From coast to coast, one thing unites Americans more reliably than traffic complaints and arguing over sports: sandwiches!
Every state has that one beloved handheld masterpiece that locals swear by and tourists can’t leave without trying. Whether it's smothered in sauce, stacked a mile high, or fried to golden perfection, these sandwiches are more than lunch, their identity, pride, and often, a delicious mess.
No GPS coordinates needed here. We’re talking Minnesota icons, not hole-in-the-wall secrets. These are the undisputed sandwich champions of their regions, from the smoky pulled pork of the South to the meat-packed giants of the Midwest, and even the quirky creations only locals would dream up.
So grab a napkin and get ready to meet the sandwich that defines Minnesota.
According to a list compiled by Vine Pair, the most famous sandwich in Minnesota is the Walleye sandwich.
Here's what Vine Pair had to say about the state's most popular sandwich:
"A walleye is a flaky white fish abundant in the northern regions of Minnesota, so it isn’t uncommon to see this sandwich on menus at the area’s many fishing lodges. Served on a hamburger bun or French loaf, the fish is fried or grilled before it’s topped with lettuce, tomato, and tartar sauce."
