Reader recommendation: Pork tenderloin at Bull's
From a reader named Jack:
“Bull’s Pit Smoked Barbecue (125 W. Station St., Kankakee) offers a FRESH tenderloin sandwich that I believe may possibly be the best in all of Illinois, definitely all of Chicagoland. Seriously, It could be ranked among the front runners in Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, or anywhere. It’s not cheap (about $7) but it comes with your choice of two side dishes.”

We love anything from Bull’s. I agree the tenderloin is the best around, possibly in the state. His pulled pork is to die for. My wife and I go to the Farmers Market every Saturday just to have the puuled pork in an nice, outdoor environment. The ribs are great, and the Saturday night beef ribs are HUGE! We can’t say enough good about the place. We eat there at least twice a week, and usually recognize other customers as well. When we were in there last week, there was some guy who sounded like a food critic from a Chicago magazine in there, so they apparently are getting some recognition!

I have had the pork tenderloin at Bull’s & it is good. Unless it’s changed, you can get it for a cheaper price without the sides. Call me crazy but I still go to Jaenicke’s when I want a pork tenderloin. I won’t go get the ones that are ground up & pressed back together. For anyone interested in making your own, Berkot’s in Manteno sells pork tenderloin patties in the meat dept. All you have to do is bread them (or not) & cook them the way you want. They are delicious.
