Business Insider: National Sandwich Day, November 3
Thank you, Mod Michele. You sent this to me punctually and I am tardy in posting. Lately I’m looking at life from behind the eight ball. The holidays are coming, fast and furious, long before I call the pocket. Leapt upon, we were, by National Sandwich Day, November 3. Happily, every day is sandwich day – even when you need to crack open the box of matzoh.
One tiny caveat with this map – speaking as the expert I am, having not lived in the midwest for 30 years – one would not eat a Wisconsin bratwurst with cheese curds, not on the brat anyway. After cheese curds, yes, but not under. Ask my mother. 



The business of being a sandwich insider is a very tough business indeed. Not for the feint of stomach.


Hungry, off to find a sandwich!
Yes, me too! Trying Cenan Bakery for the first time.
Jeff Saxman grilled ham & cheese is the best we can do?

Lisa Cherkasky I agree. That’s pathetic. What about country ham at least? What do you think is a better choice for VA?

Brian Ringers Philly cheese steak is a rough one, ask anyone from outside of Philly and that would be the answer, ask anyone from philly and it would be Roast pork. Jersey however is right on, when I first saw this Taylor ham and cheese (yellow american BTW) on a Kaiser, came to my mind immediately, and they got it right by calling it Taylor ham, NOT pork roll.

Laura Cooke It’s not my favorite but even a ham biscuit would be more accurate. I’d say Va. peanut butter.

Lisa Cherkasky Virginia hospitality is how I think of ham biscuits. Down around VA beach and Wmsburg.

Robert Cohen Wilkoff Stayed in a cool B&B many years ago in Charleston SC, where they were listed as the SC special breakfast sandwich. Really good!

Chris Lewis A Polish Boy Kielbasa Sandwich? No. Probably more apropos of Western PA – but the Philly Cheesesteak pushed it further west.

Chris Lewis Wikipedia says the Polish Boy is native to Cleveland. Mea culpa. I’d still lobby for the cheese coney. If a half-smoke passes mustard then so should the cheese coney.

I’m perfectly happy with the WI selection on this map but I agree, VA got the shaft. Not to mention they don’t even recognize DC on the map…Ben’s Chili Dog was robbed!
If you’re okay with it Sorry-Birds Ellen, then I am okay with it!
Yes, I absolutely agree about DC. And DC is such a no-brainer. The half smoke!
