The most famous local sandwich from every state

Each state has its own signature sandwich, from a classic, gooey grilled cheese to the cheese-filled Jucy Lucy. The choices span Alabama to Wyoming and include open-face preparations, fried seafood, and regional spins on the burger. Standouts include Alabama’s chicken sandwich with white barbecue sauce, Minnesota’s Jucy Lucy — a burger cooked with cheese inside — Illinois’s Horseshoe, an open-face sandwich topped with fries and cheese sauce, and Indiana’s Hoosier, a breaded pork tenderloin served on bread.

Seafood features heavily: Maine’s lobster roll, Delaware’s soft-shell fried crab sandwich, Maryland’s crab-cake sandwich, and Louisiana’s po'boy with roast beef or fried seafood are all local favorites. California’s avocado club and New Mexico’s green chile cheeseburger showcase regional ingredients, while Massachusetts’s Fluffernutter and New Hampshire’s maple-drizzled Monte Cristo reflect other local tastes.
