Eating Indiana tenderloin like an aristocrat

My ongoing quest to crown Central Indiana's tastiest tenderloin based on recommendations from Axios Indy readers recently led me to a big bite in Broad Ripple.
Driving the news: The Aristocrat Pub & Oxford Room was among a long list of recs from the crew over at Visit Indy, and one I hadn't had before.
- My previous trips to the Aristocrat were usually focused on testing the taps on the pub side, which maintains an unmistakable vibe that's both cozy and chummy.
My take: It's called "The Hoosier Tenderloin" on the menu, and it lives up to the name. Two thumbs way up.
- The meat-to-bun ratio was absurd, and in my opinion, exactly what you want when you think of Indiana tenderloin.
- It was high on the crispy and low on the greasy, which made tearing off the edges and eating them like an appetizer a highlight of the meal.
