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 Nebraska 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 Nebraska.

According to a list compiled by Vine Pair, the most famous sandwich in Nebraska is the Reuben sandwich.

Here's what Vine Pair had to say about the state's most popular sandwich:

"Created by Reuben Kulakofskuy at the Blackstone Hotel in Omaha, the sandwich was so beloved that it made its way onto the permanent menu at the Plush Horse, the Blackstone’s restaurant. Now popular nationwide, the sandwich is made with rye bread, thin-sliced corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing."
