God I know that they wanted to avoid naming the cheesesteak for Pennsylvania but they didn't need to challop and name a sub-par B-list sandwichThe Primanti Bros Sandwich is great and should have been picked
The Primanti Bros Sandwich is great and should have been picked
What's also fucked up is that even if you go for the roast pork sandwich you go to johns in south philly, not fucking reading terminal

How many fuckign 50 States/50 Sandwiches lists are there?
The fried catfish sandwich for Arkansas on the last one was "acceptable". Fried bologna on this one is more like, where, in Bentonville or some other Missouriesque place around here?
If I had to nominate one on my own, I'd go with cheese dip. That's some sort of mix of bread and cheese, right?

im NOT sure
I was all set to bring a rain of fire on whatever bullshit they picked for Delaware, but seriously Capriotti's Bobbie is fucking AMAZING and I sometimes nearly cry because I live so far away from one. Really any Capriotti's sub. I am actually salivating a little thinking of a Cap's turkey sub with sweet peppers, provolone, onions, pickles, and oil and vinegar.
My secondary nomination for Delaware would be the scrapple sandwich.
I don't actually feel qualified to opine on a signature IL sandwich.

but i dont want to split hairs w/ who makes the best cheesesteak and shit tbh i dont care, id rather just have a general 1p3 consensus that "the cheesesteak" should be PA's representative sandwich, or whatever sandwich style not even nec the cheesesteak! i don't want this thread to devolve into like "well, x place has the best sandwich in the state" and yes i realize i started us down that path. id rather talk about regional fave sandwiches than restaurants in general, i guess

You can do these lists with birds or trees, but you can't do state lists on sandwiches, especially for any state that has like more than one town in it.

its true, but its still fun to talk about sandwiches and regional food imo

Here's Missouri's:
A sandwich with Asian flavors that isn’t a banh mi? Count us in. The St. Paul consists of hot egg foo yong smothered in mayonnaise and pickle, topped with lettuce and tomato and served on white bread. Some say that in the 1940s, Chinese immigrants invented this sandwich to attract American eaters to their restaurants. Park Chop Suey founder Steven Yuen is thought to be the creator, so no better place to go than his restaurant in Lafayette Square.
I hear the mayor of Lafayette Square went on to become the governor of St. Louis.

i mean really its the same as birds or flowers, imo. all of these things represent regions and not states. neither sandwiches nor biological phenomena are bound by geographical borders

You're from Delaware and you just called a hoagie a sub
Is the hoagie sub divide that clear
Or are you fading fast. Do we need to get you back to your home soil asap before you disappear completely

http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/youngandhungry/2013/04/22/official-state-status-eludes-marylands-soft-shell-crab-sandwich/
One Maryland state senator is not giving up the fight to make the soft-shell crab sandwich the official state sandwich of Maryland, despite his proposal dying in the legislature earlier this month.
Sen. Richard Colburn, an Eastern Shore Republican, said he is willing to introduce his bill again in the Maryland Senate, where it passed 43-1 in early April, or wait for another version of it to move in the Maryland House of Delegates, which shelved the bill on April 9. Colburn is taking solace in history. "It took about five years to get the state dessert passed," he said. (Maryland's state dessert is the Smith Island cake.)
Silly as it may be, Kelley should know that Maryland is actually somewhat behind on the official-state-food game. More than a dozen states have officially designated edibles, including pastries (Texas: sopaipilla and strudel), cookies (New Mexico: the bizcochito), dessert (South Dakota: kuchen), snacks (Utah: Jell-O; Illinois: popcorn), muffins (New York: apple muffin), and meat pies (Louisiana: Natchitoches meat pie). Maryland is, however, further along than D.C. or Virginia, neither of which has officially designated foods.

Claiming the best sandwich in NY State is in western New York and not in NYC just seems like hardtrolling to me.

If you say "hoagie" in Delaware you will be looked at quizzically or mocked mercilessly as an outlander, depending on how worldly your tormentors are.
Por ejemplo, subs, subs, subs, and subs.
Subs.

for every falafel sandwich in nyc there have gotta be like 3-5 shitty chicken parm heroes.

i lived in philly for 2 years and ppl were always like 'don't ever go to pat's or geno's' but curiosity finally won out and i went to pat's....lil steak portion cooked 45 minutes ago, slapped on a cold bun with unmelted cheese..food made with total contempt. three-card monte in a sandwich. still kind of pissed about it tbh.

Yeah I never went
I always went to Tony Luke's under the bridge. They got real successful and started expanding, franchising. There's one in NJ now. They jumped the shark when they opened at Citizens
I think Jim's is really good even though they have a rep for being for tourists since their biggest branch is on South street
