Washington State: banh mi
Okay so there are some eyebrow-raising entries in this list, but Washington couldn’t even get a sandwich from the correct hemisphere. (A quick Google search even indicates the sandwich was first imported to California)
I guess a Bhan-mi is about as close as Washington gets to having a regional sandwich, but still wtf?
A better title would be, “random sandwiches you can probably get while visiting this state” I see very little correlation to what I would consider as the signature sandwich of the state.
Looks like this was based off a list of 50 sandwiches made popular by the Food Network and Zagat magazine.

Specifically Cam’s Ham in Virgina advertises the Ham and Mayo sandwich.
Are these “state sandwiches”? Probably not. Judging by the comments, you’re all rather passionate about your sandwiches and what they represent. I’ve even received reports on this post saying it’s false information. Perhaps we need to consider the source of this information and take it with a grain of salt.
Thank you all for remaining civil, and acknowledging the existing of sandwich alternatives such as hot dogs, tacos, and quesadillas.
Mayo on a smoked brisket sandwich?? That’s not from Texas, y’all.
Texas would be brisket, barbecue sauce, and possibly pickle slices and/or chopped onions in between two slices of white bread. Butter the white bread beforehand for extra points.
I guess that’s too similar to the Kansas one on this chart though
This guide is awful and bad.
Country ham and mayo??? What the genuine fuck?
Here’s a restaurant in Virginia that specializes in that…
I also mention in another comment that this is likely based on a list by the Food Network.
This is not country ham.
This is country ham:
Country ham is salted ham. Always, 100%, like pre-refrigeration levels of salt, to the point that it’s shelf-stable.
Also the source is is in the guide, which I didn’t see until now. Looks like AI generated blogspam to me. Virginia is known for country ham, but no way has anyone put it on bread that wasn’t a buttermilk biscuit alongside mayo and called it a sandwich.
I’m not at all disagreeing that Cam’s Ham isn’t serving Country Ham. I was just hoping to provide a little context to the graphic using the cited sources and some additional information.
It’s a graphic that someone’s probably put a fair bit of effort into, not spam. This is spam:
The reference the graphic cites is blogspam, the infographic is a weird ad for TitleMax that someone did presumably put time into. Unfortunately, it is good effort put towards bad information.
The reference in question, from the bottom of the image: https://www.ezcater.com/lunchrush/office/america-50-iconic-sandwiches/
One of the sandwiches is a bratwurst on a hot dog bun. It has the feel of an AI hallucination.
Ok, going through that source, I can see how some of that must be an AI hallucination. “Fluffernutter” can’t actually be a thing, can it?
Ohio checking in. I’ve never even heard of such a ghastly combination of foods. I assume this was just thrown in randomly because we have no unique sandwiches?
(Cincinnati would claim something with chili, but they’re a small portion of the state)
Yeah, especially because PA is known for putting fries on sandwiches. Ohio could be a sourkraut n sausage but not like they describe. AZ is close but should be New Mexico.
North Carolina uses an apple cider vinegar based sauce… not the sweet crap.
Or mustard based.
That would be SC. They got that one right on the chart at least.
I will fight whoever made this and wrote sweet barbecue sauce in North Carolina
So a hot dog IS a sandwich 😋
As are tacos, apparently.
While the whole chart appears to be hogwash, I’m still curious,
Is French Dip a California thing?
I’m from CA. I’ve eaten the sandwich. I didn’t ever think the two might be related.
Native Californian here, no fucking chance the French Dip is the state sandwich.
They were more popular in Northern California decades ago, but has long since been displaced with various Cali-Mex sandwiches.
When I think of a Californian sandwich it always has avocado slices.
Yes, absolutely. The list is bunk. I’m just curious about the French dip.
It’s an Italian hoagie, not a sub dammit!!!
Also jersey burgers are really good. It’s a cheeseburger with pork roll on top.
Wisconsinites would never let broccoli touch a grilled cheese.
Yet another infographic pulled straight out of someones rear end.
No mention of the Alabama Hot Pocket?
Am disappointed.
Wild that ny is a pastrami sandwich instead of a chopped cheese or a bacon egg and cheese
I was expecting Minnesota’s to be a juicy lucy. The walleye is still kinda accurate, but it’s not a Minnesota exclusive and the juicy lucy is a lot more iconic. From the other comments here it seems like the guy who made this really didn’t know what they were doing.
