay.
“Your Web Search article on that St. Olaf, Iowa, tenderloin created quite a stir two years ago,” David said. “People are still discovering it or its re-publication in other newspapers and e-mailing me.”
It’s easy to see why. Here’s the photo (taken by David) of the monstrosity that ran with that column:

As I wrote then: “The ‘world’s largest pork tenderloin’ sandwich at the St. Olaf Tap in St. Olaf, Iowa, practically covers a dinner plate. The bun is apparently just a decoration.” Looking at it again, I’m actually reminded of the 1950s movie The Blob.
Still, now I’m really hungry for lunch.
